Cancel Tinder Gold through Apple, Google Play, or the Tinder website. Most subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google. No refunds on unused periods.

Quick answer

Most Tinder subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google Play. Cancel on iPhone: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Tinder. On Android: Google Play > Subscriptions > Tinder. For web-billed subscriptions: account.gotinder.com > Manage Payment Account.

Overview

Tinder billing works differently from most subscriptions. On mobile, Apple or Google handles the charge, not Tinder directly. This means you have to cancel in the right place or the subscription keeps renewing.

TL;DR

  • iPhone users: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Tinder > Cancel
  • Android users: Google Play > Subscriptions > Tinder > Cancel
  • Web subscribers: account.gotinder.com > Manage Payment Account
  • Applies to Tinder+, Tinder Gold, and Tinder Platinum
  • No refunds on unused subscription periods
  • Free Tinder account is unaffected by canceling Gold
