Tap Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renew, then confirm.
On Mac: Open the App Store > click your name (or sign in) > Account Settings > Subscriptions > Manage > Apple TV+ > Cancel.
On the web: Go to tv.apple.com, sign in, open Account > Settings > Subscriptions > Manage > Cancel.
Check your email for a confirmation and note your end date.
Reopen Subscriptions to verify the status shows Canceled or Expires on [date].
