What is Unroll.Me
Overview
Unroll.Me is a service that helps users declutter their email inbox by identifying subscription emails, allowing quick unsubscribes, and consolidating chosen subscriptions into a single daily digest called the "Rollup".
The service connects to your email account to scan subscription messages and offers tools to unsubscribe, archive, or include subscriptions in the Rollup digest.
Core functions
Unroll.Me automates subscription management so you can reduce inbox noise and view selected subscriptions in one place.
It operates as a web app and mobile app (iOS/Android) and requires access to your mailbox to perform its functions.
How to cancel Unroll.Me
Cancel on the web (desktop)
- Log in at Unroll.Me with the email account you connected.
- Open the top-right menu where your email account appears and choose "Settings".
- Select "Delete My Account" and follow prompts; you will receive a 6-digit verification code to confirm deletion.
- Enter the 6-digit code to complete account deletion.
Cancel in the mobile app (iOS / Android)
- Open the Unroll.Me app and tap your profile picture to open account options.
- Go to "Mailboxes", select the account, then tap "My Account".
- Choose "Delete Account" then "Delete My Account" and confirm to remove the account.
Important note about app-store subscriptions
- Cancelling via the App Store or Google Play does not by itself delete your Unroll.Me account or stop Unroll.Me from accessing your mailbox.
- To stop processing and remove access, you must delete the Unroll.Me account using the web or in-app deletion steps above.
For the official deletion steps, see Unroll.Me support: How do I delete my Unroll.Me Account?
What happens when you cancel
Access and processing
Account deletion removes Unroll.Me access to your mailbox and stops future processing of subscription messages for that account.
After deletion, Unroll.Me should no longer collect or process new emails from that mailbox.
Data retention and residual effects
Some labels, filters or mailbox actions Unroll.Me created (for example labels or archived messages) may remain in your email provider and require manual cleanup.
If you notice persistent labels or filters after deletion, remove them directly in your email provider settings.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and digital services
Under the South African Consumer Protection Act (CPA), buyers of goods from distance or online often have a cooling-off period, but rules differ for digital services.
Digital services that are delivered immediately or where the service has already been provided may not qualify for the standard cooling-off period.
Practical steps and enforcement
- There is no statutory 14-day right-of-cancellation for digital subscription services unless it is specified in the contract.
- If you believe your CPA rights were breached, you can approach the National Consumer Commission for guidance or dispute resolution.

Reviewers on business review platforms note time savings from bulk unsubscribing and a straightforward user interface.

Other complaints include privacy concerns and residual labels or filters remaining after account deletion; these issues have been raised on review platforms.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before cancelling
- Email address you used to sign up for Unroll.Me.
- Access to that mailbox to receive the 6-digit verification code required for web deletion.
- Screenshots or receipts if you plan to request a refund or dispute charges.
What to keep after cancellation
- Confirmation that the account was deleted (take a screenshot of the final confirmation screen).
- Copies of any correspondence with Unroll.Me support or [email protected].
Common mistakes
Relying on app-store cancellation only
Many users assume cancelling via App Store or Google Play removes Unroll.Me access. That does not delete your Unroll.Me account or stop mailbox processing.
Always delete the account through the Unroll.Me app or web console to remove access.
Expecting an automatic refund or immediate cleanup
Expecting a standard refund or that all mailbox labels/filters will be reversed automatically can lead to surprise.
If Unroll.Me created labels or filters, plan to remove them manually in your email provider after deletion.
