Cancel Vidangel: The Right Way
How to cancel VidAngel in new zealand and protect your streaming rights
What VidAngel is and why new zealand viewers use it
VidAngel is a streaming service that applies content filters to movies and TV shows, letting you skip or mute scenes involving profanity, violence, and nudity while watching your favourite content. The service works across web browsers and native apps on multiple platforms, and it integrates with third-party streaming sources depending on your device and subscription method.
Many New Zealand viewers appreciate VidAngel because it gives them control over what they watch. You create an account, select your content, and choose filter settings to remove or mute specific content types during playback. However, if the service no longer suits your needs or your viewing habits have changed, cancelling should be straightforward. At Stopee, we help you understand exactly how to exit without confusion or hidden charges.
How VidAngel works at a glance
Your subscription gives you access to content filtering on supported shows and movies. The availability of filters, device compatibility, and billing terms depend on whether you purchased your subscription directly through VidAngel or via a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, or Roku.
Understanding which platform manages your subscription is crucial before you cancel, because the cancellation process differs based on where you signed up.
Why you might want to cancel
You may decide to cancel if you have found alternative filtering solutions, if the subscription no longer aligns with your viewing habits, or if you want to consolidate your streaming expenses. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through the process step by step.
Your consumer rights in new zealand and what they mean for your subscription
As a New Zealand consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which gives you specific rights when purchasing services like VidAngel.
The consumer guarantees act and streaming subscriptions
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If VidAngel fails to deliver the filtering features you paid for, stops working, or becomes unavailable, you have the right to request a refund, replacement, or repair.
The legislation also protects you against misleading marketing. If VidAngel advertises features that do not work as described in New Zealand, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from Consumer NZ.
Your right to cancel and cooling-off periods
While the Consumer Guarantees Act does not automatically give you a cooling-off period for digital services, VidAngel itself offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for new customers who subscribe directly via the website. This means you have 30 days to request a full refund if you signed up directly at vidangel.com.
Subscriptions purchased through Apple, Google Play, or Roku are subject to those platforms' refund policies, which may differ from VidAngel's own terms. Always check the terms at the point of purchase to understand your rights.
Cancellation methods and which platform manages your subscription
Before you cancel, identify where you bought your subscription, because each platform has its own cancellation process.
Cancel via the VidAngel website (direct subscription)
If you subscribed directly at vidangel.com, you cancel through the VidAngel account portal.
- Visit vidangel.com and log in with your email and password.
- Navigate to your Profile or Account settings.
- Locate the Subscription section and click Cancel Subscription.
- Review the cancellation details and click Continue to Cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation in the final prompt.
- You will retain access to VidAngel until the end of your current billing cycle.
Pro tip: Take a screenshot of the confirmation page or save any confirmation email you receive. You will need this proof of cancellation if you ever dispute a charge later.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS and macOS)
If you signed up through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through VidAngel itself.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap your name or profile icon at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find VidAngel in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription to end the Apple-managed subscription immediately.
- Apple will confirm the cancellation via email.
Warning: If you only delete the VidAngel app, your subscription will continue to renew and you will continue to be charged. You must complete this cancellation process within the Apple Settings app.
Cancel via google play (Android)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel through the Google Play Store app or website.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Find VidAngel in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap VidAngel and then tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
Alternatively, you can visit play.google.com, navigate to Subscriptions, find VidAngel, and select Manage, then Cancel.
Pro tip: Check the cancellation confirmation email from Google Play to confirm the exact date when your access will end.
Cancel via roku or other third-party platforms
If you subscribed to VidAngel through Roku or another platform, follow that platform's cancellation process. Contact your platform's customer support if the cancellation option is not obvious in your account settings.
What happens to your access and account after you cancel
Cancelling VidAngel does not mean you lose access immediately; the timing depends on your billing cycle and subscription type.
Your access after cancellation
When you cancel a direct web subscription at vidangel.com, your account remains active until the end of your current billing period. This means you can continue watching filtered content for the remainder of the month or year you have already paid for.
For platform-managed subscriptions (Apple, Google Play, Roku), access typically continues until the end of your current billing period as well. Verify the exact end date in your account settings or confirmation email.
Your billing and future charges
Cancellation stops automatic renewal at your next billing date. However, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of your current subscription unless you qualify for VidAngel's 30-day money-back guarantee or you initiated the cancellation within a cooling-off period set by your platform.
For platform-managed subscriptions, refunds must be requested from Apple, Google Play, or Roku directly, not from VidAngel.
Your account data and saved settings
VidAngel may retain your account information, filter preferences, and viewing history after you cancel, according to its privacy policy. If you want your data deleted, contact VidAngel Support directly to request account deletion.
Keep copies of any confirmation emails, support correspondence, and screenshots of your cancelled subscription status. This documentation protects you if any unexpected charges appear on your bank statement.
Refunds and money-back guarantees explained
VidAngel's refund policy applies only to direct web subscriptions and is subject to specific terms.
VidAngel's 30-day money-back guarantee
If you subscribed directly via vidangel.com, you are eligible for a full refund within 30 days of your initial purchase, provided you are a new customer. This is VidAngel's money-back guarantee and it covers the full subscription cost.
To claim a refund, contact VidAngel Support through the website, provide your account and subscription details, and request the refund. VidAngel will process your request and return funds to your original payment method.
Refunds for subscriptions via apple, google play, or roku
If you subscribed through a third-party platform, VidAngel does not handle refunds directly. Instead, you must request a refund from the platform itself.
| Platform | Refund request method | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, find your VidAngel purchase, and request a refund. | Apple typically approves refunds within 5-7 business days. |
| Google Play | Open Google Play Store, go to Account, Order History, find VidAngel, and request a refund. | Google processes refunds within 48 hours. |
| Roku | Contact Roku Support directly through your account dashboard. | Varies; check with Roku for typical timeframes. |
Important: Platform refund policies have strict time limits (often 48 hours from purchase for Google Play and 14 days for Apple). Act quickly if you want to request a refund.
VidAngel pricing and subscription plans
VidAngel offers subscription options that vary depending on your purchase channel and any active promotions.
Current plan options
VidAngel pricing and plan names can change based on your region and the time of purchase. Visit vidangel.com or your app store to see the current pricing for New Zealand customers.
| Plan type | Typical features | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Pay month-to-month; cancel anytime with 30-day notice period. | Easy; shortest commitment. |
| Annual subscription | Pay once per year; lower cost per month but longer commitment. | Moderate; check for proration. |
| Promotional offer | Limited-time discount or trial; terms vary by campaign. | Varies; always read the fine print. |
Check your subscription confirmation email to see exactly which plan you chose and when your next billing date falls.
Common mistakes that delay your cancellation
Cancelling a streaming subscription can feel stressful, especially if you are worried about unexpected charges. The good news is that most cancellation problems are easily avoided.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the VidAngel app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your account will continue to renew on your billing date, and you will continue to be charged. Always cancel through your subscription settings (VidAngel account, App Store, Google Play, or Roku) before deleting the app.
Mistake 2: cancelling with the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple, you cannot cancel through VidAngel's website. Conversely, if you subscribed directly through vidangel.com, cancelling through Apple will not work. Identify your subscription source first, then use the correct cancellation method.
Mistake 3: not keeping a copy of your cancellation confirmation
Without proof of cancellation, you cannot dispute unexpected charges if your payment processor mistakenly bills you again. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation or save the confirmation email.
Mistake 4: waiting until after your renewal date
Many subscribers forget to cancel before their renewal date and then find themselves charged for another month or year. Mark your renewal date in your calendar and cancel a few days before that date to avoid surprises.
Mistake 5: assuming your refund is automatic
For direct subscriptions, you must actively request a refund within 30 days; it will not happen automatically when you cancel. Contact VidAngel Support if you want to pursue the money-back guarantee.
A checklist for cancelling VidAngel safely
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel completely and protect yourself against future charges.
- Identify where you subscribed: VidAngel website, Apple App Store, Google Play, or Roku.
- Log in to your account on the correct platform and navigate to your subscription settings.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm the cancellation.
- Screengrab or save the confirmation page and any confirmation email you receive.
- Check your confirmation for the exact date when your access ends.
- If you subscribed within the last 30 days and subscribed directly, contact VidAngel Support to request a refund.
- Set a reminder for the day before your access ends to verify that VidAngel no longer appears on your subscription list.
- Check your bank statement after your billing date has passed to confirm no new charge appears.
- If an unexpected charge occurs, report it immediately to your bank or payment provider, and share your cancellation confirmation as evidence.

| Reason to keep VidAngel | Reason to cancel VidAngel |

What to do if VidAngel refuses to cancel or disputes your refund
Most cancellations and refund requests proceed without incident, but occasionally you may encounter resistance or confusion.
If VidAngel does not respond to your cancellation request
Try contacting VidAngel Support via their website and allow 5-7 business days for a response. If you do not hear back, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission or Consumer NZ, which handles disputes over unresponsive service providers.
If your refund is denied
If you subscribed directly and requested a refund within 30 days but VidAngel denies it without a valid reason, you can file a complaint with Consumer NZ or ask your bank to reverse the charge as a dispute. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, you have the right to a remedy if the service does not meet the standards you were promised.
If charges continue after cancellation
Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and report the charge as unauthorised. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Your bank can reverse the charge and may investigate VidAngel's billing practices.
Report repeat billing problems to the Commerce Commission so they can track patterns of misconduct by subscription services.
