    The renewal made through the iPhone is tied to the Apple ID and store subscription, but the Microsoft 365 license must be associated with the same Microsoft account used on the laptop.

    Do the following checks:

    1. On the iPhone
      • If the subscription was purchased in the iOS app, open Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions and confirm the Microsoft 365 subscription is listed and active.
      • This confirms Apple successfully processed the renewal.
    2. On the Microsoft account side
      • On the laptop, go to the Microsoft account Services & subscriptions page: https://account.microsoft.com/services/
      • Sign in with the Microsoft account that should own the Microsoft 365 subscription.
      • Check whether an active Microsoft 365 Family/Personal subscription is shown and that the renewal/expiry date is correct.
      • If the renewed subscription does not appear, it is likely associated with a different Microsoft account than the one used on the laptop. Sign out and try any other Microsoft accounts that might have been used when first setting up the subscription.
    3. If the subscription was purchased directly in the iOS app
      • Microsoft 365 subscriptions purchased from the iOS app are billed through the iTunes account and managed in Apple’s subscription settings. Auto‑renewal and cancellation are controlled there, not on the Microsoft site.
      • However, the Microsoft 365 apps on the laptop still need to be signed in with the same Microsoft account that is linked to that purchase. If the correct account is not obvious or the subscription still does not show under Services & subscriptions, contact Microsoft Support for account lookup and association help.

    If, after verifying all accounts, the subscription still does not appear under any Microsoft account, contact Microsoft Support and provide proof of the iOS purchase so they can investigate the account linkage.
