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 Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone or iPad is managed through your Apple account, not the Tinder app. It's pretty straightforward, which is a relief. Apple forces them to make it simple.
1 Open Settings
On your iPhone, go to your Settings app. Don't look in the Tinder app itself, Apple handles the billing.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
3 Find Subscriptions
Select Subscriptions. You might have to scroll a bit to find it.
4 Select Tinder
Find and tap on your Tinder subscription from the list of active subscriptions.
5 Tap Cancel Subscription
Tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice. That's it. Your subscription will now show an expiration date instead of a renewal date.
How to Cancel Tinder Subscription on Android
Android can be a little confusing. A user on a forum mentioned, 'I canceled through Google Play but they still charged my card. Turns out I subscribed on their website years ago and forgot.' It's a mess, so make sure you know where your subscription lives before you start.
1 Check Your Payment Method
First, figure out how you paid. If you used your Google Play account, follow these steps. If you paid with a credit card directly, you need to use the website method instead.
2 Open the Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your phone.
3 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
4 Go to Subscriptions
Go to Payments & subscriptions, and then select Subscriptions.
5 Select Tinder
Find Tinder in the list and tap on it.
6 Cancel the Subscription
Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts. Weirdly, I had to tap it twice on my device for the confirmation to pop up. Just a heads up.
How to Cancel Tinder Subscription on Desktop
This is the method to use if you subscribed directly on Tinder's website with a credit card, or if you used the direct card option on the Android app. It's the catch-all for any non-Apple or non-Google Play billing.
1 Go to Tinder.com
Go to Tinder.com in any web browser and log in to your account.
2 Click Your Profile Icon
Click your profile icon, which is usually in the top corner of the screen.
3 Find Manage Payment Account
From the menu, select Manage Payment Account. They don't make this link huge, so you might have to look for it.
4 Click Cancel
Here you'll see your subscription details. Click Cancel or Disable Auto Renew. The wording can change, but the result is the same.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Confirm you want to cancel. Your premium access will continue until your current subscription period ends.
Heads up before you hit cancel. First, canceling your subscription does not delete your profile. It just reverts you to a free account. You have to delete your account separately. Second, don't expect a refund. Tinder is very clear in their terms: charges are nonrefundable. So if you get charged tomorrow, that money is likely gone. Finally, you can't 'pause' your subscription, but you can hide your profile in settings if you just need a break.
