## Cancel in a web browser

> Use tv.apple.com when the Apple subscription is managed on the web.

1. **Open Apple TV on the web** Open tv.apple.com, select Sign In if shown and open the account icon.
2. **Open Subscriptions** Select Settings, scroll to Subscriptions and select Manage.
3. **Select Cancel Subscription** Confirm the cancellation and note the expiration date shown in subscription management.

## Cancel on iPhone / iPad

> Apple subscriptions can be managed directly in iPhone or iPad Settings.

1. **Open Apple Subscriptions** Open iPhone or iPad Settings, tap your name and tap Subscriptions.
2. **Select Apple TV** Choose Apple TV from the subscriptions associated with the paying Apple Account.
3. **Tap Cancel Subscription** Confirm cancellation. If no Cancel button appears or a red expiration message is shown, the subscription is already canceled.

## Cancel on Android

> Use Google Play only when it is the listed billing provider. Amazon-billed subscriptions must be managed with Amazon.

1. **Open the billing provider** If Google Play bills Apple TV, open subscriptions in Google Play with the paying Google Account. Apple directs Amazon-billed customers to Amazon instead.
2. **Manage Apple TV** Select Manage for Apple TV and choose Cancel subscription.
3. **Confirm the cancellation** Choose a reason, select Continue and complete the Google Play confirmation.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Apple provides a refund-request flow at reportaproblem.apple.com, but eligibility varies and no automatic Apple TV refund right is documented.
- **Pausing:** No Apple TV subscription pause option is documented.
- **Downgrading:** No lower standalone Apple TV tier is documented. Apple One and bundled offers are separate subscriptions, not Apple TV downgrades.
- **Account data:** Canceling Apple TV does not delete the Apple Account. Full Apple Account deletion is separate and affects other Apple services. Apple says purchase and subscription records are retained for legally required financial-reporting periods, usually at least ten years for most customers.
