Open the settings app. Tap your name, then tap subscription. Tap the subscription that you want to mange. Don't see the subscription that you're looking for. Choose a different subscription option, or tap cancel subscription.

Start by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. Find the subscription you want to cancel and tap on it. Tap Cancel Subscription or Cancel Free Trial at the bottom. You'll get a pop-up telling you when the subscription will expire if you cancel, and you can tap Confirm to complete the cancellation.
Question

I had been tapping on the icon, does that now allow for any cancellation option? Tapping on it does nothing.
