Cancel Tinder: Easy Method

What is Tinder

Overview

Tinder is a location-based dating app and website for meeting people, matching, and messaging. It offers free basic functionality and paid subscription tiers that add features such as unlimited likes, rewinds, and profile boosts.

Main features

Features vary by plan and platform, but commonly include swiping, matches, messaging, Passport (change location), and premium controls like hiding ads or seeing who liked you.

How to cancel Tinder

Cancel on iOS (App Store)

• Open the iOS Settings app and tap your Apple ID at the top.
• Choose Subscriptions → Tinder → Cancel Subscription.
• Note: Deleting the Tinder app does not cancel the subscription. After cancellation you keep access until the end of the paid period.
• Reference: Tinder support guidance.

Cancel on Android (Google Play)

• Open the Google Play app and tap your profile icon.
• Go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Tinder → Cancel.
• If you paid by card or PayPal via the Tinder app, you may also cancel inside the app under Manage Payment Account.
• Reference: Tinder cancellation article.

Cancel on the web (Tinder.com)

• Sign in at tinder.com, click your profile icon, choose Manage Payment Account, then Cancel Subscription.
• For web purchases made with card or PayPal, Tinder can manage the subscription directly via the site.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, you typically retain paid features until the end of your current billing period. Auto-renewal stops and no further charges will be made after that date.

Renewal and account status

Subscriptions auto-renew until actively cancelled. Cancelling does not delete your Tinder account or matches - it only stops the paid subscription unless you also delete the account.

Data and privacy

Account data (profile, messages, matches) generally remains unless you delete your account. To remove data, use the app or web settings to delete your account and follow account-removal steps.

Will I get a refund?

General refund policy

Tinder states purchases and subscriptions are generally non-refundable. Refunds or credits for partially used periods are not normally offered except where required by law.

Jurisdictional exceptions

• EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland: Subscribers have a 14-day cooling-off right and may be entitled to a full refund within 14 days of subscription start.
• Other jurisdictions may have specific consumer protections; New Zealand is not listed as having the 14-day right under Tinder's terms.

How to request a refund

• If purchased on tinder.com (card/PayPal), contact Tinder with the original order number - Tinder may assist if requested within 14 days.
• If purchased via Apple or Google Play, request refunds directly through Apple or Google, as those platforms handle refunds for in-app purchases.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Basic consumer protections

New Zealand consumers have rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act for services that are faulty, misrepresented, or not fit for purpose.

How this applies to Tinder

• Tinder's terms state purchases are generally non-refundable except where required by law, and Tinder is a foreign digital provider which can complicate enforcement of NZ guarantees.
• In-app purchases via Apple/Google are also subject to those platform policies, adding complexity to direct claims against Tinder.

Actions you can take in NZ

• Dispute wrongful billing with your bank or card issuer under NZ payment dispute processes.
• Seek redress if the service is demonstrably not of acceptable quality, but expect cross-jurisdictional limits with a US-based provider.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some users praise Tinder for a clean, easy-to-use interface and a large active user base, which can simplify meeting people online.

Common complaints

• Reports of fake/bot profiles, scams, and perceived inauthentic engagement.
• Complaints about being locked out or banned without clear explanation and difficulty getting support or appealing decisions.
• Frustration with monetisation: paying users sometimes see little benefit, disappearing likes or matches, and ongoing charges after perceived cancellation.

Documentation checklist

Essentials to collect

• Proof of purchase or receipt (Apple/Google/App-store receipt or tinder.com order number).
• Date of first charge and last charge related to the subscription.
• Payment method details (Apple ID, Google account, card, PayPal, or voucher source like Codashop).

Helpful supporting items

• Screenshots of subscription settings and cancellation attempts.
• Correspondence with Tinder support or app-store support tickets.
• Bank or card statements showing disputed charges, if needed for a dispute.

Common mistakes

Assuming deleting the app cancels the subscription

Many users delete the Tinder app thinking the subscription is cancelled. This does not stop auto-renewal; you must cancel through Apple, Google Play, or tinder.com depending on how you purchased.

Not checking which provider billed you

Users sometimes ask Tinder for refunds when Apple or Google handled the payment. Always confirm whether the charge came from Apple, Google, tinder.com, or a reseller like Codashop before requesting a refund.

Missing documentation when disputing charges

Disputes are slower or unsuccessful without receipts, order numbers, or screenshots. Keep records before contacting support or your bank.
