This new feature in the iOS 13 developer beta 2 was spotted by MacStories editor-in-chief Federico Viticci.
Never seen this alert before – Apple now tells you if an app you’re deleting has a subscription still active. Good move.

This should help prevent situations where iOS users end up paying for subscriptions they are no longer using.
Further to this, Apple has cracked down on apps that try to trick users into subscribing, and will also be rolling out reminders that pop up when a subscription is due for renewal.
This is part of the major revamping that Apple is planning in iOS 13. Another new feature designed to save users money is “Optimized battery charging,” that is designed to slow the rate of battery aging, and increasing the lifespan of devices.
