How to Cancel Apple TV+ — iPhone, iPad, Mac & Web (2026)
How to cancel Apple TV+ subscription on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or web browser. Covers Apple One bundle, family sharing impact, and refund policy. Updated 2026.
Important: Apple TV (the physical device / HDMI box) and Apple TV+ (the streaming subscription service) are two different products. This guide is about cancelling the Apple TV+ streaming subscription — not anything to do with the hardware device.
To cancel Apple TV+, go to your iPhone Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → Apple TV+ → Cancel Subscription. On Mac: open App Store → click your name → Account Settings → Subscriptions → Manage → Cancel. On the web: go to tv.apple.com → Settings → Subscriptions. If you're on Apple One, you cannot cancel Apple TV+ alone — you'd need to cancel the full bundle.

You can also cancel by texting or calling Apple Support. Visit support.apple.com for your region's contact number.
Apple One Bundle — Important Note
If you subscribe to Apple One (which bundles Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud+, and more), you cannot cancel Apple TV+ separately. You must cancel the entire Apple One bundle, then resubscribe to the individual services you want to keep. Before cancelling Apple One, check if the individual subscriptions would cost more than the bundle — they usually do.
What Happens After You Cancel Apple TV+?
- Paid subscribers keep access until the end of the current billing period
- Free trial users lose access immediately upon cancellation
- Downloaded content becomes unavailable after your subscription ends
- Your watchlist, watch history, and preferences are saved if you resubscribe
- Any Apple TV+ channels you subscribe to (like Paramount+) are cancelled separately
Apple TV+ Refund Policy
Apple may offer a refund if you request one within 14 days of being charged and haven't used the service extensively. To request a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the Apple TV+ charge, and select 'Request a Refund'. Refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Common Issues When Cancelling Apple TV+
The most common issue is not finding the subscription. If Apple TV+ doesn't appear in your Subscriptions list, it may be billed through a different Apple ID. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used to subscribe. If you received Apple TV+ free with a new Apple device, it might appear promotional subscription that expires automatically.
Apple TV+ Alternatives
If you're leaving Apple TV+ for more content variety, consider: Netflix (widest library), Max — formerly HBO Max (premium dramas and films), Hulu (current TV episodes plus originals), or Disney+ (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar). Many offer free trials so you can evaluate before committing.

What is Apple TV vs Apple TV+? Are they the same thing?
No. Apple TV is a physical device — a small box you connect to your TV via HDMI that runs tvOS. Apple TV+ is a streaming subscription service (like Netflix) that costs $12.99/month. You can watch Apple TV+ without owning an Apple TV device. This guide covers cancelling the Apple TV+ streaming subscription.
Can I cancel Apple TV+ on my Samsung or LG smart TV?
Yes, if you subscribed through your TV's app store. Go to your TV's subscription management settings, find Apple TV+, and cancel there. If you originally subscribed through Apple (iPhone, Mac, or tv.apple.com), cancel via iPhone Settings → Subscriptions or at tv.apple.com → Settings, not through your TV.
