How to Cancel Your Netflix Subscription on iPhone, iPad, and Desktop

This page describes how to cancel the streaming service on iPhone, iPad, and desktop computers.

As the cost of living rises, more and more people are searching for ways to save money, and one of the primary reasons people have been abandoning Netflix is because the service has raised its prices.

The basic standard definition plan increased from $8.99 to $9.99, the Standard HD plan increased from $13.99 to $15.49, and the 4K Ultra plan increased from $17.99 to $19.99 in January 2022.

Netflix recently stated that it is attempting to monetise the more than 100 million households that “now enjoy Netflix without explicitly paying for it.” In other words, sharing passwords between families may soon become obsolete.

Regardless of the reason for your departure, you are not alone. In the United States and Canada, Netflix lost 1,3 million subscribers during the second quarter of 2022. Keep in mind that Netflix is working on a lower-priced ad-supported tier that will launch in early 2023, but until then, here are the ways you can cancel the service.
