From apple's documentation it is possible to offer free trials to users, after which they will be auto-billed at the end of the trial
If you offer a free trial, it will begin when a user subscribes. They will be automatically charged when the free trial is over, unless they have turned off auto-renewal. If you choose to offer a free trial, a drop-down menu will be displayed that will allow you to select the free trial duration.

Now i don't see this option available when i create a new auto-renewing subscription.
I see a screen like this as shown in docs
Does someone know where to enable this or is it even possbile?
Or do i have to manually develop the feature by saving the free trial start date?
App > Manage In App Purchases > Subscription Basic > 1 Month > Offer a free trial? Before one month if the user cancels the subscription will that app will available to the user.
You'll automatically be charged each renewal period depending on your subscription terms, for example: weekly, or annually. If you accept a $0/month trial offer, you'll get an email when your trial is about to end.
Go to App Store Connect and add another auto-renewable subscription product. When prompted to choose the subscription group for your new product, choose the same PoohWisdomSubs group you created earlier.
Find Subscriptions and then click "Manage". Step 3 Click button "Edit" to the right of your Apple Music subscription and then find "Automatic Renewal" and click "Off".
In iTunes, free trial auto-renewing subscriptions are only available for apps that are managed as newsstand applications. You can verify this if you create a new app and mark it as newsstand and then created an auto-renewing product.
Cheers!
