Netflix is one of the best streaming platforms available in most countries. It has a huge library of movies, TV shows, Series, and more. But what if you want to cancel your Netflix subscription when your favorite series is over. As Netflix is an Auto-renewal platform, you need to cancel the subscription when you are not using it. Or else you will be charged the entire subscription amount and you will not be able to claim it back. You can cancel the subscription/membership either on the Netflix website or on your Android or iOS smartphones.
