Apple lets developers show retention messages before a subscription is canceled
Apple added a subscription retention feature for developers that lets them show messages when a subscriber tries to cancel. The messages appear in the cancellation flow and can include text, images or a special offer. They are set up in App Store Connect for auto-renewable subscriptions, with options for subscriber eligibility and wait time between messages. A separate Retention Messaging API, available by request, lets developers choose which messages to show based on subscription details.
