2. Tap your ‌Apple ID‌ at the top of the page.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Under the Expired section, tap on the service that you wish to re-subscribe to, or tap an active subscription to change it.
   
   
5. Tap the in-app purchase payment method you want to use to purchase the new subscription and authorize with Touch ID or Face ID.
