How to cancel Tinder on iOS, Android, or web

The method you use depends on which device you subscribed on. Tinder subscriptions are tied to your payment method — Apple ID, Google Play, or a credit card you entered directly on Tinder's website. You must cancel through the same system you used to pay.

If you subscribed through Apple ID on an iPhone or iPad, you cancel in the App Store settings, not in Tinder itself. If you subscribed through Google Play on Android, you cancel in Google Play settings. If you entered a credit card directly on Tinder's website or app, you cancel in your Tinder account settings under billing.

Cancelling stops future charges immediately, but your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. You keep access to paid features (Tinder Plus, Gold, or Platinum) until that date passes.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through the payment system you used: Apple ID settings for iPhone, Google Play settings for Android, or Tinder account settings if you paid by credit card.
  • Cancelling stops future charges right away, but you keep your subscription features until your current billing period ends.
  • If you subscribed on one device but want to cancel on another, you may need to use the original device or log into your account on the web.
  • Tinder does not offer refunds for the current billing period, even if you cancel mid-month.
  • Your matches, messages, and profile stay on your account after cancellation, and you can resubscribe later without losing anything.

Cancel on iPhone or iPad through Apple ID

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap your name at the top, then select Subscriptions. Find Tinder in the list and tap it. Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen. Apple will ask you to confirm; tap Confirm Cancel.

If you do not see Tinder in your subscriptions list, you may have subscribed through a different payment method. Check your Tinder account settings directly, or look in Google Play if you also use Android. Some older subscriptions may appear under a different name if Tinder changed its billing structure.

Cancel on Android through Google Play

Open the Google Play app. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Payments and subscriptions. Tap Subscriptions. Find Tinder and tap it. Tap Cancel subscription. Google will ask you to confirm your reason for cancelling; select one and tap Cancel Subscription again.

Your subscription remains active through the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged again after that date. Google Play will send you a confirmation email to the address associated with your Google account.

Cancel on the Tinder website or app using a credit card

Log into your Tinder account on the web or in the app. Tap your profile icon, then select Settings. Scroll to Subscriptions and tap Manage My Subscription. Tap Cancel Subscription. Tinder will show you the date your current subscription ends; confirm the cancellation.

If you do not see a Manage My Subscription option, you subscribed through Apple ID or Google Play instead. Return to those settings to cancel. Tinder will send you a confirmation email once the cancellation is processed.

What happens after you cancel

Your paid features stop working on the day your billing period ends. You will return to the free version of Tinder, which includes basic swiping and messaging. Any Tinder Plus, Gold, or Platinum features you were using will no longer be available after that date.

Your matches, messages, and profile remain on your account. You can resubscribe at any time and your account will be the same as you left it. Tinder does not delete your data when you cancel, so you will not lose any conversations or connections you made while subscribed.

If you cannot find your subscription to cancel

Check all three payment systems. Log into your Apple ID settings, Google Play settings, and your Tinder account settings. Your subscription is tied to whichever one you used when you first paid. If you subscribed years ago, you may have forgotten which method you chose, or you may have changed devices since then.

If you still cannot locate it, contact Tinder support through the app or website. Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Contact Support. Describe that you want to cancel your subscription and cannot find the option. Tinder support can tell you which payment system holds your subscription and walk you through cancelling it. Response times typically range from one to three business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Tinder and the payment systems (Apple, Google) do not refund unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel on the 15th of a month-long billing cycle, you lose the remaining 15 days of payment. You keep access to paid features until your billing period officially ends.

Can I cancel on a different device than the one I subscribed on?

If you subscribed through Apple ID or Google Play, you must cancel in those settings on the same type of device (iPhone for Apple ID, Android for Google Play). If you subscribed by credit card through Tinder directly, you can cancel from any device by logging into your Tinder account on the web.

What if I want to pause instead of cancel?

Tinder does not offer a pause feature. You must cancel to stop charges. You can resubscribe later without penalty, and your account will be restored with all your matches and messages intact.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

After you confirm cancellation, you should see a confirmation message on screen. Check your email for a receipt from Apple, Google, or Tinder confirming the cancellation. You can also log back into your subscription settings to verify the cancellation is listed.
