How to cancel in United Kingdom
We could only check the app-store route: the FT's own help pages refused our automated check, so for a subscription bought on ft.com, use the subscription settings in your FT account or contact FT customer help.
- If you subscribed in the FT app on iPhone or iPad (billed by Apple): open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, tap the Financial Times subscription, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- If you subscribed in the FT app on Android (billed by Google Play): go to Subscriptions in Google Play, select the FT subscription, tap Cancel subscription and follow the instructions.
- After you cancel
- Google Play: you can still use the subscription for the time you have already paid for. Nothing on the FT's own pages could be checked.
- Subscribed through an app store
- Subscriptions bought through Apple or Google Play are cancelled in that store's subscription settings. Apple says to cancel a trial at least 24 hours before it ends.

In the FT app on the UK App Store, Standard Digital is £39.00 and Premium Digital is £59.00, which look like monthly prices. Yearly-looking prices of £369.00 and £569.00 are also listed. Prices on ft.com itself can be different.
FT Edit, at £4.99 (or £49.00) in the UK App Store, $4.99 in the US and €5.49 in Ireland. It is a smaller editor-chosen selection of articles, not the whole FT.
