How to Cancel Netflix on the Web (Fastest Method)
This works for anyone who signed up directly at netflix.com or through a TV provider. Go to netflix.com and sign in. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and choose "Account". Under the "Membership" section, click "Cancel Membership". Netflix shows your exact billing end date on the next screen — your access continues until that date at no extra charge. Click "Finish Cancellation" to confirm. You'll receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. If you don't see the "Cancel Membership" button, your subscription is managed by a third party such as Apple, Google, or your cable provider.
How to Cancel Netflix on iPhone or iPad (App Store)
If you subscribed through the iOS App Store, Netflix has no ability to cancel on your behalf — you must go through Apple. Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, then tap "Subscriptions". Scroll to find Netflix and tap it. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm. Your Netflix access continues until the end of the current billing period. Going to Netflix's own account page will show your subscription as active and won't offer a cancel button — this is normal. The only way to stop being charged is through Apple.
How to Cancel Netflix on Android (Google Play)
If you subscribed through the Google Play Store, open the Play Store app and tap your profile icon in the top-right. Go to "Payments & subscriptions", then "Subscriptions". Find Netflix in the list and tap it, then tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts. Your access continues until the billing period ends. If you subscribed to Netflix directly through their website and use an Android device, use the web cancellation method above instead — the Play Store won't show your subscription in that case.
What to Expect After You Cancel
Netflix does not pro-rate or refund unused days — you keep full access until your billing period ends, then the subscription stops. Your account is not deleted: your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings are stored for 10 months. If you re-subscribe within that window, everything is restored exactly as you left it. After 10 months of inactivity, Netflix permanently deletes your profile data. There is no penalty for cancelling, and you can rejoin at any time.
