Cancel Prime Video Web Membership Steps
To unsubscribe prime video on a computer, sign in to Amazon and locate your membership details. The web flow is often the most direct because it clearly shows renewal settings and payment options in one place.
Once you are on the right page, choose to end your membership and confirm the effective date. This action removes automatic renewal while keeping access until the current period ends.
After confirmation, Amazon displays a summary of what changes immediately and what continues until the billing cycle closes. It is a good moment to verify that no other subscriptions are linked to the same account.
Cancel Prime Video on iPhone and iPad
On iOS devices, the App Store manages subscriptions separately from Amazon’s website, so you must cancel prime video subscription via Apple’s system. Open the Settings app, tap your Apple ID, and choose Subscriptions to locate Prime Video.
Select Prime Video and then tap Cancel Subscription to stop future billing. Your video access remains active until the current billing period expires, even after the cancellation is complete.
Double-check that the status changes to Expired or Canceled in the Subscriptions list to ensure no accidental renewals occur in the next billing cycle.
Cancel Prime Video on Android and Kindle Devices
For Android phones, tablets, and Kindle devices, Google Play handles recurring payments, so you cancel prime video through Google Play subscriptions. Open the Google Play Store, go to Payment & subscriptions, and find your active subscriptions.
Tap on Prime Video, choose Cancel, and follow the prompts. You keep streaming until the end of the paid period, but no further charges will be applied.
Make sure the payment method shown is the one you intend to stop, especially if you have multiple Google accounts or family members managing media.
Manage Subscription on Smart TV and Streaming Devices
When you use Fire TV, Roku, or other streaming hardware, the app may hold its own subscription logic, so you often need to cancel on the web or via an App Store. Start by noting the account email shown in the Prime Video settings.
Visit Amazon’s membership page on a computer or phone, sign in, and locate your active devices. You can then end the recurring payment tied to that specific device or platform, which controls how long you keep access.
After canceling, the Prime Video app may still launch content until it checks in with Amazon servers, so restart the app or device if it unexpectedly asks for payment again.
