How to cancel Bumble on iOS, Android, or web
The way you cancel depends on which device you use and whether you subscribed through the app or Bumble's website. If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you cancel through those platforms, not through Bumble itself. If you subscribed directly on Bumble's website, you cancel in your account settings. Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund money you have already paid.
On iPhone: Open Settings, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Bumble, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Android: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, choose Bumble, and tap Cancel Subscription. On web: Log into your Bumble account, go to Settings, select Subscriptions or Billing, and click Cancel.
The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You keep access to premium features until that date passes. After that, your account reverts to the free version.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation method depends on where you subscribed: through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Bumble's website directly.
- Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund money already paid for your current billing period.
- Your premium features remain active until your current billing cycle ends.
- You can resubscribe at any time; cancelling does not delete your account or matches.
- If you subscribed through an app store, you must cancel through that same store, not through Bumble.
Cancelling a subscription bought through Apple App Store
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap your name at the very top of the screen, then select Subscriptions. Scroll through the list and tap Bumble. You will see your subscription plan, the renewal date, and a red Cancel Subscription button at the bottom. Tap it and confirm.
Apple will ask you to choose a reason for cancellation — this is optional and does not affect the cancellation itself. After you confirm, you will receive an email from Apple confirming the cancellation. Your Bumble account remains active and you keep your matches, but premium features turn off when your current period ends.
Cancelling a subscription bought through Google Play
Open the Google Play app on your Android phone. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Payments and Subscriptions. Tap Subscriptions, find Bumble in the list, and tap it. Select Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice. Google will show you the date your subscription ends.
You will receive a confirmation email from Google. If you have multiple subscriptions through Google Play, you can manage them all in the same place. Cancelling one does not affect the others.
Cancelling a subscription bought directly from Bumble's website
Log into your Bumble account on a web browser. Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner and select Settings. Look for a section called Subscriptions, Billing, or Account. Click the option to view or manage your subscription.
You will see your current plan, renewal date, and payment method. Click Cancel Subscription or a similar button. Bumble will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with cancellation. After you confirm, you will receive an email confirmation.
What happens after you cancel
Your account does not close. Your profile, matches, and messages stay in place. You can log back in at any time and use the free version of Bumble. If you want to use premium features again, you can resubscribe whenever you choose.
Premium features you lose access to after cancellation include unlimited likes, the ability to rematch with expired connections, and priority visibility in other users' stacks. The exact features depend on which paid tier you had (Boost, Premium, or Premium+). Free features like swiping and messaging remain available.
If you do not see a cancel option
If you subscribed through an app store but are looking for a cancel button in the Bumble app itself, you will not find one. App Store and Google Play subscriptions can only be cancelled through those platforms. Bumble's in-app settings do not have a cancellation option for app store subscriptions.
If you subscribed on the Bumble website but cannot find the subscription section in Settings, try logging out and logging back in. Sometimes the page needs to refresh. If you still cannot locate it, contact Bumble support through the app or website and provide your email address and subscription details.
Refunds and billing questions
Bumble does not refund charges for time already paid. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access to premium features until your renewal date. If you were charged twice or believe you were charged in error, contact Bumble support or the payment platform (Apple, Google, or your credit card company) directly.
Apple and Google both have their own refund policies separate from Bumble's. If you request a refund through Apple or Google within a certain window (usually 15 days), they may grant it even if Bumble would not. Contact the payment platform's support team to ask about your specific charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will cancelling delete my Bumble account?
No. Cancelling your subscription only stops the charges and removes premium features. Your account, profile, and matches remain. To delete your account entirely, you must do that separately in Settings under Account or Profile.
Can I cancel my subscription and then resubscribe later?
Yes. You can cancel at any time and resubscribe whenever you want. There is no penalty for cancelling and coming back.
What if I subscribed through the app but want to cancel on the website?
You must cancel through the same platform where you subscribed. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel there. Cancelling through Bumble's website will not work for app store subscriptions.
How long does it take for the cancellation to go through?
Cancellation is immediate, but your premium access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. You will receive a confirmation email right away.
Can I get a partial refund if I cancel before my billing cycle ends?
Bumble does not offer partial refunds. However, Apple and Google sometimes grant refunds if you request one within their refund window, which is usually around 15 days from the charge date. Contact them directly to ask.
