Why does apple keep taking money from my card without even asking?

I’ve noticed that every time that I would buy something it would ask for my face id or confirmation. But this one time i had subscriptions that is stopped paying for and left it there, and once i added money into the account it automatically took the cash and didn’t even fully renew the subscriptions, so now i’m stuck having to get extra just to pay off something that I never intended to buy. Apple please start asking for confirmation when asking for renews, or even just weekly confirmation that you would still want to buy the subscription. Thank you.

When you subscribe to something you authorize Apple to charge for the subscription. As long as you have a subscription that you have not canceled properly, Apple will charge you every time that you provide a functioning payment method.


This is the ONLY way to properly cancel a subscription.
