History Vault, launched in 2015, is a streaming service for history buffs, packed with documentaries and series from A&E Networks. Maybe you signed up to binge all the World War II content after seeing Oppenheimer and now you're done. It happens. With subscriptions ranging from $4.99 to $49.99, you can save up to $49.99 a year by canceling an unused plan. This guide covers how to cancel on your desktop, iOS, or Android device, so you can stop the charges before the next billing cycle hits.
How to Cancel History Vault on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to History Vault through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple, not the History Vault website. It's a common mistake people make.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your home screen. It's the one with the gears.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the Apple ID screen, you'll see a list of options. Tap on Subscriptions to see all the services you're paying for through your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel History Vault
Scroll through the list of your active and expired subscriptions to find History Vault. Tap on it, then tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll have to confirm your choice, and you're done. Apple will send a confirmation email.
How to Cancel History Vault on Android
Cancelling on Android is pretty straightforward, but make sure you're logged into the correct Google account if you use more than one.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Locate and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device. This is where all your app-based subscriptions are managed.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several options.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This section contains your payment methods, subscription list, and purchase history.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all services you're subscribed to via Google Play.
5 Cancel History Vault
Find History Vault in the list and tap on it. At the bottom of the screen, tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. That's it. No more charges from them.
How to Cancel History Vault on Desktop or Laptop
1 Visit the History Vault Website
Open your web browser and go to historyvault.com. This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up on their site.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Log In button, usually at the top right, and enter your email and password for your History Vault account.
3 Navigate to 'My Account'
Once logged in, find your name or a profile icon at the top of the page. Click on it and select My Account from the dropdown menu.
4 Find the Cancellation Link
In your account dashboard, look for a section related to your subscription or billing details. There should be an option that says Cancel Subscription or something similar. Honestly, they sometimes hide this link, so you might have to look carefully.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Click the cancellation link and follow the final steps. They might ask you for a reason or offer you a discount to stay. Just proceed with the cancellation until you see a confirmation message on the screen. Always wait for the confirmation email.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your History Vault Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or your cable provider? If so, you MUST cancel through that specific service. History Vault's website can't cancel a subscription billed by Amazon, for example.
- Use a Desktop Computer: Some websites make it intentionally difficult to cancel on a mobile browser. Try logging in on a laptop or desktop, as the full site version often has the correct options.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes old data stored in your browser can cause issues. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private browsing window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If nothing else works, you'll have to contact their customer support through the website's contact form. Be prepared for a delayed response, as many users have reported.
