How to check my subscriptions on the Play Store?

Find the Play Store icon or search for Play Store and open it

Press on the 3 horizontal bars on the left-top corner

A menu should appear. The third option should be your subscriptions.

Remove any suspicious subscriptions. If you get on the Discover subscriptions page with the Get started button, you’re fine.
