What is Story TV
Service overview
Story TV is a subscription streaming service offering short dramas, series and related video content targeted at mobile viewers in India.
The platform uses paid plans with trial offers and recurring billing tied to app stores or in‑app payments.
How subscriptions work
Subscriptions are usually billed through the store you used to subscribe (Apple App Store or Google Play) or via the app's in‑app payment system.
Uninstalling the app or deleting a profile does not automatically stop recurring charges; you must cancel the subscription explicitly.
How to cancel Story TV
Cancel via Apple App Store (iOS)
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name (Apple ID).
- Go to Subscriptions, find Story TV and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Note: Deleting the app will not cancel the subscription. See official guidance: Storytel support - cancel subscription.
Cancel via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play app → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select Story TV from the list and tap Cancel subscription, then follow prompts.
- Make sure you receive confirmation from Google Play that the subscription is cancelled.
Cancel inside the Story TV app
- Open the Story TV app and go to your Profile or Account section.
- Look for "Premium Plan Settings" or "Cancel Plan" and follow the in‑app cancellation steps.
- If you cannot find the option, check the app store subscription list or contact support.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel before the renewal date, you typically retain access for the remainder of the paid period.
Access ends when the current billing cycle expires; you will not be charged again after cancellation takes effect.
Data and account status
Cancelling a subscription does not necessarily delete your account or content history.
If you want account deletion, look for separate account or delete options in the app and confirm whether deletion affects future billing.
Will I get a refund?
Default refund policy
Story TV purchases and subscriptions are generally treated as final sale and non‑refundable except in limited circumstances.
Official reports and user accounts indicate refunds are rarely granted as a rule.
Exceptions and processing
- Refunds may be considered for duplicate charges, incorrect amounts, unauthorized activations, or technical errors.
- Approved refunds (if any) may take several business days to process; one source cites 7 - 10 business days.

Optional supporting items
- Screenshot of the app's account or "Premium Plan Settings" showing active subscription.

Common mistakes
Uninstalling instead of cancelling
Many users assume deleting the app stops billing. Uninstalling will not cancel subscriptions billed through Apple or Google.
Always check the store subscription list and cancel there if that is where you subscribed.
Missing the trial renewal
Trials priced at a nominal amount (for example ₹1 for 3 days) can auto‑renew to the regular plan (e.g., ₹599 for 3 months) if not cancelled before the trial ends.
Set a calendar reminder before trial expiry and verify cancellation through the billing platform.
