At times, when we feel that our account is overloaded, we changed our phone or device, revoke access from a temporary permit or someone is leaching off our Netflix account, it’s time to remove the device from Netflix account. Someone asked me “how do I remove a device from my Netflix account” and that made me write this article.

If you don’t want to add a device or share your credentials, you can directly start a Netflix watch party with Google Chrome extensions. Your friends can watch the same streaming along with an option to chat. Here in this article, you will find how to remove a device from a Netflix account or if you have got a new device, you can also learn to add a device to your Netflix account.

Remove Device from Netflix Account

To remove a device from the Netflix account, you will need to login to the website as you can’t remove the device from Netflix App. Netflix keeps a list of registered devices that allows you to take control of the access as who can use your Netflix account, watch history, or remove the device you no longer recognize.

Step 1. Log in to your Netflix account using your user name and password on a web browser.

Step 2. On the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click on the small profile icon and then click on ‘Accounts’ to access Netflix settings.

Step 3. Scroll down the list and look for the ‘Manage Download Devices’ under the ‘Settings’ section.

Step 4. Look for the device you wish to remove from your Netflix account and click on the ‘Remove Device’ button.

Step 5. The selected device will be removed from the account. You will get a confirmation on the green bar confirming the deletion of the device. All downloads available on that device will be removed and the device will gain no longer access with the same account details.

“Please Note: Netflix only allows two devices to download at the same time using the same account credentials. If you have removed an account, you get a chance to add another device and start streaming or downloading on that device.”

Alternates:

Sign Out Of all Devices

Alternatively, you can also login to your account and go to the account settings page. Click on ‘Sign Out of All Devices’ under the ‘Settings’ section. It will ask you for the confirmation, click on ‘Sign Out’ to confirm your selection.
