We have already seen some videos of the new features in the new iOS 13 beta 2 and now we have some information on another new feature which has been discovered.
If you delete one of your apps that has an active subscription in iOS 13, Apple will let you know that you are deleting an app that has an existing subscription.
This was discovered by Federico Viticci from Mac Stories who revealed the information on Twitter, you can see his tweet below.
Never seen this alert before – Apple now tells you if an app you’re deleting has a subscription still active. Good move.

Why This Feature is Important
This is a useful feature as it will remind you to cancel any subscriptions from apps that you are deleting from your iPhone or iPad. Subscriptions can often be forgotten, leading to unnecessary charges. This new alert system ensures that users are fully aware of any ongoing financial commitments tied to the apps they are removing.
For instance, many users subscribe to services like streaming platforms, cloud storage, or premium versions of apps. If these apps are deleted without canceling the subscription, users might continue to be billed. This new feature in iOS 13 helps prevent such scenarios by providing a timely reminder.
How to Manage Subscriptions in iOS 13
Managing subscriptions in iOS 13 has been made more straightforward. To view and manage your subscriptions, you can go to the Settings app, tap on your Apple ID at the top, and then select “Subscriptions.” Here, you can see all your active and expired subscriptions, and you have the option to cancel or modify them.
This feature is particularly beneficial for those who frequently try out new apps and services. It ensures that users do not lose track of their subscriptions, which can sometimes be buried deep within the app settings or forgotten altogether.
Moreover, this feature can also help in identifying potential subscription scams. Some apps might offer free trials that automatically convert into paid subscriptions without clear communication. By alerting users about active subscriptions when they attempt to delete an app, Apple is adding an extra layer of transparency and security.
In addition to this, Apple has been working on improving the overall user experience in iOS 13. The new operating system comes with a host of other features such as Dark Mode, enhanced privacy settings, and improved performance. These updates collectively aim to provide a more seamless and user-friendly experience.
