Cancel Tinder through the app or website

To stop your Tinder subscription, you need to cancel through the same platform where you started it — either the Tinder app on your phone or the Tinder website. Tinder does not process cancellations by email or phone. If you subscribed through the app, cancellation happens in your phone's settings, not in Tinder itself. If you subscribed on the web, you cancel on the web.

Your subscription will stop renewing on the date it is set to renew. If you cancel on the 15th and your renewal date is the 20th, you keep access until the 20th, then it ends. You do not get a refund for the remaining days. Cancelling does not delete your account — you can still use Tinder's free features and log back in anytime.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through your phone's app settings (Apple App Store or Google Play) or through the Tinder website, depending on where you subscribed.
  • Cancellation takes effect on your next renewal date, not when ready, so you keep paid features until that date arrives.
  • Deleting the Tinder app does not cancel your subscription — you must actively cancel through your payment method.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party account like Facebook or Google, you may need to check those platforms' payment settings as well.
  • Keep your cancellation confirmation or screenshot as proof in case charges continue after your renewal date.

Cancel on iPhone through Apple App Store

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, not the Tinder app. Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select Subscriptions. Find Tinder in the list and tap it. Tap Manage Subscription or Edit Subscription (the wording varies by iOS version). Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen. You will see a reason screen — select any reason or skip it. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

After you confirm, Apple shows you a cancellation date. This is the last day you can use your Tinder subscription. Take a screenshot of this screen for your records. The subscription will not renew after this date. If you see a message saying "Subscription Cancelled" with a date, your cancellation is complete.

Cancel on Android 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 Tinder and tap it. Tap Cancel Subscription. Select a reason if prompted, then confirm. Google Play will show you the cancellation date — take a screenshot.

Some Android phones use Samsung Galaxy Store or other app stores instead of Google Play. If you do not see Tinder in Google Play's subscription list, check which app store you used to read Tinder originally. Open that store and follow the same steps to find your subscriptions.

Cancel on the Tinder website

Go to tinder.com and log in with your account. Click the profile icon in the top left corner, then select Settings. Scroll down to the Subscriptions section. Click Manage My Subscription. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm. Tinder will show you the cancellation date.

If you subscribed through the website using a credit card, this is where you cancel. If you subscribed through the app, you must cancel through your phone's settings instead — cancelling on the website will not stop the app subscription.

What happens after you cancel

Your paid features (Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or Tinder Platinum) stop working on your renewal date. You can still use Tinder's free version — you can swipe, match, and message, but you lose features like unlimited likes, seeing who liked you, and rewinding swipes. Your matches and messages stay in your account.

If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank or payment provider first — they can often reverse it. Then contact Tinder support through the app or website with your cancellation confirmation screenshot. Tinder's support team can investigate whether the cancellation processed correctly.

If you subscribed through Facebook or Google Sign-In

If you created your Tinder account using Facebook Login or Google Sign-In, you may have a subscription tied to that account instead of directly to Tinder. Check your Facebook or Google payment settings to see if Tinder appears there. On Facebook, go to Settings and Privacy, then Settings, then Apps and Websites, then find Tinder and check Subscriptions. On Google, go to myaccount.google.com, select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions, and look for Tinder.

Cancel through whichever platform shows the active subscription. You may need to cancel in both places if you have subscriptions on multiple platforms. After cancelling, log into Tinder to confirm you no longer have paid features.

Stopping charges if cancellation did not work

If you cancelled but were still charged after your renewal date, contact your bank or credit card company when ready. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation screenshot and the date of the unwanted charge. Your bank can dispute the charge or block future charges from Tinder. This usually takes five to ten business days.

After contacting your bank, also reach out to Tinder support. Go to tinder.com, scroll to the bottom, and click Contact Support. Describe the situation and attach your cancellation screenshot. Include the charge date and amount. Tinder support can review whether the cancellation went through on their end and may issue a refund if there was an error on their side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does deleting the Tinder app cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the app does nothing to your subscription. You must cancel through your phone's settings or the Tinder website. The subscription will continue to renew and charge you until you actively cancel it through your payment method.

Can I get a refund for the days I do not use after cancelling?

No. Tinder subscriptions are non-refundable. Once you pay for a billing period, you cannot get money back for unused days, even if you cancel when ready. You keep access to paid features until your renewal date, then the subscription ends.

What if I cannot find Tinder in my subscriptions list?

Check that you are looking in the right place. On iPhone, subscriptions are in Settings, not in the Tinder app. On Android, check Google Play first, then Samsung Galaxy Store or your phone's default app store if you do not see it there. If Tinder still does not appear, your subscription may have already ended or you may be using the free version.

Will cancelling delete my Tinder account?

No. Cancelling your subscription only stops the paid features. Your account, matches, and messages remain. You can log back in anytime and use Tinder's free features. To permanently delete your account, you must go to Settings in the app or on the website and select Delete Account — this is separate from cancelling your subscription.

How long does it take for the cancellation to go through?

Cancellation is when ready once you confirm it. Your paid features will stop working on your next renewal date, which the app or website shows you right after you cancel. You do not have to wait for an email confirmation, though some platforms send one.
