How to cancel Apple TV+ on your device or account

You can cancel Apple TV+ through the Apple TV app, your Apple ID account settings, or the platform where you subscribed — such as Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or your mobile carrier. The method depends on where you signed up. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep access until that date even after you request the cancellation.

Apple does not charge a cancellation fee. Your next billing date is the last day you will be charged, and your subscription ends automatically after that. If you signed up through a third-party platform, cancelling in Apple ID settings alone will not stop the charges — you must cancel through that platform instead.

Key Takeaways

  • You cancel through the same platform where you subscribed — the Apple TV app, Apple ID settings, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or your carrier.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready, so you retain access until your next billing date.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party platform, you must cancel there rather than in Apple ID settings, or charges will continue.
  • You can resubscribe at any time without penalty, and some promotional offers may be available to returning subscribers.
  • Your viewing history, watchlist, and saved shows remain tied to your Apple ID after cancellation and will be there if you resubscribe.

Cancel through the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

Open the Apple TV app and tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Account, then Subscriptions. Find Apple TV+ in the list and tap or click Manage Subscription. Tap or click Cancel Subscription, then confirm your choice.

On an iPhone or iPad, you can also cancel through the Settings app. Go to Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions, select Apple TV+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Both paths lead to the same result.

Cancel through Apple ID account settings on the web

Visit appleid.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Click Subscriptions in the left menu. Find Apple TV+ and click Manage. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice.

This method works from any computer or device with a web browser, regardless of what device you use to watch Apple TV+. You do not need to be on an Apple device to use this path.

Cancel if you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or another platform

If you signed up for Apple TV+ through Amazon Prime Video, Roku Channel, or a carrier like Verizon or T-Mobile, you must cancel through that platform, not through Apple ID settings. Cancelling in Apple ID settings will not stop the charges from your third-party provider, and you will continue to be billed.

Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account > Memberships and Subscriptions > Manage Memberships. Find Apple TV+ and click Cancel Channel.

Roku Channel: Open the Roku app or visit roku.com, go to Subscriptions, select Apple TV+, and click Cancel.

Carrier billing (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or other carriers): Contact your carrier's customer service or log into your carrier account online to manage subscriptions. The steps vary by carrier, so you may need to call or use your carrier's website or app.

What happens after you cancel

Your Apple TV+ access continues until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after that date. Any saved shows, watchlists, or viewing history remain tied to your Apple ID, so if you resubscribe later, that information is still there and you can resume watching where you left off.

You can resubscribe to Apple TV+ at any time through the same method you originally used. Some subscribers report seeing promotional offers when they return, though these are not may provide and vary by region and account history. There is no penalty for cancelling and resubscribing later.

If you cannot find the cancel option

If the Cancel Subscription button does not appear, you may have a free trial or a promotional period still active. Free trials and some promotional subscriptions cannot be cancelled early — they end automatically when the trial or promo period expires. You can still request cancellation to take effect at the end of the trial.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and cannot locate the cancellation option there, contact that platform's customer support. They can confirm whether the subscription is active and help you cancel it. Do not assume the subscription is inactive just because you cannot find it — charges may continue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my shows and watchlist if I cancel?

No. Your viewing history, watchlist, and saved shows remain tied to your Apple ID. If you resubscribe later using the same Apple ID, all of that information is still there and you can pick up where you left off.

Can I cancel in the middle of a billing cycle?

Yes, you can cancel at any time. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep access until your next billing date. You will not be refunded for the portion of the month you do not use.

What if I subscribed through my carrier and cannot find the subscription in my Apple ID settings?

Carrier-billed subscriptions do not appear in Apple ID settings. You must cancel through your carrier's website or customer service. Contact your carrier directly to manage or cancel the subscription.

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Apple TV+ does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can do so without penalty.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

After you confirm cancellation, you should see a confirmation message on screen. You can also verify by returning to the subscription management page — Apple TV+ should no longer appear in your active subscriptions list, or it should show a status indicating cancellation is pending.
