How to disable the subscription Yandex Music on the phone Xiaomi

Managing digital services on Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones is often a question, especially when it comes to paid subscriptions. Randomly processing premium access to Yandex Music or a forgotten trial can lead to unexpected debits from the tied card. Users of MIUI and HyperOS shells sometimes have difficulty finding the unsubscribe button on the menu.

There are several proven ways to stop automatic payments and regain full control of your finances, and the deactivation process depends on whether you initially activated the service through the Google Play app store, directly in the app, or via a mobile operator.

In this article, we will take a detailed look at all current scenarios for disabling subscriptions on Android devices. You will learn where to look for hidden settings, how to use them. USSD-What to do if standard methods don’t work.

Analysis of the current status of the subscription

Before you start technical actions, you need to pinpoint the source of the debits. Often users forget that they activated the autorenewal during the free trial period. Check the transaction history in the banking application to see who exactly is going to the money.

If the payment description indicates Google Play, then the subscription is registered through a Google account associated with your Xiaomi. In this case, access is controlled through the settings of the app store. If the SMS notification from the bank indicates a direct payment to the operator or Yandex, the method of disconnection will be different.

⚠️ Note: Disabling Yandex Music or removing its icon from the desktop does not stop the charge.

It is also important to check whether subscriptions are made through third-party aggregator services, which often offer long trial periods, which can be disguised as normal payments and can be more difficult to find in a standard subscription list.

For accurate diagnosis, use the table below to compare the signs of write-off with the method of disconnection:

Disconnecting through Google Play settings

The most common payment method on Android devices, including Xiaomi, Poco and Redmi, is linked to a Google account. This is where all active digital goods are stored. To start, open the Play Store app on your smartphone.

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. In the menu that opens, select Payments and Subscriptions, then go to Subscription, and you'll see a full list of all active services tied to your Google ID.

• 🔍 Find in the list of Yandex Music or Yandex Music.
• 📱 Click on the service name to open subscription details.
• 🚫 Select the Unsubscribe button at the bottom of the screen.
• ✅ Confirm the action in the window that appears by selecting the reason for the cancellation.

After these actions, access to premium features will remain until the end of the paid period, but automatic renewal will be blocked.

💡

Google Play will be cancelled immediately, but music will remain available until the end of the paid billing cycle.

Subscription management in the Yandex application

If payment was made directly through the Yandex ecosystem, it is most convenient to manage a subscription through the official Yandex application or Yandex Browser, a method often used by Yandex Pay card holders or Yandex Plus program participants.

Launch the app and log in under the same acca-unt you signed up for. Go to the profile section by clicking on the person icon or avatar. Next, select Plus or Subscriptions from the service menu.

The screen will show the current status of your subscription. If it's active, you'll see a control button, often marked with a gear or text Change. Click on it and select the option to Disable Autorenewal. The system may try you by offering a discount or pause, but you need to insist on your decision.

After disconnecting the application, it is recommended to restart the Xiaomi device so that the cache of services is updated and the status of premium access has changed to standard.

Use of the USSD-Operator commands and menus

Many users subscribe to music through the services of a mobile operator, especially when buying new Xiaomi or Redmi smartphones, when they offer bonuses when activated, in which case the payment is deducted from the main balance of the phone.

There is no universal code to disable such services, since each operator (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2) has its own commands, however, the most reliable way is to log into the operator’s personal account through a browser or the My Operator application.

• 📲 Open your mobile operator’s application.
• 📦 Go to the Services or My Subscriptions section.
• 🔎 Find active paid options related to music or content in the list.
• ❌ Click the Disable button next to the desired service.

The alternative is the use of USSD-These are usually combinations of *111# or *152#, but they can change. Once you type in the command, you'll see a menu that tells you to follow the instructions to remove the unnecessary services.

⚠️ Attention: When disconnected through an operator, access to music can disappear instantly, even if the paid period has not yet ended.

Checking of third-party services and aggregators

Sometimes, subscriptions are made through intermediaries such as gift card services, subscription aggregators or affiliate programs when buying equipment, which Xiaomi owners may have encountered when activating a smartphone, when the system offered a “month of music as a gift” when registering for Mi Account.

Check email history on your phone-linked email. Look for emails from services like Start, Okko, or specialty subscription aggregators. Often, Yandex Music comes bundled with other services with a single subscription.

If you find that a full-service subscription (e.g., Yandex Plus) is active, you need to turn it off completely. It is usually impossible to remove music from the overall package separately.

Refunds and trial periods

If you have lost your subscription unexpectedly and you have not cancelled your subscription on time, you can refund your funds. Google Play allows you to make a refund within 48 hours of your purchase if you do not have time to actively use the content.

To do this, go to help.pay.google.com via your browser on your Xiaomi phone. Find the transaction you want in your history and select the option to Report a Problem.

In the case of direct Yandex subscriptions, support is tailored, and you can try chatting support through an app explaining the situation, but there are fewer guarantees of returns in the expired trial period than in the case of Google.

• ⏱️ Act fast: the less time has passed since the write-off, the higher the chances.
• 📝 Save screenshots of write-off notifications.
• 🚫 Do not use the service actively after detecting a write-off if you plan to return.

Remember that misusing returns can result in blocking the ability to purchase on your Google account.

Frequent problems and their solution

MIUI and HyperOS users sometimes encounter bugs when the subscription remains visually active after the shutdown, which may be due to app data caching or server synchronization delays.

Try to clear the Google Play Store app data. Go to Settings → Apps → All Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clean. After that, restart your phone.

If the problem persists for more than 24 hours, it is recommended that you completely remove your Google account from your phone settings and add it again.

⚠️ Note: Deleting your Google account from your device does not delete your account or your data in the cloud, but requires re-entering your password when you sign in.

Also make sure the device has an up-to-date version of the operating system installed. Android updates often contain patches for payment mechanisms.

How to Prevent Accidental Purchases

To prevent this from happening again in the future, set up purchase restrictions. Google Play allows you to set up mandatory authentication for every purchase, even if it is free or trial.

Open Play Store settings, go to Settings → Authentication settings. Select All Purchases option, and no subscription can be signed up without a password or fingerprint.

In addition, Xiaomi smartphones can use built-in parental controls or app time limits to minimize the risk of accidental clicks on banner ads inside games and programs.
