It keeps happening. HBO Max just raised prices again , around 16 months after the last price increase . If your debit card is feeling the pain, or if you're just not excited about that weird Harry Potter remake nobody asked for, you may decide to take a break from the perpetually renamed platform . Here's everything you need to know about canceling your HBO Max subscription, so you can streamline those entertainment options .
How to cancel via web
The simplest way to end your HBO Max subscription is if you're being billed directly by the company. You can follow these steps in a web or mobile browser to say goodbye to the house that Tony Soprano built.
Go to max.com/subscription in a web browser. Sign in to your account. Click on your profile picture. Select Subscription. Click Cancel Your Subscription. This should be at the bottom of the page. Follow the prompts to confirm.
That was pretty dang easy, but things get a bit more complicated if you originally subscribed via a third-party platform.
How to cancel via third-party provider
Like most modern streaming platforms, HBO Max has partnerships with third-party providers like Apple and Amazon. This lets users sign up for the service through a totally different platform, like Prime Video or directly through iOS. Cancelling has to also go through this third party. The basic idea here is to sign into that account and find a place to manage billing and subscriptions, looking for HBO Max. Here are specific steps for some of the more common providers.
Cancel via Apple
Go to the Settings app on your iOS device. Tap on your name at the top of the screen. Tap Subscriptions. Select HBO Max to manage and make changes.
Cancel via Amazon
