How to Cancel Your Apple TV+ Subscription

Although Apple TV+ manages to stand out because of its focus on delivering original content, that also translates to a much smaller streaming library than competing services. It’s easy to go on a binging spree and end up with nothing engaging to watch.

If you’re ready to call it quits on your Apple TV+ subscription or free trial, you can do that easily on any device that lets you manage your Apple ID subscriptions.

Despite canceling Apple TV+, you can continue to use the service until the end of the current subscription period. For example, if you’re halfway through a monthly subscription or trial, you still have a couple of weeks to stream TV shows and movies to your devices.

Note: If you subscribe to Apple One, the only way to cancel Apple TV Plus is to cancel your Apple One subscription. Don’t worry—you get to pick the Apple services—iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, etc.—you want to keep.
