Cancel Apple TV Through Amazon Prime Video in Three Steps
If you signed up for Apple TV as an add-on through Amazon Prime Video, you cancel it in the Amazon app or website—not in Apple TV itself. Amazon handles the billing, so that's where the cancellation happens. The process takes about two minutes and stops charges on your next billing date.
Go to your Amazon account, find the Prime Video settings, locate Apple TV+ in your add-on subscriptions, and select the option to cancel. Amazon will ask you to confirm, and that's it. You'll keep access to Apple TV until the end of your current billing cycle, then it stops.
Key Takeaways
- Cancel Apple TV through Amazon's website or mobile app by going to Prime Video settings, not through the Apple TV app itself.
- You will lose access to Apple TV content at the end of your current billing period, not when ready after cancellation.
- If you signed up directly with Apple instead of through Amazon, you must cancel through Apple's account settings, not Amazon.
- Amazon will send a confirmation email after you cancel, which you should keep as proof the subscription ended.
Step-by-Step Cancellation on Amazon's Website
Open a web browser and go to amazon.com. Sign in with the account that has the Apple TV subscription. Click on the account menu (usually your name or profile icon in the top right) and select "Your Account" or "Account Settings."
Look for a section called "Prime Video Settings," "Memberships and Subscriptions," or "Manage Your Prime Video." Click into it. You should see a list of add-on subscriptions—Apple TV+ will be listed there with a price next to it. Click on Apple TV+ and select "Cancel Add-On" or "Cancel Subscription." Amazon will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay. Ignore that and confirm the cancellation.
You'll see a confirmation message on screen, and Amazon will send a confirmation email to the address on your account. Save that email. Your Apple TV access continues until the end of your current billing cycle (usually the same date you were charged last month), then it stops.
Cancelling Through the Amazon Mobile App
Open the Amazon app on your phone or tablet and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right. Tap "Your Account" or "Account Settings." Scroll down and look for "Prime Video Settings" or "Memberships and Subscriptions."
Tap "Manage Add-On Subscriptions" or similar wording. Find Apple TV+ in the list, tap it, and select "Cancel." Confirm when Amazon asks. The same rules explore: you keep access through the end of your billing cycle, then it ends. You'll receive a confirmation email.
What Happens to Your Content After Cancellation
Once your billing cycle ends, you lose access to all Apple TV+ shows and movies. You cannot watch them, read them, or resume where you left off. If you resubscribe later, you start fresh—your watch history and saved shows do not carry over.
Any content you downloaded to your device for offline viewing will also become unwatchable once the subscription ends. If you want to keep watching something, finish it before your access stops.
If You Signed Up Directly With Apple Instead
If you created your Apple TV subscription directly through Apple (not through Amazon), cancelling through Amazon will not work. You must cancel through Apple's own systems. Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, click "Subscriptions," find Apple TV+, and select "Cancel Subscription."
You can also cancel through the Apple TV app itself on any Apple device: go to Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions," find Apple TV+, and tap "Cancel Subscription." The process is the same either way, and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
Confirming the Cancellation Worked
After you cancel, go back to the same page where you cancelled and check that Apple TV+ no longer appears in your add-on subscriptions list. If it still shows up, the cancellation did not go through. Try again or contact Amazon support.
Check your email for the confirmation message Amazon sends. If you do not see one within a few minutes, check your spam folder. Keep this email as proof that you cancelled on a specific date. If Amazon charges you again after the cancellation date, you can show them this email and ask for a refund.
What to Do If You Cannot Find the Cancellation Option
If the steps above do not match what you see on your screen, Amazon may have changed the layout of its settings pages. Try searching within the Amazon app or website for "cancel subscription" or "manage subscriptions." You should land on the right page.
If you still cannot find it, contact Amazon customer service through the app or website. Tell them you want to cancel Apple TV+. They can walk you through it or cancel it for you directly. Amazon support is usually available through chat, phone, or email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose access to Apple TV when ready after I cancel?
No. You keep access through the end of your current billing cycle. If you were charged on the 15th of the month, you can watch until the 15th of next month, then access stops. The exact date depends on when you were last charged.
Can I cancel Apple TV without cancelling my Amazon Prime membership?
Yes. Apple TV+ is an add-on to Prime Video, not part of the base Prime membership. Cancelling Apple TV does not affect Prime Video, Prime shipping, or anything else on your Amazon account. Only Apple TV stops.
What if I want to resubscribe to Apple TV later?
You can resubscribe anytime through the same Amazon Prime Video settings page. Go back to "Add-On Subscriptions," find Apple TV+, and select "Subscribe." You'll be charged starting the next day. Your old watch history will not return, but you can start fresh.
Will Amazon refund me if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. Amazon does not refund partial months. You pay through the end of your billing cycle and then access stops. If Amazon charged you by mistake after you cancelled, contact their support team and ask for a refund.
How do I know which Apple TV subscription I have—Amazon or Apple?
Check your email for billing receipts. If the receipt says "Amazon.com" or "Amazon Prime Video," you subscribed through Amazon. If it says "Apple" or "iTunes," you subscribed directly with Apple. You can also check the payment method: Amazon charges to your Amazon account; Apple charges to your Apple ID payment method.
