History Vault, established in 2016, offers documentaries for $4.99 to $49.99. Maybe you joined for Ancient Aliens marathons or after the Oppenheimer buzz, but now it sits unused. Cancelling saves you up to $49.99. It works on iOS, Android, and desktop, yet users on Trustpilot often slam the service for "non-existent support" and billing loops. With recent streamflation trends, dumping niche apps is essential. Pissed Consumer data highlights frustration with auto-renewals, totaling hundreds of complaints recently. If you subscribed via History Vault or a third party, the exit routes differ. Avoid the headache.
How to Cancel History Vault on iPhone (iOS)
Most users sign up via Apple. If that is you, the subscription lives in your Apple ID, not the app.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. Do not try to cancel through the History Vault app itself; Apple blocks that function.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID name at the very top of the list. It usually has your profile picture next to it.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see it, check under 'Media & Purchases' instead. It moves around sometimes with iOS updates.
4 Cancel History Vault
Find History Vault in the list. Tap it, then hit Cancel Subscription. If you only see 'Renew Option,' it is already cancelled.
How to Cancel History Vault on Android
Android users must go through the Play Store. Deleting the app does absolutely nothing to stop the billing.
1 Open Google Play
Launch the Google Play Store app. Make sure you are signed into the correct Google account used for the purchase.
2 Tap Profile Icon
Tap your profile picture in the top right corner. A menu will slide up.
3 Payments & Subscriptions
Select Payments & subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions to see your active list.
4 Cancel Subscription
Select History Vault. Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom. Follow the prompts to confirm. Google might ask why you are leaving; just pick any reason.
How to Cancel History Vault on Desktop
This method only works if you paid directly with a credit card on their website. It is the most direct way, but also the glitchiest.
1 Go to the Website
Visit historyvault.com and Log In. If you forgot your password, reset it now because you cannot cancel as a guest.
2 Access My Account
Click the gear icon or your name in the top right corner to open My Account.
3 Manage Subscription
Look for the Subscription Status section. If you do not see it, you likely subscribed via Roku or Apple, not the website.
4 Confirm Cancellation
Click Cancel Subscription. You might have to click it twice to get past the 'Are you sure?' retention screen.
What is History Vault Cancellation Policy
History Vault follows the industry standard 'no refunds' rule. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of the current billing cycle. So, if you cancel on the 2nd and your renewal is the 30th, you still have 28 days of access. They do not prorate refunds for unused time. This is a huge complaint source on the Better Business Bureau, where users often feel cheated after forgetting to cancel by a single day. Once that charge hits, it is gone.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your History Vault Subscription?
Struggling to find the cancel button? You are not alone. The most common issue is looking in the wrong place.
- Check your bank statement: If the charge says "ROKU," you must cancel via my.roku.com. If it says "AMZN" or "Kindle," you subscribed via Amazon Appstore.
- Desktop vs. Mobile: The website often glitches on mobile browsers. Try logging in from a laptop or use 'Desktop Mode' on your phone browser.
- Third-Party Billing: If you subscribed through a cable provider or an add-on channel (like Apple TV Channels), the standalone History Vault app will not recognize your subscription.
