iCloud+ not unlocking Apple TV and Arcade in India

What happens when you go to the Apple TV section in the Apple TV app?

Are you not alloewed to play an original Apple movie or show from Apple's catalog?

Do note Apple TV includes only Apple's orignla content, you don't get free access to the entirety of the iTunes movies and tv shows from other studios.

Does the Apple TV and Apple Arcade subscriptions appear in Settings ➜ Account ➜ Subscriptions as being active?

Hi everyone, quick update on my end: this issue is now resolved for me!

On September 17th, I finally received an email from Apple confirming that Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade are now actively included with my iCloud+ subscription here in India. Both services unlocked automatically after that and are working perfectly.

I see many of you from other countries are still facing this issue. It looks like Apple is doing a phased, region-by-region rollout rather than a global switch. If your services are still locked, here is what I suggest doing:

• Verify your region: Check your local Apple Newsroom site to confirm if the updated iCloud+ bundle has officially rolled out in your specific country.
• Check your email: Keep an eye out for a confirmation email from Apple (similar to the one I got on the 17th) signaling that your account has been updated.
• Update your devices: Make sure your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is running the latest software version.

If you confirm the rollout is active in your region and basic troubleshooting doesn't fix it, definitely open a direct ticket with Apple Support. Hope this goes live for the rest of you soon!

I am from another eligible region and face a problem. When I try to access Apple TV, the prompt requests renewal at $0.99; tapping it claims the service is now part of iCloud+ and asks me to subscribe to 2TB. I already hold iCloud+ with 2TB, yet iOS settings do not show TV or Arcade under subscriptions. I cannot purchase them separately now. I previously used Apple One, which I canceled because, per Apple’s FAQ, Apple One does not automatically cancel, convert, or adjust.

I don’t want to try out buying another iCloud+ subscription. I am afraid it may glitch and I will have two active subscriptions. Knowing all issues around iCloud services I am afraid cancelling one later may screw up my storage completely which is shared across family members.

Okay. I was finally enrolled on October 2, though the email shows October 1—likely late in the day in U.S. time.

For context, should anyone review this later: my current iCloud+ subscription renews on the 30th of each month. AppleOne was scheduled for the 30th–31st, but I canceled it one day earlier.

I have not taken any direct action regarding the iCloud+ subscription.

I am unsure what triggered the change—whether it was my AppleOne cancellation, the renewal date, or simply coincidence.

I have reactivated my subscription this month of i cloud plus. But cancelled my previous month subscription of icloud plus. Because of this i am not abhle to use my benefits of apple tv and apple arcade why is it so

Same here!

Is the issue resolved? Any way to activate the apple tv Subscription when ICloud is already subscribed?
