Trying to cancel Tinder? Avoid the runaround.
Can you cancel your Tinder subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
You can cancel a Tinder subscription (Plus, Gold, or Platinum) at any time. There are no long-term contracts locking you in. Cancelling simply turns off auto-renewal so you won’t be billed again.
- Cancel anytime: All tiers (Plus, Gold, Platinum) can be cancelled whenever you choose.
- Cancel where you subscribed: You must cancel using the same platform you used to pay:
- Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad) → cancel in Apple subscriptions
- Google Play (Android) → cancel in Google Play subscriptions
- Tinder direct (credit card/PayPal via Tinder app or website) → cancel inside Tinder
- Deletion ≠ cancellation: Deleting the app or your Tinder account does not stop billing. You must cancel the subscription first.
- Bans or account deletion: A ban or deleting your profile does not automatically end billing. - cancellation is still required.
- After cancelling: You keep paid benefits until the end of the current billing period.
How to cancel a Tinder subscription, service or order
If you subscribed on iPhone (Apple App Store)
- Open Settings → tap your Apple ID.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Tinder (Plus/Gold/Platinum).
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- Check the status shows Expires on [date] (not “Renews”).
If you subscribed on Android (Google Play)
- Open Google Play Store.
- Tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select Tinder.
- Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.
- Verify it now shows an expiration date.
If you subscribed directly with Tinder (credit card/PayPal)
- In the Tinder app (Android): Profile → Manage Payment Account → select your plan → Cancel Subscription.
- On Tinder.com (web): Log in → Profile → Manage Payment Account → Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation email/screen.
Tip: If the app doesn’t show the cancel option due to a glitch, try Tinder.com on a browser or cancel via your payment provider (Apple/Google/PayPal).
How long does a Tinder cancellation take?
- Cancel before renewal: To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date.
- After cancelling: Your subscription remains active until the end of the current paid period.
- Multi-month plans: 6- or 12-month plans auto-renew for another full term if not cancelled - mark the date.
- Free trials: Cancel before the trial ends or it converts to a paid plan.
- Switching devices: If you move from iOS to Android (or vice versa), cancel on the original platform (subscriptions don’t transfer).
Tinder cancellation fees and final charges – what to expect
- No cancellation fee: There’s no penalty for cancelling.
- No pro-rata refunds by default: If you cancel mid-period, you won’t get money back for unused days - you’ll keep access until the period ends.
- Common surprise charge: Forgetting to cancel before renewal. This isn’t a fee, just the normal subscription renewing.
- Banned accounts: If an account is banned, unused paid time is typically not refunded (case-by-case exceptions may occur).

Consumer experiences with Tinder cancellations
Common pitfall: Deleting the app or account without cancelling leads to continued charges.
Quick refunds when prompt: Users who contact support or the app store shortly after an unwanted charge often succeed.
Occasional bugs: Some users don’t see a cancel button; switching to Tinder.com or cancelling via Apple/Google resolves it.
