Cancelling Max Subscription from a Third-Party

If you started getting your Max subscription through a third-party platform like Roku, Amazon, Apple, or Google Play, you must manage and cancel it through that platform.

You cannot cancel your subscription through the Max website or app if you signed up via one of their third-party partners. Doing so will simply cancel your access to Max, but your third-party subscription will still be active and continue to be billed.

To fully cancel your Max membership, go directly through the platform you used to subscribe – whether it be Roku, Amazon Prime, Apple iOS, or Google Play.

The cancellation procedure can be accessed via the subscription or account management settings.

Canceling through a third-party provider will immediately stop billing and prevent your subscription from renewing in the following cycle.

Only cancel through the original source to avoid any issues!

Why Do Companies Like Apple and Google Make You Cancel Through Them?

When you sign up for a service like Max through Apple or Google, the company wants to keep control of the customer relationship and subscription revenue.

It also enables them to make your life easier by centralizing all of your subscriptions, including those to third-party apps and services.

Sure, you’ll have to make a few more clicks to cancel something, but the convenience usually outweighs the inconvenience.

Not to mention the substantial commission fees Apple and Google receive from subscriptions sold through their respective stores. They’re not going to let you get away with not paying those!

What Happens After You Cancel Your Max Account

Canceling your Max subscription is not the same as turning off a light switch. It’s more like gradually dimming the lights.

You will have access until the end of the billing period in which you cancel.

But don’t worry; you can keep watching downloaded episodes on your devices until they are deleted.

Without an active subscription, you’ll be cut off from any new episodes or original shows. All of your shared devices connected to Max will be logged out.

Max’s internal records will eventually be cleared of your viewing history, favorites list, and other personal account information.

If you get bored with your subscription and want to restart it, you must sign up as a new customer. At the very least, you managed to save some money in the meantime!

How to Permanently Delete Your Max Account

To delete your Max account permanently, first, cancel your subscription.

Then contact Max customer support and request account deletion.

This will remove all of your private data from their systems. Only request deletion if you are absolutely certain, as this is an irreversible process.

Once Max deletes your account data, it cannot be recovered!

In Conclusion…

By carefully managing streaming subscriptions such as Max, you can save money without giving up access to your favorite platforms.

Make it a habit to evaluate all recurring costs on a regular basis to ensure you’re only paying for services you actually use.
