How to Cancel Your Netflix Subscription on Apple TV
If you set up your Netflix account through iTunes (likely on Apple TV) and therefore use iTunes billing to pay for the service, you’ll need to follow slightly different steps to unsubscribe.
On your iOS device, go to the iOS App Store, then hover over “Featured”. From there, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on your Apple ID. Then select “Show Application ID”.
After entering your password, you will be taken to your account page. Scroll down and tap “manage app subscriptions” (if you don’t see this option, you’re probably not paying through iTunes after all, so you’ll need to follow the steps in the previous section).
When you find the subscription you want to manage, select it and turn off auto-renewal.
If you don’t have an iOS device, you can use iTunes on your computer. Log in, then navigate to “Warehouse > View Account in Top Navigation Bar” (you may be prompted for your password).
There, scroll down to the “Settings” section and you’ll see a button that says “Manage” to the right of “Subscriptions.” Click on this option to turn off auto-renewal of your subscription i.e. your Netflix subscription will be cancelled.
