Open the settings app. Tap your name, then tap subscription. Tap the subscription that you want to mange. Don't see the subscription that you're looking for. Choose a different subscription option, or tap cancel subscription.

Question

I had been tapping on the icon, does that now allow for any cancellation option? Tapping on it does nothing.
