I signed up for Apple TV+ thinking I’d use it often. At first, it was fun. I watched a few shows, but over time, I stopped using it. The monthly charge kept appearing, and I knew it was time to cancel. I didn’t want to waste money on something I wasn’t watching.
But figuring out how to cancel wasn’t as easy as I expected. Apple doesn’t make it obvious, and I had to go through different steps depending on the device. If you’re in the same boat, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through the process step by step.
