Can I still watch Netflix after I cancel?

Yes. Your account remains active and you can continue streaming until the end of your current billing period. Netflix does not cut off access immediately upon cancellation.

Will I get a refund when I cancel?

Netflix does not offer prorated refunds for the unused portion of a billing period. You simply retain access until the period ends and are not charged again afterward.

How do I reactivate my Netflix account after canceling?

Sign in to netflix.com and follow the prompts to restart your membership. Your profiles, viewing history, and preferences are kept for 10 months after cancellation, so everything will be restored if you reactivate within that window.

Does deleting the Netflix app cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the app or logging out does not cancel your subscription — you will continue to be billed. You must cancel through the Account settings on netflix.com or via your app store (if you subscribed through Apple or Google).

How do I cancel if I subscribed through Apple or Google?

If you subscribed via the App Store, cancel through iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Netflix. If via Google Play, cancel through the Play Store → Subscriptions → Netflix. Netflix's own website cannot cancel third-party billing subscriptions.

How do I delete my Netflix account and data entirely?

After canceling your membership, you can request account and data deletion by going to netflix.com, navigating to Account → Security & Privacy → 'Delete your account'. This permanently removes your profile, history, and personal data and cannot be undone.

Sign in to Netflix

Go to netflix.com and sign in to your account. Use a web browser — the cancellation flow works most reliably on the website, not the mobile app.

Open your Account settings

Click or tap your profile icon in the upper-right corner, then select 'Account' from the dropdown menu.

Click 'Cancel Membership'

Under the 'Membership & Billing' section at the top of the Account page, click the 'Cancel Membership' button.

Select a cancellation reason (optional)

Netflix may display a screen asking why you're canceling. Selecting a reason is optional and does not block cancellation. You can skip or select any option and continue.

Click 'Finish Cancellation'

On the confirmation screen, click 'Finish Cancellation' to complete the process. You will see a confirmation message and receive a cancellation confirmation email.
