How to cancel Apple TV+

Apple TV+ is the easy case: it’s always billed by Apple, so the cancel button is always in the same place, on every device signed into your Apple account.

Cancelling Apple TV+

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone and tap your name.
  2. Tap Subscriptions, then Apple TV+.
  3. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

You keep streaming until the end of the current billing period. The same screen works for every other Apple-billed subscription, which is why it’s worth knowing your way around it in general.

If you don’t see Apple TV+ in the list

You’re probably paying for it through Apple One, the bundle that wraps TV+, Music, iCloud+ and more into one charge. In that case TV+ has no separate line to cancel:

  • To drop the whole bundle, cancel Apple One in the same Subscriptions screen.
  • To keep some services, cancel Apple One and re-subscribe individually to the ones you want, or switch bundle tiers.

Before dropping Apple One entirely, check your iCloud storage: if the bundle was supplying your storage plan, cancelling can leave you over quota, and Apple will start nagging immediately.

Worth knowing

Apple TV+ is a strong candidate for the subscribe-binge-cancel cycle: cancel when the show you came for ends, re-subscribe when the next season lands. Nothing about your account is lost in between, and a renewal reminder makes the cycle deliberate instead of accidental.
