Apple makes it incredibly easy to subscribe to Apple TV+ — especially when it's bundled with a new device purchase. But when that free trial is coming to an end, finding the cancellation button can be slightly confusing because it lives inside your overarching Apple ID settings, not just inside the TV app itself.

Here is exactly how to cancel Apple TV+ before you are billed, whether you are on an iPhone, a Mac, or a web browser.

Method 1: Cancel Apple TV+ on iPhone or iPad

This is the fastest method and the one most users should follow.

1

Open your iPhone Settings app

Tap the gear icon on your home screen to open Settings.

2

Tap your Name / Apple ID

At the very top of the Settings menu, tap the banner that has your name and profile picture.

3

Tap "Subscriptions"

This opens a list of every active and expired subscription tied to your Apple ID.

4

Find Apple TV+ and Cancel

Tap Apple TV+ in your Active list. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the red Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial) button.

⚠️ Warning for Free Trials: If you cancel early during a free trial, Apple may revoke your access to the service immediately rather than letting you finish out the trial month. We recommend canceling 24 hours before the renewal date.

Method 2: Cancel on a Mac

  1. Open the App Store application on your Mac.
  2. Click your name or the sign-in button at the very bottom left of the sidebar.
  3. Click Account Settings at the top of the window.
  4. Scroll down to the "Manage" section and click the Manage button next to Subscriptions.
  5. Find Apple TV+ and click Edit.
  6. Click Cancel Subscription.

Method 3: Cancel via Web Browser (For Android / Windows PCs)

If you don't have an Apple device handy, you can still cancel your subscription directly through the web.

  1. Open any web browser and navigate to tv.apple.com.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID at the top right.
  3. Click your Account Icon in the top right corner and select Settings from the drop-down menu.
  4. Scroll down the page until you see the Subscriptions section.
  5. Click Manage next to your subscription and select Cancel Subscription.

Cancel Apple TV+ Through Roku or Amazon Prime

Apple TV+ functions as an add-on "channel" within other streaming ecosystems like Amazon Prime Video or Roku. If you signed up through one of these third parties, you cannot cancel through Apple. Your billing is handled by Amazon or Roku.

  • Amazon Prime: Go to Amazon.com > Account & Lists > Memberships & Subscriptions > Prime Video Channels. Find Apple TV+ and cancel.
  • Roku: Press the Home button on your Roku remote. Highlight the Apple TV+ app, press the Star (*) button, and select Manage subscription > Cancel.

Never get charged for a forgotten trial

Trackery will send you a push notification 3 days before your Apple TV+ free trial expires, giving you plenty of time to cancel without paying a dime.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I cancel Apple TV+ do I lose it immediately?

If you are paying the monthly fee, you will keep access to Apple TV+ until your next billing date. However, if you are utilizing a free trial (like the 3-month trial that comes with a new iPhone), Apple may revoke your viewing access immediately upon cancellation.

Why isn't Apple TV+ showing up in my subscriptions?

If it's not listed under your Apple ID subscriptions, it means you either subscribed using a different Apple ID email address, or you subscribed through a third party like Amazon, Roku, or your mobile carrier (e.g. T-Mobile's "Netflix & Apple TV+" bundle).
