Netflix, the world's largest video-on-demand streaming service, boasts an impressive 238 million subscribers as of official data released in 2023. It offers users three types of plans: Standard with Ads, Standard, and Premium. Netflix does not offer free trials, but you have the freedom to change your plan or cancel online at any time if you decide Netflix isn't for you. In this article, we'll show you how to cancel your Netflix subscription on various platforms.
The process of canceling your Netflix subscription varies depending on your payment method. For those who pay with credit cards, Netflix prepaid gift cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, or PayPal, the cancellation process can be completed through the Netflix official website.
If you pay via iTunes, you can cancel your subscription by opening iTunes on your iOS mobile device or computer. On the other hand, for those who pay via Google Play, you can visit the Google account page on your computer or Android device to cancel your subscription. For detailed instructions, see below.

After you cancel your Netflix membership, you'll still have access to the service until the end of your contract. Netflix saves your viewing history for 10 months after you cancel, so if you decide to rejoin within that time, you can pick up right where you left off. However, after you complete the cancellation process, you won't be able to use all the features of Netflix, and you won't be able to access your downloaded content.
Once your membership expires, you won't be able to view videos that you downloaded from Netflix during your subscription period. It's important to note that you don't own the downloaded videos, even if you downloaded them during your subscription. For this reason, we recommend a powerful tool called Netflix Video Downloader, which is designed to download and permanently save Netflix videos to your local drive.
