In compatible regions Apple TV is now part of iCloud Plus for no extra charge, there is would be nothing to activate and it would be added automatically (with existing subscriptions being transferred over and cancelling the standalone one).


See below for info (copied from linked support article)

To check whether your plan includes access, open Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > iCloud+. If Apple TV and Apple Arcade are included with iCloud+ in your country, you’ll see them listed in your subscription details.

iCloud+ with Apple TV and Apple Arcade is available in:

Albania, Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eswatini, Fiji, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, India, Iraq, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Micronesia, Moldova, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, São Tomé and Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe


If you already subscribe to iCloud+, you’ll automatically gain access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no additional cost.


If you currently subscribe to Apple TV or Apple Arcade individually but not iCloud+, you’ll be notified via push notification and email that you’re now subscribed to iCloud+, and you’ll continue to have uninterrupted access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade through your new iCloud+ subscription.


Your existing individual Apple TV or Apple Arcade subscription will be cancelled as it’s no longer needed. On Arcade, your game progress and saves are preserved, and there’s no interruption to your access.

If you subscribe to Apple One, your subscription continues unchanged and includes access to all services in your plan.


If you’d like to switch to an iCloud+ subscription instead, go to Settings > Account > Manage Subscriptions.

Anyway I contacted the Apple support team and they told me that this subscription is not available in US now. Maybe it will be available in the next month or two. Thanks vasandrew for your help.

Then I would contact Apple support so they can take a look.

There was no indication of anger by the other poster, simply relaying the fact that this is a user forum and directing you on how to contact them directly.


There have been other reports and it looks like there is a delayed roll out in these new regions, but Apple would be best suited to answer further questions.

Thanks for your detailed reply but as I said before still not active. I’m living in Jordan and still I didn’t get this subscription yet. Please find my subscription screenshot.


Sir, Calm down. I feel you are angry about this post. I’m posting this to see if other people have the same issue. Please accept my sincere respect.
