How to Cancel Netflix from the Web

The easiest way to cancel Netflix is from the web. Some devices may require you to log in to cancel your subscription, making it the best place to start.

1. Log into Netflix

The first step to canceling Netflix is to log into the service. On a PC, you can go to Netflix and access your account. Once you log in, locate your user icon in the upper right corner of the screen and hover over it with your mouse to access a drop-down menu. Select Account to proceed to the next screen.

Make sure you are in the “main” account and not a secondary account for someone else in your household.

2. Access the Account Menu

Within the account menu, you can cancel Netflix or change settings on your membership, including the billing day. To start canceling your subscription to the streamer, click on the Cancel button, as shown below.

3. Cancel Netflix

From this screen, there is only one more step to end your subscription to Netflix. You have a chance to back out from here, if you’re having second thoughts. Once you click Finish Cancellation, the process is complete, and Netflix has been canceled.

How to Cancel Netflix from a Mobile Device

Canceling Netflix on your mobile is easy as ABC. The same steps apply to all smartphones, regardless of whether you use an Android device or iPhone.

1. Open the App

Sign into your Netflix app and find the user icon for your account. It is at the top of the screen on the right side, the same place it is on the web app. Tap your account to access the Profile menu.

2. Go to Account Settings

Tap on the account. You will be directed to a screen showing your account details. Depending on your device, you may have to scroll through a few screens to find the Cancel Membership button towards the bottom near the Plan Details section.

3. Cancel Netflix

See the option to cancel under billing details? Tap the button. You can finish canceling your subscription with a tap or back out to the Profiles & More section.
