How to cancel Tinder Plus, Gold or Platinum
Cancel with whoever bills you, which your order number shows: MK is Apple, GPA is Google Play, TNDR is Tinder. On an iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, Tinder and Cancel Subscription. Deleting the app or the account does not cancel, and you keep your benefits until the paid period ends.




Find out who bills you
Tinder's help center gives one set of steps per biller, whichever of Plus, Gold or Platinum you have. The clue is the order number in your confirmation email.
| Order number starts with | Who bills you | Where to cancel |
|---|---|---|
| MK | Apple (you subscribed in the Tinder app for iOS) | iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions |
| GPA | Google Play (you subscribed in the Tinder app on Android) | Google Play app → profile icon → Payments & Subscriptions |
| TNDR | Tinder (you bought on Tinder.com, or paid by card or PayPal in the Android app) | Tinder.com or the Tinder app → profile icon → Manage Payment Account |
How to cancel Tinder on iPhone
Apple manages a subscription bought in the Tinder app for iOS, so the steps are the ones you use to cancel any subscription on iPhone:
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and select your Tinder subscription.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
No Cancel button, or an expiration message in red text? Apple says the subscription is already canceled. Tinder says Apple Pay and web payments are rolling out in select markets. If you subscribed that way, use the Tinder.com steps below.
How to cancel Tinder on Android
Sign in to the Google account that has the subscription, then:
- Open the Google Play app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right.
- Go to Payments & Subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Select your Tinder subscription.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the instructions.
Tinder isn't listed? Google says it may be on a different account. This is the list for every app you pay for through Google Play.
How to cancel on Tinder.com or with a card or PayPal
An order number that starts with TNDR means Tinder bills you. On the web:
- Go to tinder.com and log in.
- Tap your profile icon.
- Select Manage Payment Account.
- Find the subscription you want to cancel.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
Paid by card or PayPal in the Android app? Open the Tinder app and follow the same path: profile icon, Manage Payment Account, Cancel Subscription.
What happens after you cancel
Tinder's Terms of Use say "you will continue to have access to your subscription benefits until the end of your subscription period". Your profile stays too: "canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services".
A subscription you don't cancel in time renews at the full price shown when you bought it, and after a promotional offer "your price may go up per the terms of that offer". For an App Store trial, Apple's rule is to "cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends".
Changing your plan instead
Moving up to Gold or Platinum is a Settings option in the app. Moving down to Gold or Plus: on an iPhone, Tinder points to Apple's Subscriptions list, and the change applies once your existing subscription expires. Google Play and Tinder.com don't support downgrading: cancel, wait for the expiry, then subscribe again.
Refunds
Tinder's refund page says "While most in-app purchases are nonrefundable, some exceptions apply." The Terms add that partially used periods are not refunded, except where local law provides it. Subscribers residing in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland are entitled, under local law, to a full refund during the 14 days after the subscription begins.
For Apple or Google Play purchases, "Apple handles all refunds and cancellations for Tinder subscriptions and consumables", and Google does the same. For a TNDR order, contact Tinder from the email address used for the purchase and include the order number.
Deleting the app or the account
Tinder says "Uninstalling or deleting the app won't cancel your subscription." and "Deleting your account won't cancel an active subscription." For Apple and Google Play, the Terms say you cancel in that store account even after deleting the Tinder account or the app. The Tinder.com steps start with logging in, so cancel before you delete the account.
The mistake that keeps you paying
Switching phones and leaving the old subscription running. Tinder says "you must cancel your subscription on your old device", because subscriptions don't transfer between platforms. Can't find it? Check the order number in your confirmation email against the table.
Keeping Tinder? Know the renewal date
Subscriptions renew automatically until they're canceled. If you stay, keep the renewal date where you will see it, with a reminder before the next charge.
Keeping Tinder? Keep the renewal date
Put Tinder in Subby with its renewal date, and the reminder arrives before the charge, in time to cancel with Apple, Google Play or Tinder. Free to use, with ads, and no account or bank login.
