How to Cancel Apple TV+

Apple does not automatically issue refunds when you cancel mid-cycle — access simply continues to the billing period end.

To request a refund for a charge you didn't want, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the Apple TV+ charge, and click Report a Problem → Request a refund. Apple is generally responsive to first-time accidental renewal requests, especially if the refund is submitted within a few days of the charge.

If the request is denied through the website, you can contact Apple Support directly at apple.com/support and explain the situation. For a genuinely accidental charge, a chat or phone agent can often approve a refund that the automated system rejected.

After cancelling, you will retain full access to Apple TV+ until the end of your current billing period. Apple does not cut off access early.

After access ends, your watchlist, ratings, and progress are saved to your Apple ID for up to 90 days. If you resubscribe within that window, you can pick up exactly where you left off.

If you used Apple TV+ via Family Sharing, access ends for all family members when the subscription ends — not just for you.

If cost is the main concern, Apple One Individual at $19.95/mo bundles Apple TV+ with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and 50 GB iCloud+ — often a better deal if you already use one or two of those services separately.

Amazon Prime Video ($14.99/mo, or included with Prime) has a larger overall library. Disney+ ($9.99–$15.99/mo) has a stronger catalog of franchise content (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar). Peacock ($7.99–$16.99/mo) offers live sports and NBC shows.

• Check how you're billed. If you subscribed through a smart TV app (Samsung, LG, Vizio), a Roku channel, or an Amazon Fire TV app, your billing provider is that platform — not Apple directly. You must cancel through that platform's subscription settings, not through Apple.
• Apple One subscribers: cancelling Apple One cancels Apple TV+ and all other bundled services at the same time. If you only want to drop Apple TV+ but keep Apple Music or iCloud+, you'll need to cancel Apple One and re-subscribe to each service you want individually.
• Family Sharing: one Apple TV+ subscription covers up to six family members at no extra cost. Confirm no one else in your family is actively using it before you cancel.
• 7-day free trial: if you are still in a trial, cancelling now stops the charge entirely. You will still have access until the trial ends.
• New device free trial: Apple hardware purchases often include 3 months of Apple TV+ free. This is credited to your account automatically and does not require a separate cancellation — it simply won't renew unless you keep the subscription active.
