User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello. I used the free trial of Instagram Meta One Essential, and I have already cancelled the subscription. However, my Apple purchase history shows a pending charge of $9.49. I cannot select the transaction, and I cannot download or update apps. Could you please check why this charge is pending and whether it can be removed?

Hello,
This is a user to user forum, you are not addressing Apple Support here. As users much like yourself, no one here has access to your account to do anything about it.
Apple advises that subscriptions must be cancelled more than 24 hours before they are set to renew, otherwise the hcarge may still be attempted.
Pending charges cannot be cancelled, they must be allowed to complete succesfully. Once that happens you can request a refund for them. Note that the refund is not guaranteed and is at the sole discretion of Apple.

Until the pending chage is resolved access to store services including downloading free apps and updating existing ones will be restricted. There is no way to remove or bypass the charge once it has attempted to be charged.
