How to Cancel Netflix: Stop Your Netflix Subscription on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Online

Netflix helped change how we digest video content and binge-watch TV shows, and it gives new life to the low-rated B-movies that time forgot.

Packages start at $6.99 (through select providers or Netflix directly) or $9.99 monthly, rising to $19.99 if you want Ultra HD footage and multiple accounts per subscription. No matter what package you opt for, you can access Netflix.

However, you may not fancy keeping Netflix after your month-long free trial has run its course. Many subscription services hide their Unsubscribe buttons in their settings, but Netflix is surprisingly easy to cancel.

If you want to cancel Netflix because the costs keep increasing, you feel you’ve watched all of the desired content it offers, or you want to end the trial before they debit your bank card, you can cancel your account.

Canceling My Netflix FAQs

I canceled my Netflix subscription but still got billed. What’s going on?

Netflix cancelations take effect on the next billing cycle. If you’re due to be billed on the first of the month but cancel on the 15th, you’ll still have access to Netflix’s content until the first.

Unfortunately, delays can occur when canceling, which means you may see another charge if you cancel your subscription within one or two days from the renewal date.

Once you’ve canceled your membership, verify that you have correctly completed the cancelation by checking your email. You should receive a confirmation email. If you didn’t receive one, log into Netflix and check that your membership shows an expiration (there will be a notice listed).

Lastly, if you’re positive you canceled your account on time and canceled the correct one (you may have multiple accounts), contact Netflix Support for help. Netflix’s official stance on refunds is that they do not offer them, but it’s worth reaching out if you got billed incorrectly.

I don’t see the option to cancel under my profile. Why not?

If you’ve followed the steps above but do not see a cancellation option, it’s because you’re getting billed through another service. If you aren’t sure which one, visit your Netflix account page and click the link where your billing information should be. This section will walk you through the cancelation process for your account setup.

Can I reactivate my account?

Yes. Netflix will allow you to reactivate your account for up to 10 months. If you do so within this period, your viewing history and everything will remain intact.

You must start a brand new account if you attempt to cancel after this period.

Can I pause my account?

Pausing a subscription allows users to suspend their payments and service for a specified period, but not everyone has the option. Netflix did confirm in July of 2021 that it is testing the option. As of December 22, 2022, the feature is still unavailable to many members. For those who can pause their Netflix account, resume your subscription before the 10th billing period to continue your service just as it was before.
