Should I cancel personal Apple TV after joining family plan?

I have a personal AppleTV account and my son just sent me a link for the family plan, which I have connected to. Do I cancel my AppleTV subscription?

Yes, do once you have joined the family group so that any settings you have on your account do not vanish because of lack of a continuous active subscription. I also note the below in the context of Apple Music so maybe the same applies to Apple TV?


Get an Apple Music family subscription - Apple Support

"If someone in the family group already has an individual or student subscription to Apple Music, renewal of that subscription is automatically canceled when they join the family group."
