Max-specific things to know

Keep these details in mind when cancelling Max.

HBO through cable is different
If you have HBO through your cable or satellite provider, that's a separate subscription. Cancelling Max won't affect your cable HBO, and vice versa.
Profiles and watchlist stay saved
Your profiles, watchlist, and viewing history remain saved. If you resubscribe, your preferences will be restored.
Downloaded content expires

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

Review these points before ending your Max subscription.

1. Check your billing source

Look at your bank statement to see who's charging you. If it's Apple, Google, or a cable company, you'll need to cancel through them.

2. Access continues until period ends

When you cancel, you keep full access until your billing cycle ends. Max doesn't offer prorated refunds for early cancellation.

3. HBO cable subscription is separate

If you also have HBO through cable, that's a separate subscription managed by your cable provider.
