How to cancel Apple Arcade

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Apple Arcade — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Apple Arcade bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Apple Arcade in 4 steps

  1. On iPhone/iPad: Settings → tap your name → 'Subscriptions' → 'Apple Arcade' → 'Cancel Subscription'.
  2. On a Mac: App Store → your name → 'Account Settings' → 'Manage' next to Subscriptions → Apple Arcade → 'Cancel'.
  3. Confirm the cancellation.
  4. Verify Apple Arcade shows as expiring at the end of the period.

What happens after you cancel

You keep Apple Arcade until the end of the current billing period, then it won't renew. If Apple Arcade is part of an Apple One bundle, cancel Apple One instead (which ends all bundled services). No prorated refund.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Apple Arcade is billed through your Apple ID — cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. There's no website checkout.

Charged after cancelling Apple Arcade?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Apple Arcade — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Apple Arcade charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Apple Arcade keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Apple Arcade.
Does cancelling Apple Arcade delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Apple Arcade's settings.
How do I know my Apple Arcade cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Apple Arcade and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
