How to cancel Tinybeans Private Family Album and get your money back
Tinybeans Private Family Album is a Lifestyle app by Tinybeans USA Ltd. 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 Tinybeans Private Family Album → 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.

Recent 1–2★ reviews of Tinybeans Private Family Album on the App Store, about billing:
In the most recent upgrade they removed picture captions from the upload page (which means you have to add them after you upload) and removed the dates from your pictures so when you’re uploading you can’t tell what day your picture was taken. It’s made the app so cumbersome I’m considering canceling my subscription. I hope they will fix this soon because I’ve loved Tiny Beans for the past 8 years!
The newest GUI removed the ability to see the date of the pics when uploading, captions must be made with very small pictures (hard to see which was which), and the upload button seems to have disappeared unless you do this silly dance of canceling and uploading again. Please take it back a revision for ease in use.
This app is very frustrating to use by grandparents, who are already not necessarily adept at apps on phones and other devices. I do not want to see adds and it is constantly showing them, but the only way around seeing them is to buy a subscription.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Tinybeans Private Family Album?
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 Tinybeans Private Family Album if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
