Still Deciding? What Will I Lose?

What happens to paid apps, subscriptions, and purchases after switching?

App Store purchases do not automatically become Google Play purchases, and vice versa. Some cross-platform subscriptions may work if tied to a separate service account.

What to do

  1. Identify who bills each subscription.
  2. Sign in to the same service account on the new platform.
  3. Verify entitlements before buying again or canceling.

Limits and compatibility notes

Check this before relying on the answer Uninstalling does not cancel billing; in-app purchases and family sharing are provider-specific.
