Quick answer

1. Confirm who bills Prime (Amazon account vs Apple vs Google Play vs a wireless/partner company).
2. If Amazon bills you: desktop → Accounts & Lists → Prime Membership → Manage Membership → End Membership and follow prompts — or open the Amazon Shopping app → Profile → Manage Prime Membership → End Membership.
3. Amazon Help also links straight to Cancel Your Prime Membership — open it and follow the prompts.
4. If Apple or Google (or another company) bills you, cancel there — Amazon cannot stop charges it doesn’t control. Amazon Help: if you signed up for Prime through Google Play using Android, cancel through Google subscription services.
5. Amazon Help: subscriptions on Prime Video, like Paramount+, continue after your Prime membership ends — cancel each one you don’t want in Memberships & Subscriptions.

Cancel Amazon Prime on iPhone

Most Prime memberships are billed by Amazon, not Apple. Use the fork below.

If Amazon bills you (most common)

1. Open the Amazon Shopping app on iPhone or Safari → amazon.com.
2. Follow the mobile / desktop End Membership path above.
3. If Amazon Prime does not appear under Apple Settings → Subscriptions, you are almost certainly Amazon-billed — do not stop at Apple Settings.

If Apple bills you (App Store subscription)

1. Open Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions.
2. Tap Amazon Prime (or the Amazon listing that matches the charge).
3. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
4. Keep Apple’s confirmation; check Amazon account status for the end date.
5. Canceling only inside the Amazon app while Apple still bills = still charged.

Google Play (Android path note)

Amazon Help: if you signed up for Amazon Prime through Google Play using Android, cancel your subscription through Google subscription services. Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → cancel.

Platform-specific / partner paths

• Other company (e.g. carrier-associated Prime): Amazon Help says contact that company to manage Prime.
• Memberships & Subscriptions hub: Manage Amazon Subscriptions for Prime and other Amazon subscriptions.
• See also Cancel subscriptions through Amazon for Channels / other Amazon-billed lines.

Fees, contracts, and money at risk

• Amazon Help: paid members who haven’t used their benefits are eligible for a full refund of the current membership period; Amazon processes the refund in three to five business days.
• Separate “cancellation fee” ETF: unknown / not claimed here.
• Benefits typically continue until the membership end date shown after cancel.
• partner/Apple/Google billing is the main “still charged” trap.

Charged after canceling

1. Charge for the period you already paid (benefits through end date = normal)?
2. Apple/Google still billing while you only ended membership in Amazon (or reverse)?
3. Partner/carrier Prime still active?
4. Retention path not finished — End Membership not confirmed?
5. Separate Amazon subscription (Channels, Music Unlimited, etc.) still renewing?

Retention offers

Amazon’s cancel flow often highlights benefits or alternate plans. You’re allowed to decline and finish End Membership.

What you lose / what happens next

• Fast shipping, Prime Video, and other Prime benefits end on the date Amazon shows after cancel.
• Prime Video subscriptions (like Paramount+) keep renewing after Prime ends unless you cancel them separately.
• You can usually rejoin later at then-current pricing.
• Keep confirmation until the next statement is clean.
