Apple has changed the rules for subscriptions. Previously, subscriptions were canceled by default if their cost increased, and users did not click in the pop-up notification that they agreed to pay more. However, now such explicit consent to automatic renewal is not required — although not in all cases.

As Apple points out, subscriptions will renew themselves if:

▪️subscriptions become more expensive no more than once a year;

▪️automatic renewal is allowed under local law;

▪️monthly subscriptions become more expensive by no more than 50% or $5;

▪️annual subscriptions become more expensive by no more than 50% or $50.

Users who want to unsubscribe will have to go to the app settings.
