Before You Cancel Apple TV+

Here are a few important things to consider before cancelling your Apple TV+ subscription:

  • •Family Sharing - If you're using Family Sharing, cancelling your subscription will affect all family members.
  • •Apple One bundle - If you have Apple TV+ as part of an Apple One bundle, you'll need to cancel the entire bundle or switch to a different bundle that doesn't include Apple TV+.
