How to Cancel Bumble on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple. Deleting the app does nothing.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. Do not open the Bumble app itself, as Apple handles the billing.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID name at the very top of the list. It usually has your profile photo next to it.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see it, look under 'Media & Purchases'. It might take a second to load.
4 Choose Bumble
Find Bumble in the list of active subscriptions. If it is not there, you likely subscribed via the website or Google Play.
5 Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription. You might have to confirm your choice. Once done, it should say 'Expires on [Date]' instead of 'Renews'.
How to Cancel Bumble on Android
Android users usually pay via Google Play. Here is how to stop the auto-renewal.
1 Open Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app. Make sure you are signed into the correct Google account used for the purchase.
2 Tap Profile Icon
Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu list.
4 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions to view your active list.
5 Cancel Bumble
Select Bumble and tap Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Google might ask why you are leaving, just pick any reason.
How to Cancel Bumble on Desktop or Laptop
If you used a credit card directly on the site (or via Stripe/SMS), you must cancel via a web browser. The mobile app settings often redirect you here anyway.
1 Log In
Go to the Bumble website and sign in to your account.
2 Access Profile Settings
Click your profile photo in the top left corner of the screen.
3 Manage Boost or Premium
Look for the Manage your Boost or Manage your Premium link in the lower left of the screen.
4 Unsubscribe
Select Unsubscribe underneath the summary of your subscription. You will still have access until the current period ends.
What is Bumble Cancellation Policy
Bumble is pretty strict. Generally, all purchases are non-refundable. If you cancel, your subscription stops auto-renewing, but you keep access to Premium features until the billing cycle finishes. No pro-rated refunds. Period. This is a common complaint on Trust Pilot, where users realize too late that deleting the app does not stop the charges. If you live in certain regions like the EU or UK, you might have a 14-day cooling-off period, but for US users, once you pay, that money is usually gone.
Before You Cancel Bumble: What You Should Know
There are no cancellation fees, but timing matters. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid getting hit with another charge. Also, cancelling your subscription does not delete your profile or data. Your profile remains visible to other users unless you manually delete the account in settings. If you just want a break, you can use 'Snooze' mode, but that does not pause billing on active subscriptions. You have to cancel to stop paying.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Bumble Subscription?
Struggling to find the button? You are not alone.
- Check the Platform: The most common issue is trying to cancel on the wrong device. If you bought it on iPhone, you cannot cancel it on the Android Play Store or the website. You must go to the original source.
- SMS/Carrier Billing: If you paid via mobile carrier billing, you might need to follow specific instructions in the confirmation SMS you received when you signed up.
- Cache Issues: If the website button is not loading, try opening an Incognito/Private window. Weirdly, this fixes the 'missing button' glitch for many users.
- Contact Support: If all else fails, use the feedback form on their site, but expect a delay.
