How to cancel Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat and get your money back
Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat is a Lifestyle app by Tinder LLC. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 100 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.

This will get you contacts but their goal is to keep charging you and keeping you on the hook. They specifically write the algo to not let you find a match so you keep paying.
The app is flooded with scammers and fake profiles. Probably organized crime gathering your data and personal information who harass you and demand money from you. If you refuse or make a snarky remark in response they mass report you and utilize the app’s own rules and algorithms to ban you. Don’t bother appealing, they will just ban you whilst doing nothing about the waves of grifters, beggars and other users makin…
A gold or platinum account used to get you 5 Super Likes a day. Now it’s 3 a week. My account was grandfathered for a while, but I lost that when I changed billing cycle. I didn’t cancel or downgrade my account. I just switched from annual to 6 months…and I’m on Platinum. Swiping can be fun, but hardly anyone matches or replies. If you actually manage to meet someone off this app, consider yourself lucky.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
