How to Cancel Apple TV+

Need to cancel your Apple TV+ subscription? This guide will help you cancel your subscription whether you subscribed directly or as part of an Apple One bundle.

Important: If you have Apple TV+ as part of Apple One, canceling Apple One will cancel all included services (Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud+, etc.). You cannot cancel individual services within Apple One.

Note: After canceling, you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. Your watch history and preferences will be saved permanently.

Step 1: Sign in to Your Apple ID

Go to tv.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Step 2: Access Account Settings

Click on your account icon or profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you're signed in to the correct Apple ID
  • Try accessing subscriptions through appleid.apple.com > Sign In > Subscriptions
  • On iOS: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Apple TV+
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again

If you subscribed through Google Play or another third party, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system, not through Apple's website.

If you have Apple TV+ as part of an Apple One bundle, canceling Apple One will cancel all included services (Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud+, etc.). You cannot cancel individual services within Apple One.

Apple TV+ doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your watch history.

  • Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
  • Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
  • Check your Apple ID account at appleid.apple.com to confirm cancellation status
  • Contact Apple Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
