What to do next to get a refund from the AppStore

The next steps are to wait for information from Apple Support at the specified email address either a positive response or a negative. Rather, you should be contacted for details or some information for a refund of your subscription. It’s also worth noting that in cases where users have given false information or lied. Apple has permanently removed the ability to refund purchases on the App Store. There may be a situation when your purchase will not appear in the settings, try to wait a couple of days, the payment may be pending. As a consequence, it will be impossible to request a refund.

The timeframe for processing your refund app depends entirely on how you paid for the app. In the case of payment by bank card, the refund should be no longer than 30 days. If suddenly after 30 days no refund has come to your card, you will need to check with the bank for the reason. If you paid for the app from an AppStore account, you must get your refund within 48 hours.

It’s also worth remembering that Apple has the right to refuse you. Of course, there’re reasons for this, the most common reason for refusal is if you request a refund quite often. If it’s repeated in a short period of time. It’s also if the reason for the refund is repeated several times. However, if you have such a situation and you either mistakenly or want to restore justice, indicate honestly the reasons for the refund and Apple will consider your request.
