Many users assume that deleting or uninstalling the Norton app will automatically cancel their subscription. This is a very common misconception—and it leads to unexpected renewal charges. The truth is uninstalling Norton does NOT cancel your subscription. Whether you are using Norton 360, Norton Mobile Security, or any other Norton plan, removing the software from your device does not stop auto-renewal, and it does not end your billing agreement.
When you purchase Norton, your subscription is tied to your Norton account or app-store account, not to the installation of the app on your device. This means the subscription will continue to renew even if you uninstall the program from your computer, phone, or tablet. The billing operates independently from the actual app, which is why uninstalling alone does not prevent future charges.
If your subscription was purchased through Norton’s website, you must log in to your Norton account and turn off auto-renewal manually. This ensures the service will not renew at the end of the current billing cycle. If you subscribed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, your subscription must be canceled through those platforms instead. Each store handles its own billing, so uninstalling the Norton app won’t affect active payments.
Uninstalling Norton only removes the software from your device—it does not alter the subscription stored in your account. Think of it like renting a streaming service: deleting the app from your phone doesn’t cancel your paid plan. You must cancel through the correct account settings to stop future payments.
If you’ve already uninstalled Norton but you’re still being charged, that means the subscription is still active. Log in to the account where you originally purchased the plan and turn off auto-renewal. Once auto-renewal is disabled, the subscription will end automatically at the next billing date, and you will not be charged again.
In summary, uninstalling Norton does not cancel a subscription. To avoid unwanted charges, you must cancel the subscription through your Norton account or the app store you originally used. Taking this extra step ensures your service ends properly and prevents any future renewal fees
