Hello~ You may click on the link below…


Check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support * & **


*Please note, if you already initiated your refund request, contacting Apple by phone or chat won't help speed up your request, or the processing of your funds. Monitor the status of your request on , reportaproblem.apple.com or with your financial institution.


**When will I get the money back?


If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item. Here's how long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement:

Store credit—It might take up to 48 hours to see the refund in your Apple Account balance.

Mobile phone billing—It might take up to 60 days for the statement to show the refund. Processing time might be affected by your carrier. You can contact your carrier for an update.

Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Apple Cash, and all other payment methods—It might take up to 30 days for the statement to show the refund. If you don't see the refund after 30 days, contact your financial institution.

Here's how to request an app or media refund from Apple (From: Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support - see the article for more detail.) If you bought this from a third party, see: About purchases not billed through the App Store or Apple In-App Purchase - Apple Support instead.

1. Sign in to https://reportaproblem.apple.com

2. Tap or click "I'd like to," then choose "Request a refund."

3. Choose the reason why you want a refund, then choose Next.

4. Choose the app, subscription, or other item, then choose Submit.

Note that if you allow—intentionally or not—another person access to purchasing on a device, or through Family Sharing if you are the Organizer, you are taking responsibility for things they do. Apple offers these features to help you avoid this situation:


On your device you can use Screen Time to prevent unintentional or unauthorized purchases from the App Store, in-app, and other Apple services. —> Turn off Apple In-App Purchases from Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Also on your device, require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases —> Require a password for purchases in the App Store and other Apple services - Apple Support


Use Screen Time as part of parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch —> Set up parental controls to manage your child's iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Use Screen Time to turn off in-app purchases on your iPhone or iPad —> Turn off Apple In-App Purchases from Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If a child made this purchase on their device as part of Family Sharing, consider activating Ask To Buy—> Approve what your child can purchase and download with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


Use Guided Access to permit a person to only use a single app —>

Thank you for reaching out. 🤗

It will say there what the status of your refund is, and how long it would take before you see the money, if at all. We do not work for Apple and we cannot see this information for you.
