How to import an Apple subscriptions screenshot
On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions and save a screenshot of the list. Open Subscription Guard’s screenshot importer and select the image. Compare each detected entry with the Apple account before selecting it for import. Enter anything the screenshot leaves out by hand.
Capture the Apple subscriptions list
Open Subscriptions from your Apple Account settings. On an iPhone with Face ID, briefly press the side and volume up buttons together. On an iPhone with a Home button and a side button, use those two buttons together. Save the screenshot to Photos if prompted.
If there are more plans below the visible area, take a separate capture and review each import on its own. Keep track of any repeated rows between the screenshots so you can avoid importing them twice.
Open the import review in Subscription Guard
Tap the document scanner icon in the Subscription Guard dashboard and choose the image in the photo picker. Wait for Import Subscriptions, which lists the entries the app found. Review the detected rows one at a time.
Suppose the capture shows a fictional drawing app at USD 8 a month and a writing app at USD 60 a year. Check both amounts and billing cycles in the review. Confirm the renewal date and active status in the Apple account before importing either row.
- Choose the screenshot in Subscription Guard.
- Compare the detected name, amount, billing cycle, date and status with the account.
- Select only the rows you want to add, then tap Import.
Handle missing prices and incorrect fields
The review skips rows with missing prices or a matching tracked name by default. For example, if the writing app has no price, confirm the amount and billing cycle in the Apple account and add the plan manually. For a matching name, compare it with the existing record before deciding whether to import another row.
Leave a row unchecked if its billing cycle or date is wrong and add it manually with the verified details. If you find a discrepancy after importing, open the saved entry and correct it. Check the dashboard once more so you know which records it now contains.
Check for subscriptions billed elsewhere
The screenshot covers only the rows visible in that Apple account view. If you pay for a service directly, check its billing account and add that subscription manually. Keep the actual price and cycle you find there.
If Import Subscriptions has no results, take a clearer capture with the relevant rows fully visible. If the new scan still misses a plan, enter its verified details manually.
Questions
Can I import only one entry from the screenshot?
Yes. In Import Subscriptions, select the eligible row you want and leave the other rows unchecked.
What if a detected subscription has no price?
Check the price and billing cycle in the billing account. Add the plan manually with those details.
Does the screenshot include services I pay for directly?
It captures the Apple subscriptions screen. Check directly billed subscriptions in the relevant provider account and add them manually.
