How to cancel Vpn Unlimited in nigeria: your complete legal guide and step-by-step process
Understanding Vpn Unlimited and why nigerians cancel
Vpn Unlimited is a virtual private network service operated by KeepSolid that encrypts your internet traffic and masks your real IP address. Whether you live in Lagos, Abuja, or any other region of Nigeria, you may have subscribed to protect your data on public Wi-Fi networks, access content restricted by geography, or maintain privacy on shared connections.
The service operates across multiple platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. You access it through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly via KeepSolid's website. Many Nigerian subscribers later decide to cancel because the cost no longer justifies the value, they have switched to a competitor, or they simply do not use the VPN regularly enough to maintain the subscription.
Cancelling a subscription you no longer need is your right as a consumer. At Yafee, we understand the frustration of navigating cancellation processes, which is why this guide walks you through every available method, refund options, and your consumer protections under Nigerian law. Yafee has helped thousands of Nigerians successfully cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover charges, and we are here to ensure you do the same.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Before you take action, you must understand the legal framework that protects you. Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018 establishes your fundamental rights as a consumer.
What the FCCPA 2018 guarantees you
Under the FCCPA 2018, you have the right to receive accurate information about products and services before purchase, the right to cancel subscription services under fair and transparent terms, and the right to seek redress if a company refuses to honour cancellation requests or continues billing after you have cancelled.
The law also protects you against unfair contract terms. If Vpn Unlimited's terms and conditions contain clauses that make cancellation deliberately difficult or obscure, you can challenge these terms as potentially unfair. Furthermore, the FCCPA 2018 requires that cancellation processes must be as easy as the signup process-if you subscribed with one click, you must be able to cancel with equivalent simplicity.
Your legal position on subscription cancellation
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel Vpn Unlimited at any time, effective immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle (depending on the subscription term). If you cancel before the renewal date, no further charges should occur. If a charge appears after cancellation, you can dispute it with your payment provider (Apple, Google, your bank, or card issuer) and file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
What to do if KeepSolid refuses to cancel
If KeepSolid or any payment platform refuses to cancel your subscription or delays your refund beyond reasonable terms, you can escalate your complaint to the FCCPC. The FCCPC has authority to investigate unfair business practices and levy penalties against companies that ignore consumer rights. You can file a complaint online at fccpc.gov.ng or contact them directly.
Yafee recommends keeping screenshots, emails, and confirmation messages throughout your cancellation process. These records become critical evidence if you later need to dispute a charge or file a formal complaint with the FCCPC.

When to cancel Vpn Unlimited and warning signs
Identifying whether cancellation is right for you helps avoid regret later.
Reasons you should cancel
You should cancel if you no longer use the VPN regularly, if you have switched to a competing service, if the cost no longer fits your budget, if connection speeds have deteriorated significantly, or if you can no longer access the features you pay for due to regional restrictions or app updates.
Reasons you might reconsider
You might reconsider if you travel to Nigeria frequently from abroad and rely on the VPN for security on public networks, if you use the service specifically to access content from outside Nigeria, or if you have upcoming travel plans within the next month. In these cases, you may defer cancellation or reduce your plan to a monthly subscription instead.
How to cancel Vpn Unlimited on iOS (iPhone and iPad)
Cancelling Vpn Unlimited on your Apple device through the App Store takes approximately three minutes and stops future billing immediately.
Step 1: open the settings app on your device
Locate the gear icon (Settings) on your iPhone or iPad home screen. Tap it to open the Settings menu.
Step 2: navigate to your apple ID account profile
At the top of the Settings menu, you will see your name or email address. Tap this area to access your Apple ID profile. If you see "Sign in to your iPhone" instead, you have not yet set up an Apple ID on this device.
Step 3: select subscriptions from the menu
Inside your Apple ID profile, scroll down and tap "Subscriptions". You will see all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID, regardless of which device you are using.
Step 4: find and tap Vpn Unlimited in your subscription list
Scroll through the list until you find "Vpn Unlimited" or "KeepSolid Vpn Unlimited". Subscription names appear alphabetically. Tap on it to open the subscription details.
Step 5: tap "Cancel subscription" to confirm
You will see the current subscription status and the next renewal date. Tap the red "Cancel Subscription" button. Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation (this is optional). Proceed with the cancellation.
Step 6: screenshot your cancellation confirmation
Apple will display a confirmation screen stating that your subscription has been cancelled and no further charges will occur. Take a screenshot of this screen immediately. This proof protects you if Apple charges your card by mistake or if you need to dispute a future charge.
Important: Deleting the Vpn Unlimited app from your device does NOT cancel your subscription. You must follow the steps above, or Apple will continue charging your payment method every billing cycle.
How to cancel Vpn Unlimited on android (Google play store)
Android users can cancel through the Google Play Store app on their phone or via a computer browser.
Step 1: open the google play store app on your phone
The Google Play Store icon appears on your home screen or in your app drawer (usually a coloured triangle). Tap it to open the store.
Step 2: tap your profile icon in the top right corner
In the top right of the Google Play Store screen, you will see your profile picture or initial inside a circle. Tap this icon.
Step 3: select "Manage subscriptions" from the menu
A dropdown menu will appear. Tap "Manage subscriptions". You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Google Play account.
Step 4: find and tap Vpn Unlimited
Locate "Vpn Unlimited" or "KeepSolid Vpn Unlimited" in the list. Tap on it to view subscription details, including your next billing date.
Step 5: tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm
You will see a "Cancel subscription" button. Tap it. Google Play will ask you to confirm and may ask your reason for cancellation (optional). Proceed with the cancellation.
Step 6: save your cancellation confirmation
Google Play will display a confirmation. Take a screenshot to prove you cancelled. The app will remain on your phone, but it will stop working after your current billing period ends.
Alternative method (computer browser): Log in to your Google Play account at play.google.com, navigate to "Manage subscriptions", find Vpn Unlimited, and tap "Cancel subscription". This method works identically to the mobile app.
How to cancel Vpn Unlimited on windows and macOS (direct subscription)
If you subscribed directly through KeepSolid's website rather than through Apple or Google, you must cancel through the KeepSolid account portal.
Step 1: visit the KeepSolid account portal
Go to my.keepsolid.com in your web browser. Enter your email address and password to log in to your account. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the recovery process.
Step 2: navigate to your subscription settings
Once logged in, look for "Subscriptions", "Billing", or "My Plans" in the account menu (usually in the left sidebar or under your profile settings). Click on this section to view your active subscriptions.
Step 3: locate your Vpn Unlimited subscription
You will see your subscription plan, billing frequency (monthly or annual), and the next renewal date. Identify your Vpn Unlimited subscription if you have multiple subscriptions.
Step 4: click "Cancel" or "Cancel subscription"
Next to your Vpn Unlimited subscription, you will see a "Cancel", "Cancel subscription", or similar button. Click it. KeepSolid may ask you to confirm and provide feedback.
Step 5: confirm the cancellation in your email
KeepSolid will send you a confirmation email within a few minutes. Check your inbox and spam folder. Open this email and verify that the cancellation is confirmed. Take a screenshot of this email as proof.
Yafee advises keeping this confirmation email indefinitely. If a charge appears months later, this email proves you cancelled on the date specified.

How to request a refund if you cancel within the refund window
If you cancel within the refund window (14 days for Apple, 48 hours for Google Play annual plans, 30 days for direct subscriptions), you can request a refund immediately after cancellation.
For Apple: Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, go to "Purchase history", find the Vpn Unlimited charge, tap it, and select "Report a problem". Choose "I would like a refund for this purchase" and explain that you cancelled the subscription.
For Google Play: Open Google Play Store, go to "Manage subscriptions", tap Vpn Unlimited, and look for a "Request refund" button. Click it and follow the prompts.
For direct KeepSolid subscriptions: Email KeepSolid support at [email protected] with your account email, proof of cancellation, and a request for a refund. State that you cancelled within the eligible refund period.
If a charge appears after you cancel
If you see a charge after your cancellation date, act immediately. Screenshot the unexpected charge. Log into your subscription account (Apple, Google, or KeepSolid) and verify the cancellation is still active. If it is, contact your payment provider to dispute the charge. Yafee recommends filing a dispute within 30 days of the erroneous charge to maximize your chances of recovery.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small missteps can leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges or disputed refunds. You are not alone if you have made these mistakes-thousands of Nigerian consumers face similar issues.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
The app deletion does nothing to stop billing. Vpn Unlimited will continue renewing and charging your payment method every month or year. Always cancel through your subscription settings first, then delete the app if you wish.
Mistake 2: cancelling through only one platform if you subscribed on multiple platforms
If you subscribed to Vpn Unlimited on both Apple and Google, you must cancel on both platforms separately. Cancelling on Apple does not cancel your Google subscription. Check all your active subscriptions and cancel each one individually.
Mistake 3: failing to screenshot your cancellation confirmation
Without proof, you cannot dispute a charge that appears after cancellation. Always take screenshots of the confirmation screen showing your subscription has been cancelled and the date this occurred.
Mistake 4: cancelling just before your renewal date without verifying the exact time
If you cancel at 11:59 p.m. on the day before renewal, and your renewal occurs at 12:01 a.m., you may still be charged. To be safe, cancel at least 48 hours before your renewal date. You can see your exact renewal date in your subscription settings.
Mistake 5: not documenting communication with KeepSolid or your payment provider
If you email support or contact your bank, save all emails and note the date, time, and name of any representative you speak with. This documentation protects you if the company later claims you never contacted them.
What happens after you cancel Vpn Unlimited
Cancellation is immediate in your account, but access expires differently depending on your subscription term and when you cancel.
Access timeline after cancellation
If you cancel mid-cycle (before your renewal date), your Vpn Unlimited access will continue until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you have a monthly subscription that renews on the 15th of each month, and you cancel on the 5th, you retain access until the 15th. After the 15th, the app will no longer function, and you will be prompted to resubscribe.
If you have an annual subscription and cancel on day 100, you keep access for the remaining 265 days until the next renewal date arrives. This is because you have already paid for the full year.
After your subscription expires
Once your subscription expires, you will no longer be able to connect to Vpn Unlimited's VPN servers. The app remains on your device but displays a message prompting you to resubscribe. You can reinstall the app later if you change your mind, but you must subscribe again to use it.
Uninstalling the app after cancellation
After your subscription has been cancelled, you can delete the Vpn Unlimited app from your device to free up storage space. You can reinstall it at any time from the App Store or Google Play Store if you decide to resubscribe.
If Vpn Unlimited or your payment provider refuses to cancel
In rare cases, a company may ignore your cancellation request or a payment platform may refuse to honour it. You have legal remedies in Nigeria.
Document everything and escalate through the company first
Before filing a formal complaint, email KeepSolid support at [email protected] (or the relevant company) with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request-Urgent". Include your account email, the date you requested cancellation, and a clear statement that you are cancelling effective immediately. Request written confirmation within 5 business days. Keep a copy of this email.
File a dispute with your payment provider
If the company does not cancel within 5 business days, or if you see a charge after cancellation, contact your payment provider immediately. If you paid via Apple, contact Apple Support. If you paid via Google, contact Google Support. If you used a bank card or transfer service, contact your bank or the payment service directly. Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged anyway, and request a refund or chargeback.
File a formal complaint with the FCCPC
If your payment provider denies your refund or chargeback, or if the company continues to bill you despite cancellation, file a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). You can submit complaints online at fccpc.gov.ng or visit their office in Abuja. Include your account details, proof of cancellation, and all communication with the company and payment provider. The FCCPC has authority to investigate and compel the company to issue a refund plus penalties.
