So, how is this cancelling unconfirmed RBF works? I know that I can cancel a tx if the input of the tx is still unconfirmed and if I update the first tx with higher fees.

The same as "increase fee", it's making use of RBF flag (replaceable) of the to-be-replaced transaction.
But that button will create a replacement txn with an output that returns the fund back to the wallet instead of the receiver's.

I've checked the version (only on Testnet).
The button is named "Cancel (double-spend)", good choice of name in order not to mislead users,
since newbies will expect that it will delete (not replace) the transaction if it's only "Cancel".

I will be waiting a week before to try the new version. It's just something I have been practising from a long time. So, how is this cancelling unconfirmed RBF works? I know that I can cancel a tx if the input of the tx is still unconfirmed and if I update the first tx with higher fees.
