Apple Fitness+ is a fantastic fitness platform offering a wide range of workout types and personalized metrics. However, life changes, budgets shift, and sometimes you need to cancel a subscription. This comprehensive guide will walk you through precisely how to cancel your Apple Fitness+ subscription, regardless of your device.
Where to Cancel Apple Fitness+
The location for canceling your Apple Fitness+ subscription depends on how you initially subscribed:
- Directly through your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV: This is the most common method and usually the easiest. You’ll manage your subscription within the settings of your device.
- Through the App Store on a computer: If you subscribed using a computer, you'll cancel the subscription through your account settings on the App Store website.
- As part of a bundled Apple One subscription: Cancelling Fitness+ when part of Apple One will require canceling the entire Apple One bundle and possibly resubscribing without Fitness+.
Let's delve into each method in detail.
Cancelling Apple Fitness+ on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV:
This is the most straightforward method. The exact steps might vary slightly depending on your device's operating system version, but the general process remains consistent:
- Open the Settings App: Locate the Settings app on your device (it's usually a gray icon with gears).
- Navigate to Subscriptions: This may be directly under Settings or within a section like "Your Name" or "Accounts." The exact location varies slightly across devices.
- Find Apple Fitness+: Select "Subscriptions" and locate "Apple Fitness+" in the list.
- Tap on Apple Fitness+: Once you've found it, tap on the Apple Fitness+ subscription.
- Cancel Subscription: You'll see an option to cancel the subscription. Tap on it. The system might prompt you to confirm your decision.
- Confirm Cancellation: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the cancellation process.
Important Note: Your Apple Fitness+ subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. You will still have access to the service until then.
Cancelling Apple Fitness+ via the App Store Website:
If you subscribed via a computer, follow these steps:
- Go to the App Store Website: Access the website on your computer using any browser.
- Sign In to Your Apple ID: Make sure you're signed in with the Apple ID used for your Fitness+ subscription.
- Access Your Account: Click on your Apple ID (usually found in the top-right corner) and select "Account."
- Manage Subscriptions: Within your Account, locate the "Manage Subscriptions" section.
- Find Apple Fitness+: Find your Apple Fitness+ subscription and click on it.
- Cancel Subscription: Click the "Edit" button (or a similar prompt) to cancel your subscription. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
Cancelling Fitness+ within Apple One:
If Fitness+ is included as part of your Apple One subscription, canceling Fitness+ individually isn't possible. You'll need to cancel the entire Apple One plan and then choose a new plan that doesn't include Fitness+ if you wish to continue with Apple One services without Fitness+. Follow the steps above for managing subscriptions (either on your device or the App Store website) to cancel your Apple One plan.
What Happens After I Cancel?
After canceling, you'll retain access to Apple Fitness+ until the end of your current billing cycle. After that, access will be terminated. You will not be charged again unless you resubscribe.
Troubleshooting Cancellation Issues:
If you encounter problems canceling, consider these steps:
- Check your billing information: Ensure your payment method is up-to-date and valid.
- Contact Apple Support: If you still face difficulties, reach out to Apple Support for assistance.
This guide should help you cancel your Apple Fitness+ subscription smoothly. Remember to act before your next billing cycle to avoid unnecessary charges.
