So, you're ready to break up with Tinder. It happens. Launched back in 2012, Tinder basically invented the swipe, but maybe the endless swiping has gotten old. Whether you've found your match or you're just tired of the dating app burnout everyone seems to be complaining about online, canceling should be easy. Subscriptions can run from $9.99 to a hefty $49.99 a month, so you can save up to $300 a year by cutting it loose. This guide covers how to cancel on iOS, Android, and desktop, so you can stop the charges for good.
How to Cancel Tinder on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Tinder using your iPhone, your subscription is managed directly by Apple. You can't cancel it from inside the Tinder app itself, which is a little annoying. You have to go through your phone's settings.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen to open Settings.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. This will show you all the active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Select Tinder
Scroll through the list of your active subscriptions until you find Tinder. Tap on it to open the subscription details.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a red Cancel Subscription button. Tap it and confirm your choice. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle, but it won't renew.
How to Cancel Tinder on Android
For Android users, cancellation depends on how you paid. Most people subscribe through the Google Play Store, but if you paid with a direct credit card, you'll need to use the desktop method instead.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the Google Play Store app on your Android device and open it. This is where most Android app subscriptions are managed.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open the Google Play menu.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, on the next screen, tap Subscriptions.
4 Find Your Tinder Subscription
You'll see a list of all your active subscriptions. Find Tinder in the list and tap on it to manage it.
5 Cancel Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, tap the Cancel subscription button. Google Play will ask for a reason, just pick one and confirm. Your premium features will last until the end of the current billing period.
Note: If you don't see Tinder here, you might have paid with a credit card directly. In that case, you need to cancel on the Tinder website.
How to Cancel Tinder on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling on a computer is often the most straightforward way, especially if you're not sure which mobile app store you used to sign up.
1 Go to the Tinder Website
Open your web browser and navigate to Tinder.com. This method works for subscriptions started on the website or if you paid directly with a credit card on Android.
2 Log In to Your Account
Enter your credentials to sign in to your Tinder profile.
3 Click Your Profile Icon
Once you're logged in, click your profile icon, which is usually located in the top-left corner of the screen.
4 Navigate to Manage Payment Account
From the dropdown menu or dashboard, find and click on Manage Payment Account. This section contains your billing information and subscription status.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
You should see your subscription details here. Click on Cancel or Disable Auto-Renew. Follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation. Honestly, I had to click it twice before the confirmation screen appeared, so be persistent.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- No Refunds for Forgetting: Tinder's policy is clear, they generally do not offer refunds if you forget to cancel before your renewal date. You'll have to pay for that billing cycle.
- Your Profile Stays Active: Canceling your subscription does not delete your Tinder profile. It just reverts you to a free account once the paid period ends. You can still swipe, match, and message.
- Deleting the App Isn't Enough: This is a huge one. Simply removing the Tinder app from your phone will not cancel your subscription. The charges will continue until you formally cancel through your app store or the website.
- No Pausing: Tinder doesn't offer a way to pause your subscription. You either have a premium plan or you don't.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Tinder Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Where You Subscribed: You must cancel on the same platform you used to subscribe. If you signed up on your iPhone, you have to cancel through Apple's subscriptions. If you signed up on the website, you must cancel there. The options won't appear on other platforms.
- Wrong Account: Are you logged into the correct Apple ID or Google Play account? If you have multiple accounts, you might be looking in the wrong place.
- Try a Different Browser: If the website is giving you trouble, clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito window. Sometimes the page just glitches out.
- Contact Support as a Last Resort: If nothing else works, you'll have to contact Tinder's support through their website. Be prepared for a slow response, as many users report it can take a while to hear back.
