How to unsubscribe from Disney+ (without making a mistake)

Unsubscribing from Disney+ can be very quick... provided you cancel in the right place.
The rule is simple: you must cancel your subscription via the same "billing channel" that you used when you signed up (Disney+, Apple, Google, Canal+, operator, etc.).

In this guide, you will see:

• How to cancel Disney+ if you subscribed on the website
• How to cancel if you pay via iPhone/iPad (App Store) or Android (Google Play)
• What to do if Disney+ is included via Canal+ or an operator (Free, Orange, etc.)
• and how to avoid common mistakes (cancellations not taken into account, double billing, etc.).

1) Before canceling: check how you pay for Disney+

This step prevents 90% of problems.

The 4 most common cases

1. Subscription purchased directly on DisneyPlus.com (payment by card/PayPal)
2. Subscription via Apple (App Store / Apple Subscriptions)
3. Subscription via Google (Google Play / Subscriptions)
4. Subscription via a partner (Canal+, Free, Orange, mobile operator, etc.)

If you don't know, take a look:

• On iPhone/iPad: Settings > your name > Subscriptions (if Disney+ appears, you are billed by Apple).
• On Android: Google Play > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions.
• Otherwise: log in to your Disney+ account and go to the account/subscription section (if you see an active plan managed by Disney, you can cancel it from there).

2) Cancel Disney+ if you subscribed on the DisneyPlus.com website.

This is the simplest case: everything is done from your account.

Steps (on computer or mobile device)

1. Sign in to Disney+ on a browser.
2. Open your profile, then go to Account.
3. In the Subscription section, select your Disney+ plan.
4. Click on Cancel Subscription and confirm.

✅ Good to know: Disney+ may ask you for a reason and offer an optional questionnaire before final confirmation.

What happens after cancellation?

• You generally retain access until the end of the current billing period (monthly or yearly), after which renewal stops.
• Keep the email or confirmation page (useful in case of dispute).

3) Cancel Disney+ on iPhone/iPad (subscription via App Store)

If you subscribed from an Apple device, you cannot cancel your subscription through Disney+, but must do so through Apple.

Steps (iPhone/iPad)

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Select Disney+.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription.

On Mac, cancellation is usually done through the App Store > account > subscription management.

4) Cancel Disney+ on Android (subscription via Google Play)

Same logic: if Google manages the payment, the cancellation is done via Google Play.

Steps (Android)

1. Open Google Play.
2. Go to Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions.
3. Select Disney+.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the instructions.

⚠️ Important: Uninstalling the Disney+ app does not cancel your subscription.

5) Unsubscribe if Disney+ is included via Canal+ or an operator (Free, Orange, etc.).

In this case, it all depends on the partner: you must cancel with the partner, not on Disney+.

Canal+ case (points to note)

• If Disney+ was included in a Canal+ package: the termination of rights can be managed automatically depending on the package and the period concerned, and there may be no need to cancel anything on the Disney+ side.
• More broadly, if your access is via Canal+ (option, package, inclusion), management is done via the Canal+ customer area.

Free case (example of operator logic)

Free explains that depending on how Disney+ is included/billed, the offer may:

• stop at the termination of the Freebox,
• or be retained by adding a payment method on the Disney+ side.

👉 Conclusion: if you pay for Disney+ through a provider (ISP/operator), go through your customer account or the provider's support service.

6) Common mistakes when trying to cancel Disney+

“I can't find the button to unsubscribe.”

Very often:

• The subscription is managed by Apple/Google.
• or by an operator (Canal+, Free, Orange, etc.).

“I canceled, but Disney+ still works.”

This is normal: access generally remains active until the end of the period already paid for.

“I was charged after cancellation.”

If this happens:

• Verify that the cancellation has been made on the correct billing channel.
• Find the confirmation email/screen,
• and contact the support team for the relevant channel (Apple, Google, or operator).

7) Deleting your Disney+ account: this is not the same as canceling your subscription.

Cancel = stop renewal.
Delete account = delete the account (and certain data), and this option may be unavailable while a subscription is still active.

If your goal is simply to stop paying, cancellation is sufficient.

8) Alternative if you are canceling primarily to save money

Many Disney+ cancellations are not due to a lack of interest... but to skyrocketing subscription costs (Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, music, tools, etc.).
Before cutting off a service you use, a simple option is to reduce the cost by legally sharing a subscription when the plan allows it.

That's exactly how Spliiit works: instead of managing reimbursements "by hand," you can split the cost of a subscription between several people via a platform that handles the connections and payments.

FAQ – Unsubscribing from Disney+

Can you cancel Disney+ from within the app?

Often not: if you pay via DisneyPlus.com, cancellation is usually done on the website (account > subscription). If you pay via Apple/Google, it is done in Apple/Google subscriptions, not in the Disney+ app.

Will I get a refund if I cancel during the month?

In general, access continues until the end of the paid period and renewal stops, but refund conditions depend on the channel (Disney, Apple, Google, partner).

I have a subscription via Canal+/Free/Orange: what should I do?

You must manage the cancellation through the partner (customer account or support). Disney+ cannot always cancel on your behalf if the payment is not with them.

Key points to remember

• Canceling Disney+ depends on who bills you: Disney, Apple, Google, or a partner.
• After termination, access often remains active until the end of the period already paid for.
• If the goal is to save money without losing Disney+, it may be more beneficial to optimize your subscription budget through co-subscription (e.g., Spliiit) rather than cutting everything off.
