So, you're ready to break up with Bumble. Founded in 2014, Bumble changed the dating game by letting women make the first move. But maybe the game is getting old, or you've found your person. Or maybe you're just tired of the endless swiping, a feeling that's all over TikTok right now. Whatever the reason, canceling should be easy. This guide covers how to cancel on iOS, Android, and desktop. With plans ranging from $16.99 to $49.99, you could save up to $280 a year by ending your subscription. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Bumble Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone or iPad is done through Apple, not the Bumble app itself. It's a bit of a runaround, but it's how Apple handles all subscriptions. Don't get lost in the settings menu.
1 Open the Settings App
This is the main settings app for your iPhone or iPad, not the settings inside the Bumble app.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and profile picture right at the top of the Settings screen.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
You might have to scroll a little to see this option. It's where all your app subscriptions are managed.
4 Find and Tap Bumble
Find Bumble in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it to see the details.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
Tap the 'Cancel Subscription' button. You'll need to confirm your choice. If you don't see this button, it's probably already canceled and should show an expiration date.
How to Cancel Bumble Subscription on Android
For Android users, you'll be heading to the Google Play Store. It's a similar process to iOS, just in Google's world. Sometimes the Play Store app can be slow to update, so give it a second if your subscription doesn't appear right away.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that appears, select 'Payments & subscriptions'.
4 Tap 'Subscriptions'
Tap on 'Subscriptions' to see a list of all your active subscriptions through Google Play.
5 Find Bumble and Cancel
Find Bumble in the list and tap on it. Then, follow the instructions to cancel the subscription. Make sure you're logged into the correct Google Account, the one you used to subscribe. I've made that mistake before.
How to Cancel Bumble Subscription on Desktop
This is probably the most direct way to cancel. You do it right on the Bumble website. Weirdly, I found this method worked best. The mobile apps sometimes feel like they're designed to make you give up.
1 Go to Bumble.com and Log In
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Bumble website.
2 Click Your Profile Picture
Click on your profile picture, which you'll find in the top-left corner of the screen.
3 Select 'Manage your Boost/Premium'
A menu will pop up. Select the option that says 'Manage your Boost' or 'Manage your Premium'.
4 Click 'Unsubscribe'
On the next screen, you should see a small link to 'Unsubscribe' below your subscription details. Click it and follow the prompts to confirm. Honestly, I had to look twice to even find the button.
Cancel Bumble Subscription with email
Bumble doesn't have a direct support email. Instead, you have to use their online 'Contact Us' form, which you can find in their Help Center. Don't expect a quick reply. It can take a few days to hear back, and they will likely just direct you to the self-cancellation steps anyway. It's a bit of a dead end for immediate help.
Before you hit cancel, know this. Bumble won't give you a refund for any unused time. It's annoying, but it's in their terms. All purchases are final. Also, canceling your Premium or Boost subscription does not delete your profile, it just reverts you to a free account. If you want a break instead of a full breakup, try their 'Snooze' mode. It hides your profile without losing your matches.
