Manage Your Subscription
Learn how subscriptions are managed in inspectagram, how to determine where your billing is handled and what to do when updating, renewing or canceling access.
Why This Matters
Subscriptions can be activated through different methods including Apple App Store subscriptions, Google Play subscriptions and subscription codes provided by educational organizations, training providers, partner programs or promotional campaigns.
Understanding how your account was activated helps you know where your billing is managed and what steps to take if you need to make changes in the future.
Recommended Approach
Know how your account was activated before making subscription changes.
Why?
The process for managing a subscription depends on how access was originally obtained.
Understanding your subscription path helps prevent billing confusion and ensures changes are made through the correct platform.
Before You Begin
Before making subscription changes:
- Confirm you are signed into the correct inspectagram account
- Determine whether your access was activated through Apple, Google or a subscription code
- Review any instructions provided by your educational provider, training organization or partner program
- Verify your current subscription status
Step 1: Determine How Your Subscription Was Activated
Most accounts fall into one of the following categories.
Apple App Store Subscription
The subscription was purchased through Apple's App Store.
Apple manages the billing relationship and subscription settings.
Google Play Subscription
The subscription was purchased through Google Play.
Google manages the billing relationship and subscription settings.
Subscription Code Access
Access was activated using a code provided through:
- Educational providers
- Training organizations
- Industry associations
- Partner programs
- Promotional campaigns
- Other approved providers
Understanding which category applies to your account will help determine how future subscription changes are handled.
Step 2: Review Your Current Subscription Status
Verify that your account has the expected access.
Review:
- Subscription status
- Access level
- Active subscription features
- Any expiration information associated with your account
If something appears incorrect, seek clarification before making changes.
Step 3: Manage Apple App Store Subscriptions
If your subscription was purchased through Apple:
- Open your device settings
- Navigate to Apple's subscription management section
- Review your active subscriptions
- Make any desired changes directly through Apple
Apple subscriptions are managed through Apple, not through inspectagram.
Step 4: Manage Google Play Subscriptions
If your subscription was purchased through Google Play:
- Open Google Play subscription settings
- Review your active subscriptions
- Make any desired changes directly through Google Play
Google Play subscriptions are managed through Google, not through inspectagram.
Step 5: Manage Subscription Code Access
If your access was activated through a subscription code, follow any instructions provided by the organization that issued the code.
If you receive an additional code, you can redeem it within inspectagram by navigating to:
Profile → Settings → Code Redemption
Always review any instructions that accompany the code before redeeming it.
Step 6: Understand Subscription Changes
Before making changes, remember:
- Subscription code redemption does not cancel Apple App Store subscriptions
- Subscription code redemption does not cancel Google Play subscriptions
- Apple and Google subscriptions must be managed through their respective platforms
- Additional subscription instructions may be provided by educational organizations or partner programs
Common Mistakes
Forgetting Where Billing Is Managed
Apple subscriptions are managed through Apple.
Google Play subscriptions are managed through Google.
Always make subscription changes through the platform responsible for billing.
Assuming Redeeming a Code Cancels an Existing Subscription
Redeeming a subscription code does not automatically cancel Apple App Store or Google Play subscriptions.
Those subscriptions must be canceled separately if you no longer wish them to renew.
Making Changes on the Wrong Account
Always verify you are signed into the correct inspectagram account before reviewing subscription information or redeeming codes.
Ignoring Provider Instructions
Some educational providers, training organizations and partner programs may provide specific instructions regarding subscription access.
Review those instructions before making subscription changes.

- You know how your subscription was activated
