How to cancel an Apple Arcade, News+,  or other App Store subscription

Today is the first day that Apple is starting to charge for the next month's subscription of Apple Arcade. If you've tried it and it's just not your jam, you can cancel right on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV!

 

If you've been trying out Apple's Arcade or News+ subscription, TV apps, like STARZ or HBO GO, or music subscription services like Pandora Premium, but you want to cancel before you get charged, it's simple to cancel in just a few steps.
