How to Cancel Your Netflix Subscription Easily

Are you trying to limit your subscription budget? Well, we all know that Netflix is one of the priciest OTT services in many countries, so I won’t blame you for thinking it’s the one burning a hole in your pocket. This article will explain how to cancel your Netflix subscription and other things you should consider while doing it. So, if you are ready to save some bucks, let’s begin.

Things to Remember Before Cancelling Netflix Subscription

If you are taking this decision in the heat of the moment, here are a few things you should remember before canceling your Netflix subscription:

• The cancellation comes into effect after the end of your current billing cycle.
• Uninstalling or not using Netflix will not cancel the subscription or membership.
• You will lose your personalized recommendations upon removing your membership.
• You must pay for the upcoming month in advance if you choose to resume the membership.
• If you don’t have an automatic payment setup, you can skip further payments without canceling the plan. It won’t cost you extra when you rejoin or renew your membership. The same applies if you have used a gift card or promotional offer to access Netflix.
• If your account is on hold, the cancellation will be effective immediately.

How to Cancel Netflix Subscription on Android and iPhone

1. Head over to the Netflix app on your Android or iOS phone.
2. Tap on the profile icon at the bottom right.
3. Then, tap on the hamburger menu at the top right and select Account.

4. This redirects you to the Account page. Here, scroll down and tap on Cancel Membership under “Billing details”.
5. That will take you to a Manage your membership screen. From here, tap on Cancel.
6. Now, tap on Finish Cancellation to complete the process.

With that, you will have successfully canceled your Netflix subscription. On the confirmation page, you can see when the cancellation comes into effect.

How to Cancel Your Subscription from Netflix Website

Simply by using your desired web browser, you can cancel your Netflix subscription. So, once you’ve visited the Netflix web version, here’s how to go about it:

1. Hover the cursor over your Netflix profile icon.
2. From the list of options that appears, click on Account.

3. You will be redirected to your Netflix Account page. Here, select Manage membership.

4. Scroll down this page and click on Cancel Membership at the bottom.

5. Now, click on Finish Cancellation to complete the process.

On both versions, you can also choose to Pause for 1 Month instead of canceling your Netflix account completely. “You can still browse and unpause anytime,” Netflix says. This is a better option since it prevents you from losing the platform’s personalized recommendations.

Note:

If you don’t see the “Cancel Membership” option, it means your subscription is handled by a third-party client like your smart TV company or internet service provider (ISP). In such cases, contact the service provider to cancel subscription. 

There might be numerous reasons for you to cancel your Netflix subscription. It might be moving to another country, joining another member’s Netflix Household, or wanting to give other Netflix alternatives like Disney+, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video a chance.
