Can I still watch Netflix after I cancel?

Yes. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain full access to Netflix until that date — no content is removed immediately.

Will I receive a refund when I cancel?

Netflix generally does not issue refunds for unused portions of a billing period. You simply retain access until the period ends. Exceptions may apply if you contact support shortly after a renewal charge.

How do I reactivate my Netflix account?

Visit netflix.com, sign in with your existing email and password, and follow the prompts to restart your membership. Your watch history, profiles, and preferences are saved for 10 months after cancellation.

How long does Netflix keep my data after cancellation?

Netflix retains your watch history, profiles, and account data for 10 months. After that window, your data may be deleted. You can request deletion earlier via Netflix's privacy settings.

What if I subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Roku?

If you signed up through a third party, there is no 'Cancel Membership' button on Netflix.com. You must cancel through that platform: Apple → Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → Netflix → Cancel. Google Play → Play Store → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → Netflix → Cancel. Roku → my.roku.com → Manage subscriptions → Netflix → Cancel.

Does deleting the Netflix app cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription and you will continue to be billed. You must cancel explicitly through netflix.com/cancelplan or the platform you subscribed through.
