JAKARTA - For movie fans, you must be familiar with the Netflix streaming application. When compared to Disney+, Apple TV, and other streaming apps, Netflix subscriptions are much more expensive.

However, it could have been worth what it was given. Netflix provides a lot of different types of shows for its subscribers. Starting from films, documentaries, series, everything is complete there.

But it could be, for some people with prices ranging from Rp. 54 thousand to Rp. 186 thousand per month, it is very burdensome. Well, if you are in a case like this, you will think about canceling the subscription.

No need to worry, because Netflix gives its users the freedom to cancel their subscription at any time. Keep in mind, if you cancel your service, it doesn't mean your Netflix account will be deleted as well.

Difference between Canceling vs Deleting a Netflix Account

Canceling and Deleting are two different things. Canceling your Netflix account means you won't be able to watch movies and TV shows on the platform. You will also not be billed again for the subscription fee. However, your account will still be available on Netflix servers, and you will still be able to sign in.

On the other hand, deleting your Netflix account means that your details are removed from the company's servers. Once your account is deleted, you will not be able to log in. If you want to subscribe to Netflix in the future, you will need to create a new account.

However, please note that simply by canceling your subscription, Netflix will delete your account after ten months. Unfortunately, unlike deleting your Netflix profile, account deletion is not a quick and easy process.
