Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged immediately for a 7-day free trial?

This typically occurs if you have previously redeemed a free trial for the same app on your Apple ID or Google Account. App stores automatically charge the subscription fee if they detect a prior trial history.

Can I contact Adobe customer service to refund my mobile subscription?

No. Mobile subscriptions are managed entirely by the respective app stores (Google Play or Apple App Store). Adobe does not have the authorization to cancel or refund purchases made through these external platforms.

How long does it take for Apple or Google to process my refund?

Refund processing times vary by platform and payment method. Store credit refunds usually take up to 48 hours, while credit card or bank refunds can take anywhere from 1 to 30 business days to appear on your statement.
