ANDROID users have been urged to check their phones for any hidden subscription services they may have forgotten about.

You could be paying hundreds of dollars in subscription fees without even realizing it.

Luckily, there’s an easy way to find and cancel subscription services on Android, CNET reported.

You’ll need to head to the Google Play Store to sort through everything you’ve subscribed to on your device.

Open the Play Store app and click on your profile picture.

Then click “Payments & subscriptions” and then “Subscriptions.”

This will pull up a list of all your current and past subscriptions.

You may even spot apps you’re paying for that you’ve totally forgotten about.

To cancel a subscription, just click the green “Cancel subscription” button.

You may be asked why you’re canceling and persuaded to stay with offers.

You’ll have to click through these options until you can choose to cancel for good.

The good news is you’ll still have access to most subscriptions until the end of the billing period.

Rotating what apps you subscribe to can be a good way to save money rather than keeping several subscriptions open at once.

This is especially true for streaming services if you don’t use them regularly.
