Should you contact MyFitnessPal first?

Use this MyFitnessPal check to choose between an official account action and help preparing a clearer follow-up.

  1. Confirm the billing owner before canceling

    • To cancel a MyFitnessPal Premium subscription, you must turn off auto-renewal on the same platform where you originally subscribed—MyFitnessPal’s website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. This stops the next billing charge while letting you keep Premium features until the end of your current paid period, after which your account continues on the free version.
    • MyFitnessPal requires that you manage and cancel Premium on the platform where you first upgraded: subscriptions bought on the website are canceled in MyFitnessPal’s web Settings, iOS purchases are canceled through your Apple ID subscriptions, and Android purchases are canceled in Google Play. MyFitnessPal cannot directly cancel or refund Apple or Google Play subscriptions.
    • MyFitnessPal treats Premium purchases as generally non-refundable, and refund authority may rest with Apple or Google for in-app purchases. Canceling stops future renewals but normally does not generate a pro-rated refund for the time remaining in the current billing period.

  2. Keep enough proof for a focused follow-up

    • Save the confirmation, effective date, and billing receipt.
    • Capture the plan, renewal date, and company shown on the receipt.
    • Challenge only a specific unresolved charge or cancellation result.

MyFitnessPal support channels

Know which channel fits before you spend time repeating the same story.

  • Web

    Use the MyFitnessPal website in a browser, sign in to the account that currently has Premium, and turn off auto-renewal in your Premium Subscription Settings so the plan expires at the end of the paid period instead of renewing.

  • iOS

    If you upgraded to MyFitnessPal Premium through the iOS app, Apple bills you through your Apple ID. You must cancel in the iOS Settings subscriptions area; MyFitnessPal support cannot access or directly change that subscription for you.

  • Google Play

    If you purchased MyFitnessPal Premium in the Android app, Google Play manages the subscription. You need to cancel from your Google Play account’s Subscriptions screen; MyFitnessPal cannot directly modify or refund that Google Play billing.

How Pine helps with MyFitnessPal

A practical workflow for moving from a messy support problem to a clear request.

  1. Step 01

    Open the account that owns Premium

    In a desktop or mobile browser, go to myfitnesspal.com and sign in with the same email and password you use in the app. Confirm that you see Premium features on your account so you know you are managing the subscription that is actually being billed.

  2. Step 02

    Open Premium or subscription settings

    From the top navigation bar, click “My Home,” then select “Premium” to open the Premium details page. On that page, look to the upper-right corner and choose “Subscription Settings” to view controls for your Premium renewal.

  3. Step 03

    Choose Cancel renewal

    Within Subscription Settings, locate the Auto-Renewal option and change it from “On” to “Off.” This turns off the next recurring charge so your Premium subscription will simply end at the conclusion of the current billing period.

  4. Step 04

    Keep the expiration confirmation

    After you switch Auto-Renewal off, confirm that the page now indicates Premium will end or expire at the current period’s end rather than renew. Consider taking a screenshot or saving any on-screen confirmation so you have a record that renewal has been canceled.

MyFitnessPal FAQs

Short answers for the questions people usually ask before starting.

No. MyFitnessPal’s Terms explain that when your Premium subscription ends, your account remains and becomes a free subscription, and the Premium overview notes that your accumulated friends, favorite foods, and diary history stay in place. Canceling Premium changes which features you can use but does not erase your logged data.
After you turn off auto-renewal on the correct platform, check the subscription status there: on the website, Subscription Settings should show that auto-renewal is Off; in Apple or Google Play subscriptions, MyFitnessPal should appear as canceled or set to expire. You will keep Premium until that listed end date but should not see further renewals.
No. MyFitnessPal’s Terms state that deleting the app from your device does not cancel your subscription, and deleting your account may not cancel billing on every platform. You must cancel Premium through the same place you subscribed—Apple, Google Play, or the MyFitnessPal website—before uninstalling the app or requesting account deletion.
Premium features continue until the end of your current billing period. The Terms explain that cancellation or downgrade takes effect at period end, and you maintain access until then. After that date, your account becomes a free subscription and Premium-only tools—such as enhanced nutrition analysis—are no longer available.
MyFitnessPal does not describe a pause feature for Premium. Instead, the Terms explain that your subscription auto-renews until you cancel, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. To stop ongoing charges, you turn off auto-renewal on the billing platform; there is no official mid-period pause control.
While you still have Premium, use MyFitnessPal’s file export feature. On the website, log in, go to Reports, and click Export to choose a date range and receive a ZIP file via email. The Data Export FAQ explains similar options in the iOS and Android apps for downloading meal, progress, and exercise history as CSV files.
If you do not see MyFitnessPal under Subscriptions, first confirm that you upgraded to Premium on that platform; web purchases will not appear in Apple or Google Play. Then make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID or Google account used at purchase. If you still cannot locate it, contact the relevant store or MyFitnessPal support.
MyFitnessPal’s documentation ties billing to where you upgraded, but you can effectively switch by canceling auto-renewal on your current platform and waiting for that term to end. After the subscription expires, log into the same MyFitnessPal account on the website and upgrade to Premium there so future billing is handled on the web.
