How to See Apple Purchases on Your iPhone

* This article is from our Tip of the Day newsletter. . *

Apple recently released an updated version of its software that allows you to view all purchases made with your Apple ID in one place. This makes it super easy to review all the things you've been spending money on recently and quickly cancel subscriptions to things you don't want. I actually realized there was a $5.99 weekly subscription I was paying for that I do not need, all thanks to this tip! Here's how it works!

Why You'll Love This Tip:

  • View all purchases made with your Apple ID in one place.
  • Quickly cancel any unwanted subscriptions and save yourself some money.
  • Check to see what a mysterious charge on your account was for.
