Before you cancel: Apple TV+ subscriptions are non-refundable once the billing period starts.

First: how are you billed for Apple TV+?

This decides where you cancel, and getting it wrong is the usual reason a cancellation appears impossible. If you subscribed inside an app on your phone, the payment is handled by Apple or Google — and Apple TV+’s own website has no cancel button for you.

Not sure? Check which account the charge appears on. A charge from Apple or Google rather than from Apple TV+ tells you immediately.

Directly with the provider
  1. Go to tv.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Click your name in the top-right corner.
  3. Click "Manage Subscriptions".
  4. Find Apple TV+ and click "Cancel Subscription".
Through the Apple App Store

Apple subscription settingsOn iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions. On a Mac: App Store → your name → Account Settings. The provider’s own website cannot cancel an Apple-billed subscription.

  1. Open iPhone Settings and tap your Apple ID at the top.
  2. Tap "Subscriptions" and select Apple TV+.
  3. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
Through Google Play

Google Play subscriptionsIn the Play Store app: tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Or play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions in a browser.

  1. Apple TV+ cannot be managed via Android. Use the web at tv.apple.com or an Apple device.

The billing routes above are inferred from the platforms Apple TV+ is available on, not confirmed against the provider. If you find a route missing or wrong, tell us — that is the most useful correction you can send.

We do not hold Apple TV+’s official cancellation URL on file. Reach it from inside your account rather than from a search result — cancellation pages attract imitations designed to capture logins.

These steps are compiled from Apple TV+’s published documentation and have not been independently re-walked by us. Providers redesign account pages without notice, so treat the structure as a guide rather than a guarantee.

After you cancel

  • Keep the confirmation email or take a screenshot. It is the only evidence you have.
  • Most subscriptions run until the end of the period you have already paid for — cancelling is usually not the same as an immediate refund.
  • Check your next statement. A cancellation that did not register looks identical to one that did until the charge arrives.

Do not use a bank block or a chargeback as a way to cancel. Blocking a payment does not end a contract: the subscription usually stays active, the amount owed can keep accruing, and the account can end up with a collections agency. If you are charged after a confirmed cancellation, contact the provider in writing first, then your national consumer authority.

Pro Tips Before You Cancel

Still Can't Cancel? Here's What to Do

Contact Apple TV+ Support

Search "Apple TV+ cancel subscription support" for their current support page. Use live chat for the fastest response.

Block via Your Bank or PayPal

A bank block or a chargeback is not a way to cancel. Blocking the payment does not end the contract — the subscription usually stays active and the amount owed can keep building, sometimes ending up with a collections agency. A chargeback is a dispute process for charges you never authorised.

If you have cancelled and are still being charged, the order is: contact the provider in writing and keep the confirmation; if that fails, raise it with the consumer authority for your country (linked from our country pages); and only where the charge is genuinely unauthorised, raise a dispute with your card issuer.

Cancel via PayPal

If you pay via PayPal: Log in → Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments → find Apple TV+ → Cancel.
