Trade groups told the FTC a simple "Click-to Cancel" proposal to easily quit subscriptions could actually lead customers to miss out on hot new deals.

Some of these issues can be Apple and Google’s fault since they control subscriptions if you buy through the app, but the company that makes the app controls your subscription if you subscribed outside of it. So it might be against the App Store terms of service to allow you to unsubscribe from inside the app. There’s a hidden setting on iOS to control all subscriptions which can be better or worse depending on your perspective.

That’s true, I forgot about that.

I've started and canceled a few subs in google.play. It's pretty easy compared to dealing with any of the companies directly, by a ton
