- 1
Gather your account info
Log in to Apple TV+ (or locate your account email and billing ID) before starting. Save a copy of the email confirming your current plan so you have evidence of the billing terms.
- 2
Open the cancel page
From your account settings, navigate to Subscription or Billing and look for "Cancel" or "Manage plan." On Apple TV+ this option is typically reached via Account → Subscription.
- 3
Verify the cancellation
Check your account dashboard for a "subscription ends on [date]" message. Take a screenshot. If a final confirmation email does not arrive within 24 hours, follow up via the same channel.

Frequently asked questions
Will I get a refund when I cancel Apple TV+?
Apple TV+ does not guarantee a refund, but you keep access through the end of the current billing period. If you were charged after attempting to cancel, dispute the charge with your bank using the confirmation email as evidence.
Can I pause Apple TV+ instead of cancelling?
Apple TV+ does not prominently offer a pause option. The simplest path is a clean cancel — you can always resubscribe later.
What happens to my Apple TV+ renewal?
After you cancel, Apple TV+ stops all future renewals. Your next credit card statement should show no charge from Apple TV+. Verify the first statement after cancelling to confirm.
