LinkedIn is one of the best platforms to connect with professionals worldwide. It offers amazing features for both users and recruiters, and a premium subscription provides even more benefits. But if you no longer need those services or want to save money on the monthly payments, you can cancel your premium subscription anytime. But how can you do that?
The LinkedIn website has a straightforward process for canceling a subscription. Just a few clicks, and you’re free from any future charges. However, people who paid for it through iTunes must cancel their membership on their Apple ID account.
We’ve prepared a step-by-step guide on how to cancel your LinkedIn premium subscription on both platforms.
