Whether you’re using an iPhone, Android, or even the Bumble website, this guide will make sure you can stop those recurring charges without a hitch.
Why You Might Want to Cancel Your Bumble Subscription
Before we jump into the how-to, let’s chat about why you might be considering canceling your Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium subscription.
Bumble offers some cool perks with its paid plans, like unlimited swipes, seeing who’s already liked you, and the ability to rematch with expired connections.
But sometimes, those extra features aren’t what you need anymore. Here are a few common reasons people decide to cancel:
- You’ve Found a Match: Congrats! If you’ve met someone special, you might not need Bumble’s premium features anymore.
- Taking a Break: Dating can be exhausting, and a little pause might be just what you need.
- Budget Reasons: Subscriptions add up, and you might want to save that cash for something else.
- Not Loving the Features: Maybe the premium perks aren’t giving you the value you expected.
No matter your reason, canceling is simple, and you’ll still have access to your paid features until the end of your current billing cycle. Let’s break down the steps for different devices and payment methods.
Canceling Bumble Subscription on iPhone (iOS)
If you’re an iPhone user, your Bumble subscription is likely managed through the App Store. Apple handles all in-app purchases, so you’ll need to go through your phone’s settings to cancel. Here’s how:
- Open Settings: Find the Settings app on your iPhone’s home screen (it’s the one with the gear icon).
- Tap Your Name: At the top of the Settings menu, you’ll see your name or Apple ID. Tap it.
- Go to Subscriptions: Scroll down and select “Subscriptions.” This shows all your active subscriptions.
- Find Bumble: Look for Bumble in the list. If you don’t see it, make sure you’re signed in with the correct Apple ID.
- Cancel Subscription: Tap Bumble, then hit “Cancel Subscription.” Follow any prompts to confirm.
Once canceled, you’ll get a confirmation, and your subscription won’t renew. You can still use Bumble’s premium features until the billing period ends.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open Settings |
| 2 | Tap Your Name |
| 3 | Select Subscriptions |
| 4 | Choose Bumble |
| 5 | Tap Cancel Subscription |
Pro Tip: If you don’t see a “Cancel Subscription” button, your subscription might already be canceled, or it was purchased through another platform (like Google Play or directly via Bumble). Double-check your payment method to be sure.
Canceling Bumble Subscription on Android
Android users, you’ve got a couple of ways to cancel, depending on how you subscribed. Most likely, your subscription is managed through the Google Play Store, but some older subscriptions might be through a credit card or PayPal directly in the Bumble app. Let’s cover both.
Option 1: Cancel via Google Play Store
- Open Google Play Store: Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap Your Profile: Find your profile picture in the top-right corner and tap it.
- Go to Payments & Subscriptions: Select “Payments & Subscriptions” from the menu.
- Select Subscriptions: Tap “Subscriptions” to see all your active subscriptions.
- Cancel Bumble: Find Bumble in the list, tap it, and choose “Cancel Subscription.” Follow the prompts to confirm.
Option 2: Cancel via Bumble App (Credit Card/PayPal)
If you subscribed directly through Bumble with a credit card or PayPal (common for older accounts), here’s what to do:
- Open Bumble App: Launch Bumble and make sure you’re logged in.
- Go to Profile: Tap the profile icon in the bottom-left corner.
- Access Subscription Details: Look for your subscription details (it’ll say “Bumble Boost” or “Bumble Premium” and show the active date).
- Tap Manage Subscription: Select “Manage Your Subscription” or “Unsubscribe.”
- Confirm Cancellation: Follow the prompts to cancel.
Quick Note: If you’re an Android user and don’t see the subscription in Google Play, try the Bumble app method. If that doesn’t work, contact Bumble’s support team for help.
Canceling Bumble Subscription on the Web
Using Bumble on your computer? You can cancel your subscription directly through the Bumble website if you subscribed there. Here’s the process:
- Visit Bumble’s Website: Go to bumble.com and log in to your account.
- Access Your Profile: Click your profile picture in the top-left corner.
- Check Subscription Status: Look for a button that says “Bumble Premium is active” or “Bumble Boost is active.”
- Cancel Subscription: Click “Cancel Premium” or “Cancel Boost” and follow the prompts to confirm.
If you subscribed via the web using a credit card or PayPal, you can also turn off auto-renewal in the “Manage Your Subscription” section under Settings.
What Happens After You Cancel?
Once you cancel your Bumble subscription, here’s what to expect:
- Access Until Billing Cycle Ends: You’ll keep your premium features (like unlimited swipes or seeing who liked you) until the current billing period is over.
- No More Charges: Your subscription won’t renew, so no more automatic charges.
- Revert to Free Version: After the billing cycle, your account switches to Bumble’s free version. You can still swipe and match, but without the premium perks.
- No Refunds for Unused Time: Bumble’s policy states that purchases are non-refundable, so you won’t get money back for the remaining time in your billing cycle.
If you’re still being charged after canceling, double-check that you canceled with the correct account (Apple ID, Google Play, or Bumble account). If the issue persists, reach out to Bumble’s support team or your app store for help.
Tips to Avoid Common Cancellation Issues
Canceling a subscription sounds simple, but sometimes things go wrong. Here are some tips to make sure everything goes smoothly:
- Check Your Payment Method: Make sure you’re canceling through the platform where you subscribed (App Store, Google Play, or Bumble directly).
- Verify Your Account: Ensure you’re logged in with the correct Apple ID, Google account, or Bumble profile.
- Look for Confirmation: After canceling, you should get a confirmation email or notification. If not, check again to make sure the cancellation went through.
- Contact Support if Needed: If you can’t find the subscription or keep getting charged, Bumble’s support team can help. Visit their Contact and FAQ page to submit a request.
| Common Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Can’t find subscription | Check correct Apple ID/Google account |
| Still being charged | Verify cancellation; contact support |
| No cancel button | Try another platform (e.g., Bumble app vs. Google Play) |
Should You Delete Your Bumble Account?
Canceling your subscription doesn’t delete your Bumble account. If you want to take a complete break from Bumble, you can delete your profile or use Snooze Mode. Here’s a quick look at both options:
- Delete Your Account:
- Go to the Bumble app, tap the profile icon, and select the gear icon (Settings).
- Scroll to “Delete Account” and follow the prompts.
- Note: This is permanent after 28 days, and you’ll lose all matches and messages.
- Snooze Mode:
- In Settings, select “Snooze Mode.”
- Choose a duration (24 hours, 72 hours, a week, or indefinitely).
- Your profile is hidden, but you can return anytime without losing data.
Important: Deleting the app or your profile doesn’t cancel your subscription. Always cancel the subscription first to avoid unwanted charges.
