We'll also discuss some alternatives and things to consider before making your final decision.

Why Cancel Apple TV+?

Before we dive into the cancellation process, let's consider some reasons why you might want to cancel your Apple TV+ subscription:

  1. Cost-saving measures
  2. Finished watching specific shows or movies
  3. Found a streaming service with content more aligned to your preferences
  4. Not using the service frequently enough to justify the cost
  5. End of free trial period

Whatever your reason, it's important to understand the process and implications of canceling your subscription.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cancel Apple TV+

The process to cancel Apple TV+ can vary slightly depending on the device you're using. We'll cover the most common method using an iOS device:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device

    • Locate and tap the Settings icon on your iPhone or iPad's home screen.

  2. Tap on your Apple ID

    • At the top of the Settings menu, tap on your name/Apple ID.

  3. Select 'Subscriptions'

    • Scroll down and tap on 'Subscriptions'. This will show you a list of all your active and expired subscriptions.

  4. Find Apple TV+

    • From the list of active subscriptions, find and tap on 'Apple TV+'.

  5. Tap 'Cancel Subscription'

    • Scroll down and tap on 'Cancel Subscription' (or 'Cancel Free Trial' if you're still in the trial period).

  6. Confirm cancellation

    • A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm. Tap 'Confirm' to finalize the cancellation.

  7. Verify cancellation

    • The subscription should now show an expiration date. You'll have access to Apple TV+ until this date.

For other devices:

  • On a Mac: Open the App Store > click on your name > View Information > Manage > Cancel Subscription
  • On Apple TV: Settings > Users & Accounts > [your account] > Subscriptions > Apple TV+ > Cancel Subscription
  • On a web browser: Visit tv.apple.com > sign in > click on your profile > Settings > Manage Subscription > Cancel Subscription

What Happens After Cancellation?

After canceling your Apple TV+ subscription:

  • You'll retain access to Apple TV+ until the end of your current billing cycle or the end of your free trial.
  • Once your subscription expires, you'll lose access to all Apple TV+ content.
  • Your watch history and preferences will be saved for some time in case you decide to resubscribe.
  • If you received Apple TV+ as part of a bundle or promotion, canceling might affect other services.

Alternatives to Consider

Before finalizing your cancellation, consider these alternatives:

  1. Apple One: If you use other Apple services, bundling them with Apple One might provide better value.
  2. Family Sharing: You can share your Apple TV+ subscription with up to five other family members.
  3. Student Plan: If you're a student, check if you're eligible for the Apple Music student plan which includes Apple TV+.
  4. Promotional Offers: Apple often runs promotions offering extended free trials with device purchases.
