The context

Netflix has been trending as subscribers review their streaming budgets amid price hikes and new competition. The company’s recent crackdown on password sharing and introduction of ad-supported tiers have also prompted users to reassess. Many search for cancellation steps because they’re unsure how to stop payments, especially when billed through Apple, Google, or a TV provider. The key is knowing the correct method: always cancel in your account settings, not by removing the app.
