Support Creators 💖
Did you know that Apple takes 30% of your pledge if you sign up or upgrade through the Patreon iOS app (iPhone/iPad)?
😟 That means:
You pay more, but…
I receive less, because a big chunk goes to Apple – not to me, the actual creator you're supporting.
That’s a huge cut – and it goes straight to a giant corporation, not to me or any of the creators you actually want to support.
✅ Here’s what you can do:
➡️ Use a browser (on your phone or computer) to join or manage your membership: www.patreon.com
➡️ This way, your full support goes directly to me – not to Apple or other third parties.
Unfortunately, there’s no way for me to disable or block in-app purchases on Patreon.
My work shouldn’t be making tech giants richer.
EAT THE RICH FUCKERS!
Please don’t use the App Store to support creators – it really matters for all of us here on Patreon.
Thank you so much! 💖

Yes, that should work! 🤫 If you cancel your membership through the iOS app and then re-subscribe through Chrome (or any browser on desktop/mobile), it will bypass Apple’s extra fees. It is definitely cheaper for everyone if IOS is not used.

Does anyone know if it fixes it to cancel membership through the app and then redo it through chrome?

Money they get a large share from you for themselves, and I also have to pay Apple fees if you buy there, even though I don't want to.
