Cancel through the app or website where you started your subscription

The way you cancel depends on where you set up your subscription. If you subscribed through the Tinder app on iPhone, you cancel in Apple's settings, not in Tinder itself. If you subscribed through the Tinder app on Android, you cancel in Google Play. If you subscribed on Tinder's website using a credit card, you cancel directly on Tinder.com. Cancelling in the wrong place won't work — the subscription will keep charging.

Your subscription will stop renewing on the date it's set to renew next. You keep access to Tinder Plus, Gold, or Platinum features until that date arrives. After that date passes, your account reverts to the free version.

Key Takeaways

  • iPhone subscriptions are cancelled through Apple Settings under your Apple ID, not through the Tinder app itself.
  • Android subscriptions are cancelled through Google Play Store settings, not through the Tinder app.
  • Tinder.com subscriptions are cancelled on the Tinder website under your account settings.
  • Your paid features stay active until your next renewal date, then your account becomes free.
  • Cancelling does not delete your profile — you can resubscribe later without losing your matches or messages.

Cancel an iPhone subscription through Apple Settings

Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap your name at the top of the screen, then tap 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 Cancellation.

If you don't see Tinder in your Subscriptions list, your subscription may have already ended, or you may have subscribed through a different method (Android, website, or a different Apple ID). Check which email address is linked to your Tinder account and make sure you're signed into Settings with the same Apple ID that made the purchase.

Cancel an Android subscription through Google Play

Open the Google Play Store app. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then tap Manage Subscriptions. Find Tinder in the list and tap it. Tap Cancel Subscription, then confirm when Google Play asks you to.

If Tinder doesn't appear in your subscriptions, check whether you subscribed through a different Google account or through the Tinder website instead. You can have multiple Google accounts on one Android phone — make sure you're in the account that made the purchase.

Cancel a Tinder.com subscription on the website

Go to Tinder.com and log in. Click the profile icon in the top left corner and select Settings. Scroll down to Subscriptions and click Manage Payment Method or Cancel Subscription, depending on what option appears. Follow the prompts to cancel.

If you subscribed through Tinder.com but can't find the cancellation option, you may have subscribed through Apple or Google instead — check those platforms first. If you're still unsure, Tinder's support page lists which payment method is active on your account when you log in.

What happens after you cancel

Your paid features (Likes You, Passport, Rewind, and Boosts) stop working on your next renewal date. Your profile stays on Tinder and your matches and messages remain in your account. You can still use Tinder for free after cancellation — you just lose the paid features.

If you resubscribe later, your account picks up where it left off. You don't lose anything by cancelling. Your subscription does not auto-renew after you cancel, so you won't be charged again unless you manually resubscribe.

If your subscription won't cancel

Make sure you're cancelling in the right place. The most common reason cancellation fails is trying to cancel in the Tinder app when the subscription was set up through Apple or Google. Double-check which platform processed your payment.

If you cancelled but were still charged, contact the payment platform first: Apple Support for iPhone subscriptions, Google Play Support for Android subscriptions, or Tinder Support for website subscriptions. They can see the cancellation status and issue a refund if the charge went through after you cancelled. Keep your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot as proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cancelling delete my Tinder profile?

No. Cancelling your subscription only stops the recurring charge and removes your paid features. Your profile, matches, and messages stay in your account. You can log back in anytime and resubscribe if you want.

Can I get a refund for the current billing period?

Refund policies vary by payment platform. Apple and Google typically don't refund if you cancel after your billing date has passed, but you can request one through their support channels. Tinder's refund policy depends on how recently you were charged. Contact the payment platform that processed your charge to ask.

What if I cancel but get charged again?

Contact the platform where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or Tinder) and show them your cancellation confirmation. They can see when you cancelled and whether the charge was processed after that date. If it was, they can refund you and investigate why the cancellation didn't stop the charge.

Do I need to delete the Tinder app to cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription — you'll still be charged. You must cancel through the payment platform (Apple, Google, or Tinder.com) where you set it up. After you cancel there, you can delete the app if you want.

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Tinder does not offer a pause feature. You can only cancel or let it renew. If you want to stop paying but keep your account, cancel your subscription. Your profile will stay active and you can use the free version of Tinder.
