How to Cancel Your OldRoll Subscription (Step-by-Step)
You cancel an OldRoll subscription the same way you’d cancel any App Store or Google Play subscription — not inside OldRoll itself. On iPhone, go to Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > OldRoll > Cancel Subscription. On Android, open the Google Play Store app > tap your profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > OldRoll > Cancel. Either way, you keep premium access until the current billing period ends.
This trips people up because it’s not obvious — there’s no “cancel” button buried in OldRoll’s own settings menu. That’s standard for apps that sell subscriptions through Apple’s and Google’s billing systems rather than handling payments themselves, and it’s worth understanding before you go looking for a cancel switch that doesn’t exist inside the app.
Cancel on iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app (not the App Store app).
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find OldRoll in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If you don’t see OldRoll listed, you may be signed into a different Apple ID than the one used to subscribe — check Settings > [your name] to confirm which account you’re viewing.
Cancel on Android
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Select OldRoll.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
What Happens After You Cancel
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I lose access immediately? | No — premium cameras stay unlocked until the current billing period you already paid for expires. |
| Will I be charged again? | No, cancelling stops all future renewals. |
| Can I resubscribe later? | Yes, at any time through the same Subscriptions menu, at whatever OldRoll’s current price is then. |
| Do my past photos disappear? | No — photos you’ve already saved to your camera roll are yours regardless of subscription status. |
Switching Plans Instead of Cancelling Outright
If your actual goal is saving money rather than stopping OldRoll entirely, cancelling isn’t your only option. If you’re on the monthly plan, switching to yearly billing the next time you’re prompted to renew is usually the better move — see the math in our subscription pricing breakdown. Apple and Google both let you change subscription tiers within the same Subscriptions menu used for cancelling, so you don’t have to fully cancel and re-subscribe just to switch billing frequency.
Why People Usually Cancel
The most common reasons aren’t dissatisfaction with the app itself — they’re practical. A trip or event ended and the premium cameras aren’t needed daily anymore, someone forgot they’d started a monthly plan and wants to stop the recurring charge, or a household is trimming subscriptions across several apps at once. None of these require anything more complicated than the steps above; there’s no retention flow, no “are you sure” survey, and no need to contact support just to stop billing.
Common Mistakes When Cancelling
- Deleting the app instead of cancelling. Removing OldRoll from your phone does not cancel a subscription — Apple or Google will keep billing you until you cancel through the Subscriptions menu directly.
- Looking for a cancel button inside OldRoll. Because billing runs through the App Store or Google Play, there’s nothing to cancel from within the app’s own settings.
- Cancelling right before a trip or project. If you cancel mid-cycle, remember premium access continues until the paid period actually ends — you don’t need to time it precisely.
If the Subscription Won’t Cancel
Occasionally the Subscriptions menu shows a subscription as already expired or doesn’t list OldRoll at all, even though you’re still being charged. This almost always comes down to being signed into the wrong Apple ID or Google account — double-check which account you used at the time you originally subscribed, since it’s easy to have more than one signed in across different devices. If you’re certain you’re on the right account and OldRoll still isn’t listed, Apple’s and Google’s own support channels (not OldRoll’s developer) are the right place to investigate, since they hold the actual billing record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund after cancelling?
Cancelling stops future charges but doesn’t automatically refund the current period. For a refund, go through Apple’s request form at reportaproblem.apple.com or Google Play’s order history within its standard refund window.
What if I subscribed through a promo code or gift card?
The cancellation steps are the same regardless of how you originally paid — it’s managed through your Apple ID or Google account subscriptions page either way.
Does pausing exist as an alternative to cancelling?
Neither Apple’s nor Google’s subscription systems offer a universal “pause” feature for apps like OldRoll; cancelling and resubscribing later is the standard way to take a break.
Will I lose my edited photos if I cancel?
No. Anything you’ve already exported or saved to your device’s photo library stays there. You’ll only lose access to shoot with premium cameras going forward.
Can I switch plans instead of cancelling completely?
Yes. Both Apple’s and Google’s subscription menus let you change to a different plan tier for the same app without cancelling first — useful if you’re trying to lower your bill rather than stop using OldRoll altogether.
Do I need to contact OldRoll’s support team to cancel?
No. Because Apple and Google handle the billing relationship directly, you don’t need to email or message OldRoll’s developer to stop a subscription — the Subscriptions menu on your device is the only step required.
What if I subscribed as part of a family sharing plan?
If a subscription was purchased under Apple’s Family Sharing or a similar Google account arrangement, only the account holder who originally made the purchase can cancel it — a family member using a shared subscription won’t see a cancel option on their own device for a plan someone else bought.
