What happens after cancellation

  • Watch progress and watchlist are preserved if you resubscribe later.

  • Downloaded shows on devices become unavailable at billing period end.

  • If you have Apple One, cancelling Apple TV+ specifically means downgrading the bundle — see Apple One guide.

  • Library of free content (Friday Night Baseball trailers, some shorts) stays accessible.

Will I lose my data, playlists, or history?

Apple retains your watch history, progress, and ratings tied to your Apple ID indefinitely. Apple TV+ data lives in the broader Apple ecosystem; cancelling the service doesn't affect your Apple ID or other Apple subscriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1If I have Apple One, do I cancel Apple TV+ separately?

No. Apple TV+ inside Apple One is bundled — you can't cancel just the TV+ portion without downgrading or cancelling the whole bundle. To save money, switch from Apple One Premier ($37.95/mo) to Individual ($19.95/mo) which drops some services.

Q2Will I lose progress on Apple TV+ shows when I cancel?

No. Your watch history, progress, and watchlist persist tied to your Apple ID. If you resubscribe in 6 months, you pick up where you left off. Downloads on devices stop being playable, but progress is server-side.

Q3Can I get a refund on Apple TV+?

Apple offers refunds via reportaproblem.apple.com on a case-by-case basis. For Apple TV+ subscriptions, refunds within 90 days of purchase are sometimes granted — especially if you cancel within days of a free trial converting.

Q4I had a free year of Apple TV+ from buying an Apple device — when does it expire?

Apple device promotional trials last 3 months (devices purchased after 2022). Check your subscription details at tv.apple.com — your expiration date is shown there. Turn off auto-renewal before the date if you don't want to be charged $9.99/month after.
