The Netflix catalog no longer meets your expectations, the subscription has become too expensive and you may want to go see if the grass is greener elsewhere? To avoid accumulating subscriptions, here’s how to unsubscribe from Netflix quickly, but also how to resubscribe without losing your data.
Netflix is the most popular SVoD service in the world, with more than 220 million subscribers worldwide in 2022, it is far ahead of competition such as Prime Video, Canal+ Series, Disney+, OCS or the recent Paramount+. It must be said that he has the advantage of being the first to arrive with a very powerful marketing move that continues to endure. But it also has its flaws, starting with a higher price than most of its competitors (between 8.99 and 17.99 euros depending on the package). Fortunately, Netflix is non-binding, so if you want to lighten your bill, it’s very simple. We explain how to unsubscribe from Netflix in a few clicks.
Unsubscribe from Netflix from a browser
To unsubscribe from Netflix, you must go to the Netflix.com site from your browser. From there, go to Account settings by hovering the mouse over your portrait, at the top right of the interface, and click on Account.
From this page, you can modify most Netflix settings such as your payment details, your identifiers, your reading preferences and in this case, cancel the subscription. This option is clearly indicated in the category Subscription and billing by the block unsubscribeon the left, which must be clicked.
Netflix will ask you to confirm your choice to cancel and will try everything, offering you instead to switch to a different plan to lower the monthly bill or improve your experience. If your decision is made, confirm by clicking on Complete the cancellation. This done, your subscription is indeed canceled and you can justify or not your decision.
How to unsubscribe from Netflix from an Android or iPhone smartphone
On smartphone or tablet, the handling is more or less identical. Launch the application and identify yourself, then click on your icon at the top right of the home page to open the menu. Select the Account option and you will be redirected to your account web page, just like on PC.
From there, the procedure is therefore similar. Click the big button unsubscribethen on Complete the cancellation.

Click on it and your subscription is automatically reactivated (this time Netflix does not ask you to confirm).
Netflix is starting to have serious competition in France with Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+, but it seems to be one step ahead by the fact that it remains the one who democratized SVoD… Until when?
