This article explains how to cancel Netflix via several sources, including a web browser, the Netflix app for Android or iOS, and iTunes or Google Play.

Instructions in this article apply to the Netflix video streaming service app for smart TVs, video game consoles, web browsers, and mobile devices.

How to Cancel Netflix on a Web Browser

To cancel your subscription through the Netflix website:

  1. Select the Profile icon in the upper-right corner.

    The account icon on Netflix

  2. Select Account from the drop-down menu.

    The account link

  3. Under MEMBERSHIP & BILLING, select Cancel Membership.

    You can continue to watch Netflix until your account closes at the end of the current billing period.

How to Cancel Netflix via Google Play on Your Computer

If you subscribed to Netflix through Google Play, then you must cancel your subscription using your Google account. Go to play.google.com in any browser and select My Subscriptions on the left side to manage your account, including actions to cancel Netflix.

You must be logged in to the Google account you used to set up Netflix.

How to Cancel Netflix via Google Play on Android

To cancel a Netflix subscription through Google Play on Android, launch the Google Play app and select your profile picture in the upper-right corner, then select Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions. You will be able to cancel any listed subscription, including Netflix.

A Google Play user manages their subscriptions in the store's settings.

How to Cancel Netflix From the Mobile App

To cancel your subscription using the Netflix mobile app for Android or iOS, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Netflix app and select More.

  2. Select Account to open the cancellation page in a web browser.

  3. Scroll down and select Cancel Membership.

    Canceling the subscription from any device cancels the account for all devices. Uninstalling any of the Netflix apps, however, does not cancel your subscription.

How to Cancel Netflix via iTunes

If you signed up for Netflix via iTunes, you can manage your subscription from the iTunes desktop app:

If you set up your Netflix account on an Apple TV, then you can also cancel your subscription using this method.

  1. Select View My Account under Account and log into your Apple ID if prompted.

    Select Account > View My Account.

  2. Scroll down to the Settings section and select Manage next to Subscriptions.

    Netflix keeps your viewing activity for 10 months, so if you decide to rejoin Netflix within that time period, your account will be just as you left it.
