Before you cancel
Refunds: No refunds; the downgrade takes effect when the current period ends.
After cancelling: If your data exceeds the new limit, iCloud stops syncing new photos and files until you're under quota (nothing is deleted immediately).
Good to know: Download your iCloud photo library before downgrading if you're over the free 5 GB — syncing will freeze until you free space.
Subscribed through the App Store or Google Play?
Subscriptions billed through Apple or Google can only be cancelled in the store, not on the service's website. iPhone/iPad: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Android: Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Deleting the app never cancels the billing.
