How to Cancel Google Play Auto-Renew

Select Subscriptions
All active Subscriptions are displayed on your screen for you to select from.
Tap the one you want to cancel.
Tap on Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen command.
Subscription is now cancelled.
Cancelling a subscription doesn’t mean you won’t get access to what you have paid for before a renewal is applied. For example, if the auto-renew on the subscription you paid is supposed to take effect 19th of next month which is also when your current payment expires; you will still have access to that service till the 19th after which this won’t be possible again since subscription has been cancelled.

No, it won’t and you will still be charged even if you do not have the app installed on your phone again. The above guide is how you properly cancel Google Play auto-renew subscription for an app or service.
