Launched in 2019, Apple TV+ hooks viewers with hits like Severance, but the long gaps between seasons might leave you wanting out. With plans ranging from $9.99 to $99 annually, cancelling saves you up to $120 a year. The service runs on iOS, Android web, and smart TVs. Visit TV+. Recent Trustpilot data shows a rough 1.6-star rating, with users citing "login loops" and "phantom charges" among hundreds of complaints. Even the BBB logs issues regarding billing confusion. With recent price hikes making headlines, it is time to cut the cord if you are not watching. Common gripes include poor support and confusing navigation.
How to Cancel TV+ on iPhone (iOS)
This is the easiest method. Honestly, doing it on a desktop is way more annoying.
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 screen. It has your name and profile picture.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. It is usually the fourth option down. If nothing loads, try turning off Wi-Fi and using data.
4 Choose TV+
Find Apple TV+ in the Active list. If it is not there, check the 'Expired' section or a different Apple ID.
5 Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription in red. If you only see 'Renew', you have already cancelled it successfully.
How to Cancel TV+ on Android or Web
Since Apple doesn't make an Android app for account management, you have to use the web browser. It feels clunky, but it works.
1 Go to the Website
Open Chrome or your browser and go to tv.apple.com. There is no dedicated Android app for managing account settings.
2 Sign In
Tap the account icon in the top right. You might need to do a two-factor authentication check.
3 Open 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 Confirm Cancellation
Select Cancel Subscription. The page might lag a bit, so don't rage click.
How to Cancel TV+ on Mac (Desktop)
Using a Mac should be seamless, but burying the cancel button inside the App Store settings is a weird choice.
1 Open App Store
Click the App Store icon in your dock. Do not use the TV app; it just redirects you anyway.
2 Click Your Name
Click your name or sign-in button at the bottom left corner of the window.
3 Account Settings
Click Account Settings or View Information at the top right. You will likely need to enter your password again.
4 Manage Subscriptions
Scroll down to the Manage section and click Manage next to Subscriptions.
5 Edit and Cancel
Find TV+, click Edit, and then hit Cancel Subscription.
What is TV+ Cancellation Policy
Apple is pretty rigid here. You can cancel anytime, and you will usually keep access until the billing cycle ends. However, if you are on a free trial, access often cuts off immediately the moment you cancel. Seriously. We tested this, and the screen went black instantly. They do not offer refunds for partial months, so if you forget to cancel by a day, you are eating that $9.99 charge. No exceptions.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your TV+ Subscription?
Still seeing charges? It happens more than you think.
- Check Apple One: You might be subscribed to the Apple One bundle (iCloud, Music, TV+). You have to cancel the whole bundle to stop TV+.
- Third-Party Billing: Did you get it free with T-Mobile or a new LG TV? You must cancel through their portal, not Apple's.
- Family Sharing: If you are not the organizer, you might not have permission to cancel the shared sub.
- Different Apple ID: Check if you are logged in with an old email address.
