Cancelling via Smart TV or Third-Party Apps
If you subscribed through your smart TV, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Google Play, or another provider:
- Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to amazon.co.uk → Account → Memberships & Subscriptions → Cancel Apple TV+

You will not be able to cancel a third-party subscription through Apple's Settings. If you're unsure how you subscribed, check your bank or credit card statement for who is charging you.
What Happens After You Cancel?

- You will not receive a refund for unused days
- Your Apple ID and any content you own (purchased films/TV via Apple TV) are unaffected
- Any Family Sharing members who used Apple TV+ through your account will also lose access when the subscription ends
- If you cancel during a free trial, access ends immediately in most cases
Before You Cancel — Things to Consider
Check if you're in Apple One
If you subscribed via Apple One (Individual, Family, or Premier), cancelling Apple TV+ means cancelling your entire Apple One bundle — including Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+. You may want to switch to individual subscriptions first.
Download anything you want to keep
While Apple TV+ doesn't allow offline downloads of all content, if you've rented or bought movies or TV shows separately in the Apple TV app, make sure you've downloaded them. Note: Apple TV+ originals can only be streamed while you have an active subscription.
Taking a break instead?
Apple doesn't currently offer a pause option for Apple TV+ subscriptions. You can cancel and resubscribe — your watch history and favourites will be saved to your Apple ID.
Watch that free trial end date
If you activated a free trial with a new device purchase (Apple sometimes offers 3 months free), note the exact trial end date — Apple will charge you automatically when it expires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund when I cancel Apple TV+?
Generally, no. Apple's policy is that subscriptions are non-refundable. However, you can contact Apple Support if you believe you were charged in error.
Will I lose my watch history if I cancel?
No. Your watch history, favourites, and Up Next list are tied to your Apple ID and will be restored if you resubscribe.
How do I cancel Apple TV+ if I got it free with a new device?
The same cancellation process applies — go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If your free trial is still active, you can cancel before it ends to avoid being charged.
Can I cancel mid-month and get a partial refund?
No. You'll retain access until the billing period ends, but Apple does not issue prorated refunds for cancellations.
I cancelled but I'm still being charged. What should I do?
First, check whether you subscribed via a third-party provider (Amazon, Google, your TV manufacturer) rather than directly through Apple. If you subscribed directly through Apple, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
Can I cancel Apple TV+ from Windows?
Yes — use the web method above at appleid.apple.com from any browser.
What's the difference between cancelling Apple TV+ and cancelling Apple One?
Apple TV+ is included in all Apple One plans. You can't cancel Apple TV+ without cancelling your entire Apple One bundle. If you want to keep Apple Music but not Apple TV+, you'd need to cancel Apple One and resubscribe to Apple Music separately.
