Amazon Prime users can now cancel their subscription in just two clicks 

Amazon will make it easier for Amazon Prime users to cancel their subscriptions. The move has been taken following complaints from consumer groups.

Amazon will soon let Prime users unsubscribe with just two clicks. The company will make it easier for users to cancel their subscriptions. The move has been taken following complaints from consumer groups, the European Commission announced. The consumer groups had complained that the users were made to pass through numerous hurdles including complicated navigation menus, confusing choices, to unsubscribe from Prime.

As per Reuters, Amazon Prime users will be able to cancel subscriptions from websites for desktop devices, tablets, and mobiles in the European Union with immediate effect. “Opting for an online subscription can be very handy for consumers as it is often a very straightforward process, but the reverse action of unsubscribing should be just as easy. Consumers must be able to exercise their rights without any pressure from platforms. One thing is clear: Manipulative designs or ‘dark patterns’ must be banned. I welcome Amazon’s commitment to simplify their practices to allow consumers to unsubscribe freely and easily,” justice commissioner, Didier Reynders said:

Amazon, however, said that it has made the process simple for customers to both sign in and cancel their subscription.“By design we make it clear and simple for customers to both sign up for or cancel their Prime membership.We continually listen to feedback and look for ways to improve the customer experience, as we are doing here following constructive dialogue with the European Commission,” Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. The changes will only be applicable in the European Union and not in India. You will still have to follow the lengthy process to cancel the Amazon Prime subscription.
