Apple TV+ launched back in 2019, dropping shows like The Morning Show and becoming a real player in the streaming game. Maybe you signed up to see what all the fuss was about with Ted Lasso or got totally hooked on the mind-bending plot of Severance. It happens. But now the bill is hitting your account every month. For a service that costs $9.99 a month, you can save up to $119.88 a year by cancelling. This guide covers how to cancel on iOS, Android, and your desktop, so you can stop the charges without the headache.
How to Cancel TV+ on iPhone (iOS)
Canceling on an iPhone is always done through your Apple ID subscriptions, not the TV app itself. It's a bit buried, but straightforward once you know where to look.
1 Open the Settings App
First, find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen. It's the central hub for all your device and account management.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
At the very top of the Settings screen, tap on your name and profile picture. This takes you into your personal Apple ID, iCloud, and media settings.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions tied to your account. It can be a surprisingly long list.
4 Find and Select TV+
Scroll through the list until you find your TV+ subscription and tap on it. This will open the details page for that specific service.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
At the bottom of the page, you'll see a red Cancel Subscription button. Tap it, and then confirm your choice. Honestly, I had to tap it twice before it actually registered. Maybe just a glitch, but be persistent.
How to Cancel TV+ on Android
If you subscribed to TV+ on an Android device, your billing is handled through the Google Play Store. The process starts in the TV app but finishes in the Play Store.
1 Open the TV App
Unlike on iOS, you'll start in the TV app on your Android device. Find the app icon and open it.
2 Go to Your Account
Tap on your profile icon or the 'Account' tab, which is usually located at the top or bottom of the screen.
3 Manage Subscription
Look for an option that says Manage Subscription. Tapping this should redirect you to the Google Play Store's subscription management page for the TV+ service.
4 Cancel in Google Play
Once in the Google Play Store, you should see the TV+ subscription details. Tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the cancellation.
How to Cancel TV+ on Desktop or Laptop
Using a desktop browser is often the most reliable method. It avoids any potential app glitches and gives you a clear view of your account settings.
1 Go to the TV+ Website
Open your web browser and navigate to tv.apple.com. This is the most direct way to manage your account on a computer.
2 Sign In to Your Account
Click the Sign In button, usually at the top-right corner, and enter the Apple ID and password associated with your TV+ subscription.
3 Access Account Settings
Once signed in, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner. A dropdown menu will appear. Select Settings from this menu.
4 Find and Manage Subscriptions
Scroll down the Settings page until you see the Subscriptions section. Click the Manage link next to it.
5 Cancel the Subscription
You'll see your active TV+ subscription. Click Edit, and then find and click the Cancel Subscription button. You will be asked to confirm your decision.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
You'll keep access to TV+ until the end of your current billing period. So if you cancel a week before it renews, you still get that week. Apple doesn't offer prorated refunds, so don't expect any money back for unused time. Your viewing history and preferences should remain tied to your Apple ID if you decide to resubscribe later. One key thing to remember: if you're on a free trial from a new device purchase, canceling will end your access immediately, not at the end of the trial period.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your TV+ Subscription?
Can't find the cancel button? It happens more than you'd think. Here are a few things to check:
- Third-Party Billing: Did you get TV+ through a carrier like T-Mobile or as part of a bundle like with a PlayStation? You might need to cancel it through their website, not Apple's.
- Try a Different Device: If the mobile app is acting up, try canceling from a desktop computer. As of early 2025, users still report the web interface is more reliable.
- Check Your Login: Make sure you're signed into the correct Apple ID. It's a simple mistake, but a common one, especially if you have multiple accounts for work and personal use.
- Contact Apple Support: If all else fails, contacting Apple Support directly is your best bet. They can manually cancel it for you, though it might take a bit of waiting in a chat queue.
