SHOWTIME has a wide library of intriguing movies, television series, and original content. If you are prepared to move on, you can simply delete your account and cancel your subscription. 

This guide will explain exactly how to do that. Remember that deleting your account means saying goodbye to all SHOWTIME material. When you go any further, make sure you're prepared to say goodbye.

What Is SHOWTIME?

Showtime (now Paramount+ with Showtime) is a premium US TV network offering original shows, movies, documentaries, and more. It's both a linear channel and part of the Paramount+ streaming platform.

Why Is It Important to Delete Your SHOWTIME Account?

If you want to delete your SHOWTIME account for any reason other than just cancelling your subscription, here are some reasons to consider:

Safety Problems

  • If you are concerned about the security of your private data online, cancelling your account will remove it from SHOWTIME's records. 
  • This can be a great choice if you don't intend to use the service again.

Prevent Unexpected Charges

  • A cancelled account prevents you from being charged mistakenly in the future, especially if you use multiple payment methods or streaming services.

Start Over

  • If you've had trouble using SHOWTIME, cancelling your account and creating a new one will often minimise technical issues.

How to Delete Your SHOWTIME Account

If your SHOWTIME account has expired and you own an Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV), you can delete it using these steps:

  1. First, log in to your account and then navigate to the Settings option.
  2. After that, click on the Account Info option.
  3. Then click on the Delete Your Account link.
  4. Lastly, click on the Delete Account button to confirm the deletion of your account. 

Important Factors to Think About Before Deleting Your SHOWTIME Account

Before you delete the SHOWTIME account, check the following critical factors:

Losing Access to Media

  • Deleting your account completely deletes all of your viewing history, watchlist, and downloaded content. 
  • This means that you'll lose track of what you've viewed and may not be able to see any downloaded series or movies, even if you opt to resubscribe later.

Unsubscribing First

  • This is critical to avoid being charged even after deleting your account. 
  • SHOWTIME requires different activities to cancel the subscription and delete the account. 
  • Ensure you unsubscribe from the service before contacting customer service to remove your account completely.

Future Use

  • If you think you'll want to watch SHOWTIME again, deactivate rather than delete your account. 
  • This way, your account information and viewing history are saved, allowing you to resubscribe later easily.

Is SHOWTIME Considered a Secure Platform?

SHOWTIME is a safe platform for streaming content. However, like any other online service, potential security risks always exist. 

These include malware that is mistakenly downloaded via phishing emails disguised as SHOWTIME messages and account attacks if you use weak passwords. 

Be wary of spam messages claiming to be from SHOWTIME, and never enter your login information anywhere other than the official SHOWTIME website.

Even though SHOWTIME is encrypted, using any online service carries potential security concerns. PurePrivacy can help reduce such risks by protecting your login credentials and monitoring any social media accounts linked to SHOWTIME.
