How To Cancel Disney+: Can You Do It From Your Phone?

Although Disney came to the streaming game late, Disney+ has emerged as a viable streaming service. A Disney+ free trial gives you a glimpse into the successful content from the Marvel and Star Wars universes which made the platform popular. The Disney+ bundle offer packages ESPN+ and Hulu for one lower rate to subscribers. The bundle has made Disney+ even more attractive for some people who may not have otherwise subscribed. As the number of streaming services continues to increase, though, many consumers are going to have to make some tough choices about which ones are worth it and which ones aren’t.

If, after careful evaluation, you decide that Disney+ isn’t a streamer that you absolutely need, you can cancel your subscription. Actually canceling your subscription can be tricky, and it depends in part on how you initially signed up for the service. If you signed up through a browser, canceling is fairly straightforward. If you used the mobile app to sign up, though, things can get a little more complicated. The good news is that, even after you end your subscription, you’ll still be able to use Disney+ until the end of your next billing cycle.

For many, the constant unsubscribing and re-subscribing can be a challenge, but it’s the best way to maximize the value you get out of each service.

In its long history as a website, YouTube has never been closely associated with television. Now, though, the company's CEO Neal Mohan revealed in their annual letter that users are watching more than 1 billion hours of YouTube on their TV every year.

According to Neilsen's ratings information, YouTube has maintained its dominance as the most used streaming app for the past two years, and even made changes to its TV app so that it looked more like a regular streaming service. Among the significant changes that YouTube made to its app in 2024 was one that gives you the ability to pull up comments on one side of the screen while you watch the video on the other, much as you can in the mobile app. The app also added a "seasons" feature that makes it easier to navigate long-running series of videos in much the same way you might navigate

Ryan Reynolds at his best: 13 movies you can’t miss
As a Reynolds fan, you must see all of his top films listed here
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine.

"I don’t expect success. I prepare for it." Wise and self-fulfilling words from our guy, Ryan Reynolds, one of Canada’s sweethearts. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Reynolds dreamed of getting out of there early in his life, not to abandon his family or hometown, but to act. True to his words, he and a fellow Vancouver actor impulsively took to the road one night with one destination: Los Angeles.
After taking the first step in following his dreams, his car was stripped and robbed on his first night in L.A. Did that stop our fearless protagonist? Indeed not. After just a few months, Reynolds was landing roles all over town, working whenever he could. Five years later, he finally got a leading role with a recognizable name, a college comedy called Van Wilder: Party Liaison. That movie didn’t make our list today, but it's only because Reynolds has been busy making an array of better movies ever since.
Most would agree that Ryan Reynolds brings a familiar presence in both appearance and demeanor to most of his films, but when you get a frame that fits just right, you get some great Ryan Reynolds features. That is why we’ve compiled a list of the best Ryan Reynolds movies. It should also be known that these movies were chosen for the movie quality and watchability, not just for the most Ryan of the Reynolds’ performances.
