Frequently Asked Questions

Is HBO Max the same as Max?

Yes. HBO Max was rebranded to "Max" in mid-2023. If you had HBO Max, your account automatically became a Max account. Same content, same login.

Can I cancel Max on my phone?

You can cancel through the Max app (Profile → Subscription) or through your device's subscription settings (App Store / Google Play) if that's how you subscribed.

What happens to my watchlist after canceling?

Your profiles, watchlist, and viewing history are saved. If you resubscribe, everything is restored.

Does canceling Max affect my cable HBO?

If HBO is included in your cable package, canceling the Max app doesn't affect your cable HBO access. They're separate subscriptions.
