How to unsubscribe from Apple TV on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

To cancel Apple TV on an Apple device, open the Settings app (or System Settings on Mac), tap or click your name at the top, then select Subscriptions. Find Apple TV+ in the list, tap or click it, and choose Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle — you will not be charged again, but you can keep watching until that date arrives.

If you subscribed through the Apple TV app itself rather than through Settings, the process is the same: go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Apple TV+ > Cancel Subscription. Apple does not charge you when ready upon cancellation; the subscription straightforward stops renewing.

On a Mac running Monterey or later, the steps are identical. Open System Settings, click your name in the sidebar, select Subscriptions, find Apple TV+, and click Manage. Then click Cancel Subscription and confirm.

How to unsubscribe on an Android phone or tablet

Android users must cancel through Google Play, not through the Apple TV app itself. Open Google Play, tap your profile icon in the top right, select Manage subscriptions, find Apple TV+, and tap Cancel subscription. Choose your reason for canceling (optional) and confirm. Like on Apple devices, your subscription ends at the end of the current billing period.

If you originally signed up using a different method — such as directly on apple.com — you may need to cancel there instead. Check your email receipt to see where the charge appears each month; that is where you cancel.

How to unsubscribe on a web browser

Visit apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, and click your name or profile picture in the top right. Select Account Settings, then Subscriptions. Click Manage next to Apple TV+, then select Cancel Subscription. Confirm when prompted. This method works on any device with a web browser, including Windows computers and Chromebooks.

This is often the fastest route if you are having trouble finding the subscription in your device settings, or if you subscribed on a device you no longer own.

How to unsubscribe if you signed up through a third party

If you subscribed to Apple TV+ through a carrier (such as Verizon or T-Mobile), a cable provider, or another service bundled with Apple TV+, you must cancel through that provider, not through Apple. Contact their customer service directly or log into their account portal to manage your subscription.

The same applies if you signed up through a family member's account or a shared family plan. The account holder must go to Settings > [Their Name] > Subscriptions > Apple TV+ to remove you from the subscription or cancel it entirely.

What happens after you cancel

Once you cancel, you can continue watching Apple TV+ until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your account loses access and you will see a prompt to resubscribe when you open the app. You will not be charged again.

If you cancel mid-month, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion. Apple TV+ does not prorate charges, so the cancellation takes effect only at the next renewal date.

How to resubscribe if you change your mind

You can resubscribe at any time by opening the Apple TV app or visiting apple.com, signing in, and selecting Subscribe. You will be charged starting the day you resubscribe. If you cancelled recently, Apple sometimes offers a promotional rate to returning subscribers, though this is not may provide.

Resubscribing does not restore your watch history or saved shows — those remain tied to your account even after cancellation, so they will reappear when you sign back in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Apple TV+ does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you can watch until that date arrives.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Apple TV+ does not offer a pause feature. You must either keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you plan to return later, you can resubscribe at any time.

What if I subscribed through a family member's account?

The account holder must remove you from the subscription or cancel it entirely through their own Settings > Subscriptions > Apple TV+. You cannot cancel a subscription you do not own.

Do I lose my watch history when I cancel?

Your watch history and saved shows remain on your account even after cancellation. If you resubscribe later, they will still be there.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

After you confirm cancellation, you should see a message confirming it. You can also check by returning to Settings > Subscriptions > Apple TV+ — if the Cancel Subscription button is gone, your subscription has been canceled.
