How to Remove Ads from Prime Video
Well, there is no trick or shortcut to remove ads from Amazon Prime Video. What you can do is buy the Ad-Free plan from Prime Video in addition to the Amazon Prime Membership plan.
Viewers can pay an additional Rs. 129 per month or Rs 699 per year, along with their existing Prime membership. Rs. 699 will be charged for the first year of your ad-free subscription. Thereafter, the subscription renews automatically at full price. You can cancel it anytime from my account section on the Amazon app/website.
But still, ads can show up in free ad-supported programming, live TV, and sports events.
Keep in mind, this ad-free upgrade is in addition to your existing Prime subscription. Amazon Prime membership cost is ₹299/month or ₹1,499/year. Users of Prime Video Mobile Edition or Prime Lite will need to upgrade to a full Amazon Prime membership before they can purchase the ad-free plan for Prime Video.
