How to cancel Apple TV+ (now called Apple TV)

Updated: October 10, 2026 · Last verified: October 10, 2026

Short answer

Apple renamed Apple TV+ to Apple TV in October 2025; the subscription and how you cancel it are the same. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, tap Apple TV and tap Cancel Subscription. If you're on the free offer that came with a new Apple device, canceling ends your access immediately, so set a reminder for the day before it renews instead.

Apple TV+ or Apple TV?

They're the same streaming service. Apple announced in October 2025 that “Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV,” and its support pages now say the same. Older receipts and articles still use the old name; this guide uses Apple TV.

It's a different thing from the Apple TV 4K box and from the Apple TV app, which also shows channels and purchases from other companies. Canceling the subscription doesn't affect either.

Cancel Apple TV on iPhone

Open Settings and tap your name. In Settings, tap your name at the top.
Tap Subscriptions. Tap Subscriptions to see what Apple bills you for.
Tap Apple TV. Tap the Apple TV subscription. If you have Apple One, tap that instead.
Tap Cancel Subscription. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You might need to scroll down to find the button.

If there's no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red text, Apple says the subscription is already canceled.

Cancel on the web

No iPhone to hand? Apple's steps for a browser:

Go to tv.apple.com.
Choose Sign In at the top of the page and sign in with your Apple Account.
Choose the account icon, then Settings.
Scroll to Subscriptions and choose Manage.
Choose Cancel Subscription.

When Apple TV isn't in your Subscriptions list

It's part of Apple One. Apple TV is included in Apple One, so look for Apple One in the list instead. When you cancel Apple One you can choose individual services to keep, and you're billed separately for those.
Amazon bills you. Apple says that if you pay for Apple TV through Amazon, you can cancel only through Amazon.
A carrier or other provider bills you. Contact them.
A family member subscribed. You can't cancel a family member's subscription; the person whose Apple Account is on the receipt has to do it.
A different Apple Account. Search your email for “receipt from Apple” to see which account was used, then sign in with that one.

Free trials: cancel carefully

There are two kinds of Apple TV trial, and one of them punishes canceling early.

The free offer with a new device. Apple's terms for the offer that comes with a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac say that if you cancel during the free period, you and your family members immediately lose access to Apple TV and the rest of the trial, and it can't be reactivated. The same terms say you can cancel in Settings at least one day before each renewal date.
The standard trial. Apple advertises a 7-day free trial for new subscribers that renews automatically. Apple's general advice for any trial is to cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.

So for a device offer, don't cancel on day one. Note the renewal date shown in Settings › Subscriptions and cancel a day or two before it.

After you cancel, and refunds

A paid plan shows an expiration date in your subscriptions list once it's canceled. Apple One spells out the rule for its own plan: you have access until the end of the billing cycle you paid for.
Refunds come from Apple, not from an app developer. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com; see how to request an Apple subscription refund.
Resubscribing is done from the same Subscriptions screen or in the Apple TV app.

Remember the renewal date without canceling early

The device offer is the awkward case: cancel too early and you lose months of free streaming, too late and you're charged. In Subs, add Apple TV as a free trial with its end date and you get a reminder before it converts, showing what it will cost afterwards. When you're ready, the cancel card opens Apple's subscriptions list directly.
