We get it. Maybe you've subscribed to every news source under the sun, and your inbox is overflowing like a bottomless mimosa brunch.

Whatever the reason, you're ready to cut the cord with the Washington Post.
But hold on there, Roy Rogers, before you dramatically unsubscribe and ride off into the sunset (or at least, close your laptop) – there are a few ways to handle this.
How To Get Rid Of A Washington Post Account |
The Ninja Escape: Cancelling Your Subscription
Let's face it, sometimes you just gotta go cold turkey. If you're rocking a paid subscription, here's how to disappear faster than a politician after a gaffe:
- For digital subscriptions: Head over to your My Post account, find the subscription section (because adulting!), and click that glorious "Cancel My Subscription" button. It's like hitting the unsubscribe button on all those embarrassing high school emails you forgot about. Phew!
- For app store purchases: This one's a bit trickier. You'll need to navigate the treacherous waters of your app store (Apple, Google, Amazon, you choose your poison) and find the subscription management settings. Remember, with great digital subscriptions comes great responsibility to cancel properly!
Pro Tip: Just because you're cancelling your subscription doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the news. The Washington Post, like many publications, still offers a limited number of free articles each month.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
The Diplomatic Farewell: Unsubscribing from Newsletters
Maybe you don't want the full Washington Post experience anymore, but you still have a soft spot for their political cartoons (we can't blame you). In this case, you can unsubscribe from specific newsletters without ditching your entire account.
- Look for the unsubscribe link: Most Washington Post emails will have an unsubscribe link lurking at the bottom. Click it, confirm your decision (because they do care... a little), and voila! You're free from the clutches of those daily digests.
Remember: You can always re-subscribe later if you get hit with a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out on political drama).
