This guide walks you through canceling your Bumble Premium subscription on both iPhone and Android devices. You’ll learn the exact steps to stop auto-renewal, avoid being charged again, and what to do if the cancellation doesn’t go through the first time. Before you start, make sure you know which platform you originally subscribed through—Apple App Store or Google Play—because that determines where you must cancel.
What You’ll Need
- Your iPhone or Android phone with the Bumble app installed.
- The Apple ID password or Google Play password associated with your subscription.
- Access to the email account linked to your Bumble profile (for confirmation).
Step-by-Step
If you subscribed on an iPhone (via Apple App Store)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Tap Subscriptions. (If you don’t see it, tap iTunes & App Store, then tap your Apple ID and select View Apple ID; you may need to sign in with Face ID or your password.)
- Find Bumble in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Bumble, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted. You should see a message that the subscription will end on the current billing date.
- Go back to the Bumble app and check that your Premium features are still active until the end of the billing period, but no further renewals will occur.
If you subscribed on an Android (via Google Play)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions.
- Find Bumble in the list.
- Tap Bumble, then tap Cancel subscription.
- Choose a reason for canceling (optional) and tap Continue.
- Confirm the cancellation. You’ll see a message that you’ll keep access until the end of the billing period.
If you subscribed directly on Bumble’s website (rare)
- Open the Bumble app and go to your Profile (the gear icon).
- Tap Manage Subscription or Premium.
- Follow the on-screen link to cancel. You may need to log in to your Bumble account on a web browser.
Common Mistakes
- Deleting the Bumble app instead of canceling the subscription. This does not stop the automatic renewal—you’ll still be charged.
- Turning off auto-renew in the Bumble app settings. Bumble’s in-app settings may show a toggle, but the actual cancellation must be done through Apple or Google, depending on where you subscribed.
- Confusing the billing platform. If you subscribed on an iPhone but later switch to Android, you must cancel through Apple, not Google Play, and vice versa.
- Waiting until the last day. Cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing cycle, so canceling a day before renewal still means you’ll be charged once more if you don’t cancel early enough.
Tips
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid any processing delays.
- After canceling, take a screenshot of the confirmation screen for your records.
- Check your email for a confirmation from Apple or Google. If you don’t receive one within a few minutes, the cancellation may not have gone through.
- If you’re still within the free trial period, canceling immediately prevents any charge when the trial ends.
- You can continue using Bumble Premium until the end of the paid period—canceling doesn’t revoke access immediately.
Troubleshooting
You don’t see Bumble in your Subscriptions list. This usually means you subscribed through a different platform than the one you’re checking. If you’re on an iPhone, check the App Store’s subscription page; on Android, check Google Play. If you still can’t find it, you may have subscribed via the Bumble website—check your email receipts for the payment processor.
The Cancel button is grayed out. This can happen if the subscription has already expired or if there’s a pending payment. Try force-closing the Settings or Play Store app and reopening it. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support or Google Play Support directly.
You canceled but were still charged. First, verify the cancellation confirmation email. If you canceled after the renewal date, the charge may be for the next cycle—contact Apple or Google for a refund. If you canceled before, but were charged anyway, reach out to the respective store with your confirmation details.
You can’t remember which email or Apple ID you used. Check your bank or credit card statement for the charge—it will show whether it was processed by Apple or Google. Then log in to that account to manage the subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
