Want to cancel Tinder Gold subscription in 2024? Here’s the simple step-by-step guide for iPhone, Android, and desktop users.
Tired of paying for Tinder Gold but not getting the results you want? Or maybe you just want a break from dating apps altogether?
Either way — canceling your Tinder Gold subscription is quick and easy once you know how.
Let’s walk through how to cancel Tinder Gold step-by-step in 2024, depending on whether you're using iPhone, Android, or the desktop version.
How to Cancel Tinder Gold on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up through your iPhone’s App Store:
- Open your iPhone "Settings" app
- Tap your name at the top (Apple ID)
- Go to "Subscriptions"
- Find "Tinder" in your list
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
Important: Deleting the Tinder app does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through Apple’s settings.
How to Cancel Tinder Gold on Android
If you subscribed using Google Play:
- Open the Google Play Store
- Tap your profile icon (top right)
- Go to "Payments & Subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find "Tinder"
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
Again, just deleting the app won’t stop billing. You have to cancel properly.
How to Cancel Tinder Gold on Desktop
If you signed up through Tinder.com directly:
- Go to Tinder.com and log into your account
- Tap your profile icon (top left)
- Go to "Manage Account"
- Find "Manage Payment Account"
- Cancel your subscription there
Desktop cancellations are fast but often overlooked — so double-check where you purchased it from.
How to Check If Your Tinder Gold Subscription Was Canceled
After canceling:
- You’ll still have Gold benefits until the end of the billing cycle
- No new charges will happen after your subscription runs out
- You can always re-subscribe later if you change your mind
How to Get a Refund on Tinder Gold (Is It Possible?)
Short answer: Usually no. Tinder’s policy says subscriptions are non-refundable.
Exceptions:
- Accidental charges
- Unauthorized transactions
In those cases, you can contact:
- Apple Support if you paid through iOS
- Google Play Support if you paid through Android
- Tinder Support directly if you paid via web
But don't expect automatic refunds — it’s case-by-case.
What Happens After You Cancel Tinder Gold?
You’ll lose:
- Unlimited swipes
- See Who Liked You feature
- 1 Free Boost per month
- 5 Free Super Likes per week
- Passport to swipe anywhere globally
You’ll go back to a free Tinder account — no frills, but still functional.
