Cancelling Apple News+ is straightforward since it's managed through your Apple ID across all devices. This guide covers cancellation through iPhone, iPad, Mac, and what happens to your saved articles and reading history.
Apple News+ is managed entirely through your Apple ID subscriptions, so cancelling on one device cancels it everywhere. The process is identical whether you use iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.
These steps work on any Apple device since Apple News+ is managed through your Apple ID subscriptions.
On iPhone or iPad, tap Settings. On Mac, open the App Store and click your profile picture in the bottom left.
Tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions. On Mac, click View Information then scroll down to Manage next to Subscriptions.
Look for Apple News+ in your active subscriptions list and tap it to open the subscription details.
Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen. You'll see a confirmation asking if you want to cancel.
Tap Confirm to finalize the cancellation. You'll continue to have access until your current billing period ends.
A few Apple-specific details that might affect your cancellation experience.
These details can help you avoid issues with your Apple News+ cancellation.
If you have Apple One, News+ is included in your bundle. Cancelling Apple One will remove News+ along with other services.
You'll keep full Apple News+ access until your next billing date, even after cancelling. The service doesn't end immediately.
If you're sharing Apple News+ through Family Sharing, cancelling removes access for all family members at the billing period end.
If cost is the main concern, you might want to consider these Apple alternatives before cancelling completely.
Since Apple News+ is managed through Apple ID, these alternative methods all lead to the same Apple subscription management system.
