Apple TV+ launched in 2019, but with the price jumping to $9.99 monthly, keeping it feels pricey. Maybe you finished Ted Lasso and are tired of waiting for Severance Season 2. You can save up to $120 a year by cancelling on iOS, Android web, or desktop. Visit Apple TV. TrustPilot data shows a low 1.6-star average for Apple services, with users flagging "incorrect billing amounts" and "poor customer service" as major headaches. Recent price hikes have sparked serious backlash online. If you are over the confusing interface, here is how to cut the cord.
How to Cancel Apple TV on iPhone (iOS)
Most people do this on their phone because it is the path of least resistance. Apple actually makes this part somewhat easy, surprisingly.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. It is usually on the first page unless you hid it in a folder.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID banner at the very top of the menu. It has your name and profile picture.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see this, you might be on an old iOS version or signed into the wrong account.
4 Choose Apple TV+
Find Apple TV+ in the 'Active' list. Tap it. If it is not there, check your other Apple IDs.
5 Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription in red text. If you see 'Expires on' instead of 'Renews on', you already cancelled it. Good job.
How to Cancel Apple TV on Android (Web)
Since Apple refuses to make a proper Android app for managing your account, you have to use the browser. It feels clunky, but it works.
1 Go to the Website
Open Chrome or Firefox and go to tv.apple.com. There is no dedicated Android app for the subscription management, which is annoying.
2 Sign In
Tap the account icon at the top right and sign in with your Apple ID. You might need to do 2-factor authentication.
3 Access Settings
Tap the account icon again and select Settings from the dropdown menu.
4 Manage Subscriptions
Scroll down to the Subscriptions section and tap Manage.
5 Cancel Subscription
Hit Cancel Subscription. Confirm your choice when the pop-up tries to convince you to stay.
How to Cancel Apple TV on Desktop (Mac or PC)
Doing this on a computer is usually faster if you are already logged in. The web interface can be a bit slow to load, though.
1 Open the TV App or Website
On a Mac, open the TV App. On a PC, go to tv.apple.com.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
On Mac, click Account in the menu bar, then Account Settings. On the web, click your profile icon in the top right.
3 Find Subscriptions
Scroll down to the Settings section where it lists your subscriptions. Click Manage.
4 Edit Apple TV+
Find Apple TV+ in the list and click Edit or just look for the cancel button depending on your OS version.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Click Cancel Subscription. It might ask you to confirm. Just click yes.
What is Apple TV Cancellation Policy
Apple is pretty strict here. You can cancel anytime, but you must do it at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid being charged for the next month. If you are on a paid plan, you usually keep access until the billing cycle ends. However, if you are on a free trial, Apple often cuts your access immediately the second you hit cancel. It is a sneaky tactic to force you to keep auto-renew on until the last minute. Refunds? Forget about it. They generally do not offer refunds for partial months or if you forgot to cancel.
Before You Cancel Apple TV: What You Should Know
Check if you are part of an Apple One bundle. Cancelling just the TV portion might mess up your bundle pricing or be impossible without cancelling the whole thing. Also, if you use Family Sharing, cancelling your subscription kills access for everyone in your family group instantly or at the end of the cycle. Make sure your kids aren't in the middle of a movie.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Apple TV Subscription?
If you followed the steps and still see a bill, something is wrong. It happens more than you think.
- Check Third Parties: Did you sign up via Amazon Prime, Roku, or your cable provider (like T-Mobile or Verizon)? If so, you have to cancel through their portal, not Apple's.
- Wrong Apple ID: You might be signed in with a different email. Check your receipt to see which email is getting billed.
- Parental Controls: Sometimes restrictions on the device block changes to accounts. Turn off Screen Time restrictions temporarily.
- Contact Support: If the button is missing entirely, you might need to contact Apple Support directly. It is a pain, but sometimes necessary.
