How to Remove Ads on Amazon Prime Video: Step-by-Step Guide

Amazon Prime Video is changing things up by including advertisements in between your favorite TV shows and movies. While this might not come as a total surprise, it’s definitely a game-changer for subscribers. The idea is to boost revenue for the platform, but it could impact how users enjoy their content.

According to Amazon, when you’re watching Prime Video, you’ll start to see “limited advertisements that run before and during playback.” The catch? These ads are here to stay, unless you decide to sign up for the Prime Video Ad plan. This plan is available as a monthly or yearly subscription in India.

But here’s the kicker – even if you pay to get rid of ads during shows and movies, you’ll still have to sit through advertisements in “free ad-supported programming, live TV, and sports events.” Not to mention those promotional trailers that show up before movies or shows, which you can’t skip even with the ad-free plan. This content is tagged as “watch with ads” on the show’s page.

If you’re tired of these interruptions and want to remove some ads from Amazon Prime Video, here’s what you can do. Simply visit the Prime Video website from your browser and head to “Your Account.” From there, select “Go Ad free” and hit the “Start Subscription” button.

On the mobile app, keep an eye out for a banner at the bottom with a “Go ad free” button. Click on it, and Amazon will send you an email with a “Continue signing up” button. This will take you to a new webpage where you can pay either Rs 129 for a monthly subscription or Rs 699 for a yearly ad-free plan.

Once you’re all signed up, Amazon assures you that the profiles linked to your account won’t see any more advertisements while streaming movies and shows on the platform. Just remember, if you’re a Prime Video Mobile Edition or Prime Lite member, you’ll need to upgrade to Amazon Prime first before you can subscribe to the ad-free plan. These plans are in addition to your existing Prime membership, which costs Rs 299 per month or Rs 1,499 per year.
