With the growing popularity of OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, ZEE5 and others, there’s no doubt that almost everyone has a subscription to one of these platforms. Usually, subscriptions to most OTT platforms are either monthly, quarterly or annually.

Regardless of which plan you choose, you’ll have to pay the money in advance, however, you might want to cancel your subscription mid-way. Moreover, sometimes you might choose the auto-renewal plan but don’t want to renew your subscription again.

This might occur for a variety of causes, like:

• The free trial time has ended, and you have no desire to upgrade to the premium version.
• You have binge-watched your favourite show, OR your favourite show has unexpectedly become “unavailable,” therefore you won’t be using OTT in the future.
• You realize that paid does not imply ad-free, and you’re sick of all the advertising you keep viewing.

These are just some of the reasons why you might want to cancel your OTT subscription, but you might not know-how. Don’t worry! In this article, we’ve covered a step-by-step guide on how to cancel your OTT subscription for the majority of platforms.
