How to Delete Tinder Account and Cancel your Subscription

Tinder intentionally makes it difficult to delete your account, by not allowing you to do it at the same time you cancel your subscription. We’ve got the solution below for their attempt to keep you on the hook.

Tinder.com is a dating website designed to set you up with people you’ll really connect with from day one. And hopefully, one of those people will be that “special someone” with whom you’ll form a long-lasting relationship. Or you may not have any luck and want to move on to a different dating service like Tinder, such as Zoosk, POF, or Meetme.com.

Either way, if you’re finished with Tinder, you probably want to delete your Tinder account so that you don’t have to keep paying for a dating website that you’re not using. This article will walk you through the process by covering how to delete your Tinder and subscription: Saying goodbye to Tinder can be hard, but we’re right here for you. Let’s start!

How to Cancel an Tinder Subscription

The first thing you will need to do to close down your Tinder account is to turn off your subscription’s auto-renewal. If you purchased your subscription from Tinder’s website, here’s how to do that:

1. Go to Tinder.com and log into your account.

2. Click on your profile picture in the top-middle portion of the screen, and then select Account Settings from the menu that drops down.

3. Once you’re on your settings page, click Billing.

Scroll down the page and you should see the “Subscription Status” window. This will show you information like when your last subscription payment was, when your subscription will renew (including what type it will be and how much it will cost), or when your current subscription is set to expire.

From here, simply click the Cancel My Subscription button at the bottom of the window and follow the process through to the end.

How to Cancel an Tinder Subscription From iTunes

If you paid for your Tinder subscription through iTunes on your mobile device, you will have to take a different route to turn of the auto-renew function. Instead of going through the Tinder website itself, you will have to manage the subscriptions on your Apple ID account. Here’s how that works:

1. Boot up your iOS device and tap Settings.

2. Next, tap iTunes and App Store.

3. Tap your Apple ID, and then select View Apple ID from the box that pops up. You will have to enter your Apple ID account password if you aren’t already signed in.

Tap Subscriptions (or Manage Subscriptions on older versions of iOS) to view the subscriptions you manage through iTunes. Then tap Tinder.

At the bottom of the options presented, tap Cancel Subscription and then Confirm to cancel your subscription to Tinder.

On older versions of iOS, slide the button on the “Auto-Renewal” slider to the “off” position instead.

How to Delete Tinder Account When Your Subscription Expires

Once you have canceled auto-renewal for your Tinder subscription, you have to wait until your subscription expires. Then you can delete your Tinder account in a way similar to how you canceled your subscription – through your account and billing settings. To do so, simply follow these steps:

1. Go to Tinder.com in your web browser and log in.

2. From your home screen, click on your profile picture. Then, from the drop-down menu that appears, click Account Settings.

3. Once you’re on your settings page, click Billing.

4. Scroll to the “Subscription Status” window at the bottom of the page. If your subscription has expired and you have no outstanding payments, you will see the Close Account option in the bottom-right corner. Click it.

5. A box will pop up warning you of the potential consequences of deleting your account. If you still wish to continue with your account closure, click Yes, Close My Account.

The next window will confirm that your account has been closed. If you change your mind and want to re-open it, click Reactivate. Otherwise, click Log Out to finish.
