Cancel Windscribe: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Windscribe
Overview
Windscribe is a virtual private network (VPN) service that provides encrypted internet connections, privacy tools, and features such as R.O.B.E.R.T., port forwarding, and the option for Static IPs.
It offers apps for multiple platforms, a free tier and paid Pro plans, and emphasises privacy through audited policies and RAM-only servers.
Key capabilities
Windscribe lets users mask their IP address, secure public Wi‑Fi connections, and access geo-restricted content using servers in many locations.
It also provides additional privacy controls and browser-based filtering tools within its Pro plans.
How to cancel Windscribe
Cancel if you subscribed via Apple App Store
- Open the App Store on your iPhone/iPad or visit your Apple ID subscription management on a browser.
- Find Windscribe in your subscriptions and cancel through Apple’s subscription interface; Windscribe’s website cannot cancel App Store subscriptions.
- See Windscribe's support article for reference: How to cancel a paid subscription.
Cancel if you subscribed via Google Play
- Open Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions, locate Windscribe and cancel from there.
- Do not attempt to cancel Google Play purchases from the Windscribe dashboard; use Google Play settings instead.
- Keep a screenshot or confirmation email from Google Play for your records.
Cancel if you subscribed on Windscribe’s website (Web)
- Sign in to your Windscribe account dashboard at windscribe.com and look for the auto-renew or cancel option in billing settings.
- If you do not see a cancel option, it may mean there is no active auto-billing (for example, crypto payments), so there may be nothing to cancel.
- For web cancellation guidance see: How to request a Windscribe refund and cancel.
Cancel Static IP subscriptions
- Static IP subscriptions cannot be cancelled via the dashboard like regular plans.
- Submit a request via Windscribe’s support chatbot (Garry) to escalate the cancellation to a human agent.
- Refer to Windscribe's article for Static IP and cancellation process: Windscribe cancellation guide.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service continuity
When you cancel auto‑renewal your paid access generally remains active until the end of the paid billing period.
You will retain Pro features through the paid period but access stops when the period ends unless you resubscribe.
Billing and renewals
Canceling auto-renew prevents future charges, but does not necessarily issue an immediate refund; renewals are non-refundable by Windscribe policy.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, billing and renewals are controlled by those platforms and must be managed there.
Data and account state
Windscribe keeps account settings but does not keep persistent session logs according to its audited no‑logs policy and RAM-only server deployment.
Static IPs and other add-ons may continue to incur charges if not explicitly cancelled via the correct channel.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Windscribe allows a refund of the initial subscription payment if requested within 7 days of subscription start and usage remains below 10 GB.
Renewal payments are explicitly not refundable under the standard policy.
Conditions and exceptions
- Refund eligibility usually requires that troubleshooting could not resolve the issue.
- Windscribe may request that you work with its AI assistant (Garry) or submit a support ticket before approving a refund.
- Document usage and interactions when requesting a refund to support your claim.
How to request a refund
Submit a refund request via Windscribe support and be prepared to show subscription start date, limited usage (<10 GB) and any troubleshooting steps taken.
If you purchased via Apple or Google, you may also use their refund request processes which can offer additional resolution routes.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Local protections
Nigerian consumer protection norms expect digital services to provide fair cancellation and refund mechanisms.
Windscribe’s 7‑day/10 GB refund window is a defined minimum right under those expectations.
Platform protections
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, you also have the platforms’ cancellation and refund safeguards, which may offer additional remedies.
Keep transaction receipts and correspondence to support any claim through those platforms.
Escalation options
If Windscribe or its agents do not process cancellations/refunds properly, you may escalate to Nigerian authorities such as the Consumer Protection Council.
You can also use platform dispute mechanisms (Apple/Google) to lodge a formal complaint.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users often praise Windscribe for an easy-to-use interface, solid performance, and strong privacy features.
Many reviewers highlight responsive help from the AI assistant Garry and policies like audited no‑logs and open‑source apps.
Negative feedback
Some customers report difficulty obtaining refunds if they simply change their mind, describing refunds as hard to get in practice.
There are forum reports of cancellation confirmations that did not stop subsequent charges and frustration around Static IP billing visibility.
Takeaway
Overall experiences are mixed: good technical and privacy quality, but occasional customer‑service and billing friction points.
Document interactions and use the correct cancellation channel to reduce issues.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before requesting cancellation or refund
- Purchase receipt or billing confirmation showing date and amount.
- Subscription start date and plan name (Pro Monthly / Pro Yearly / Static IP).
- Usage evidence showing under 10 GB use if requesting a refund within 7 days.
- Screenshots of subscription entries in Apple/Google receipts if purchased via store.
- Support chat transcripts or screenshots with Garry or Windscribe support.
How to keep records
- Save emails and confirmation pages as PDFs or screenshots immediately after action.
- Note dates, times, and names (or bot transcripts) of any interactions for escalation.
Common mistakes
Using the wrong cancellation channel
Many users try to cancel App Store or Google Play purchases from Windscribe’s website; those subscriptions must be cancelled through the platform that billed you.
Example: cancelling on windscribe.com will not stop an App Store renewal.
Forgetting about Static IPs and add‑ons
Static IPs and certain add‑ons do not always appear in the same dashboard location and may continue billing if not explicitly cancelled through support.
Example: a customer cancelled the main plan but overlooked a Static IP that kept renewing.
Assuming renewals are refundable
Renewals are typically not eligible for refunds under Windscribe’s policy, so requesting a refund after a renewal often fails.
Example: waiting until after a renewal charge to request a refund without meeting the 7‑day/10 GB rules.
