Grab your iPhone or iPad. Or, if you're feeling more desktop-y, hop on your Mac. We're about to embark on an exciting adventure into the land of subscriptions and purchases!

The Grand Tour Begins

First, find the Settings app. It's usually a grey gear icon. Tap it! Are you ready to unlock the secrets of your Apple spending?

The Profile Page: Your Digital Identity

At the very top, you'll see your name and Apple ID. That's your digital self, right there! Give it a tap.

A new screen appears! Look for the "Media & Purchases" option. Go ahead and tap on "View Account." This is where the magic truly happens.

You might be asked to authenticate. Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password. Security first, always!

Unveiling the History: Purchases and Subscriptions

Now you're in the account settings. Isn't it exciting? You’re about to become an expert in your own digital finances.

Spot the "Purchase History" option? Tap it like you're revealing a hidden treasure. Prepare to be amazed!

A chronological list of your Apple purchases appears. Games, apps, music, in-app upgrades – it's all there. You can tap on each individual purchase to see more details.

Subscription Central: Managing Your Digital Life

Ready for the next adventure? Back on the main account screen, look for "Subscriptions". This is where you see all your recurring payments.

Tap “Subscriptions”. You'll see a list of everything you're subscribed to. Netflix, Spotify, that fitness app you swore you'd use every day... they're all here!

Tapping on a subscription lets you manage it. You can change your plan, or even cancel it altogether. Freedom!

The Fun of Discovery

Digging into your Apple purchase history can be surprisingly entertaining. Remember that impulse purchase at 2 AM?

It's a chance to reflect on your digital habits. Are you really getting the most out of all those subscriptions? Maybe it's time to streamline your digital life.

Plus, you might discover a forgotten subscription. One you're no longer using but still paying for! Finding that and cancelling is like finding free money! Score!
