You can cancel Apple TV+ through your Apple ID settings on any device, and your access stops at the end of your current billing period

Apple TV+ does not charge a cancellation fee, and you keep access to your shows and movies until your paid period ends. The cancellation takes effect when ready in your account settings, but the service itself continues until your next billing date passes. You can resubscribe at any time without penalty.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you subscribed through Apple directly, through an app store, or as part of an Apple One bundle. This guide covers each path so you can cancel the way you signed up.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel Apple TV+ on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or through iCloud.com without calling Apple or speaking to anyone.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, even after you cancel.
  • If you subscribed through the Google Play Store or Samsung TV app, you must cancel through that store, not through Apple's settings.
  • Apple One bundle members who cancel Apple TV+ keep their other services like iCloud+ and Apple Music active.
  • You can turn off auto-renewal without fully canceling, which pauses your subscription after the current period ends.

Cancel through iPhone, iPad, or Mac

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, or System Settings on a Mac. Tap or click your name at the top of the screen, then select Subscriptions. Find Apple TV+ in the list and tap or click it.

You will see a button that says Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renewal. Tap or click it. A confirmation screen will appear asking why you are canceling — this is optional feedback that Apple collects but does not affect your cancellation. Confirm your choice, and the cancellation is complete.

Your subscription remains active through the end of your current billing period. You will receive a confirmation email at the address linked to your Apple ID within a few minutes.

Cancel through iCloud.com on a computer

Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Click your name or profile picture in the top right corner, then select Account Settings. Click Subscriptions in the left sidebar.

Find Apple TV+ and click the edit button (usually a pencil icon or three dots). Select Cancel Subscription and confirm. You will see a confirmation message on screen, and an email will arrive shortly after.

Cancel if you subscribed through Google Play or Samsung TV

If you signed up for Apple TV+ through the Google Play Store on an Android device or through a Samsung TV app, you must cancel through that store, not through Apple's settings. Canceling in Apple's settings will not work because the subscription is managed by Google or Samsung.

On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Find Apple TV+ and tap Cancel subscription. On a Samsung TV, go to the app store on your TV, find your subscriptions, locate Apple TV+, and select the option to cancel.

Cancel if you have an Apple One bundle

If Apple TV+ is part of an Apple One bundle (Individual, Family, or Premier), canceling Apple TV+ alone removes it from your bundle but keeps your other services active. Your iCloud storage, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, or Apple News+ will continue without interruption.

Follow the same steps as above — go to Subscriptions in your Apple ID settings and select Apple TV+. When you tap Cancel Subscription, Apple will show you what services remain in your bundle. Confirm the cancellation, and only Apple TV+ will be removed.

If you want to cancel the entire Apple One bundle instead, select the bundle itself from the Subscriptions list and cancel that. This removes all services at once.

What happens after you cancel

Your Apple TV+ app will remain on your device, but you will see a message asking you to resubscribe when you try to watch. You can delete the app if you prefer, though it is not necessary. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile information stay in your Apple ID for 10 months, so if you resubscribe within that time, your account will look the same as when you left.

You can resubscribe to Apple TV+ at any time through the same Subscriptions menu. There is no waiting period or penalty for canceling and returning.

Turn off auto-renewal instead of canceling

If you want to keep Apple TV+ but pause it after your current period ends, you can turn off auto-renewal instead of canceling. Go to Subscriptions in your Apple ID settings, select Apple TV+, and choose Turn Off Auto-Renewal rather than Cancel Subscription.

Your service will continue through the end of your current billing period, and then stop automatically without charging you again. You will not receive reminder emails or notifications — the subscription straightforward ends. When you are ready to return, you can resubscribe through the same menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my watch history and saved shows if I cancel?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings stay in your Apple ID for 10 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that time, everything will be there. After 10 months, Apple deletes the data.

Can I get a refund for the current billing period?

Apple does not refund the current billing period once it has started. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access until the end of that period, but no money is returned. If you cancel before your next charge date, you will not be charged again.

What if I subscribed through a family member's Apple ID?

If you are part of a Family Sharing group and someone else manages the subscription, that person must cancel it through their own Apple ID settings. You cannot cancel a subscription you do not own, even if you have access to the service.

Do I have to cancel through the same device I used to subscribe?

No. You can cancel on any device — iPhone, iPad, Mac, or computer — as long as you sign in with the same Apple ID you used to subscribe. The cancellation will take effect across all your devices.

What if I cancel by mistake?

You can resubscribe when ready through the Subscriptions menu. There is no penalty or waiting period. If you resubscribe within 10 months, your watch history and saved shows will still be there.
