GENIUS TIP

Subscriptions to TV

channels (and other

services paid for through

your Apple ID) can be

cancelled in your profile

settings, under Manage

Subscriptions.

GENIUS TIP

Third–party TV apps can

be linked to Apple’s, so

you can manage your

viewing in one place.

Tap the profile icon (top

right in Watch Now) >

Connected Apps. When

you disconnect an app

here, you can tell Apple

to delete its knowledge of

what you’ve played from

that provider.

Subscribe to
a channel
In Watch Now, under “Subscribe to Apple
TV Channels”, tap a channel to see what it
offers and start a trial. Only one person in
a Family Sharing group (bit.ly/mffamshr)
needs to subscribe for everyone to view it.
