How to Cancel Bumble (2026)
Quick answer
Cancel Bumble (Boost, Premium, or Premium+) on the same platform you used to pay. Subscribed in the iPhone app? Cancel in iOS Settings > Subscriptions. On Android? Cancel in the Google Play Store. Paid on bumble.com? Cancel on the website. Deleting the Bumble app does NOT cancel โ Apple or Google keeps charging you. You keep your paid perks until the end of the current billing period.
How to cancel Bumble, step by step
Apple (iPhone / iPad)
- 1Open Settings and tap your nameOpen the iOS Settings app and tap your Apple ID (your name at the very top of the screen). This is where Apple manages every subscription billed through the App Store.
- 2Tap SubscriptionsTap 'Subscriptions' to see the full list of active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- 3Select Bumble and cancelFind 'Bumble' in the list, tap it, then tap 'Cancel Subscription' and confirm. If you don't see a Cancel button, the subscription is already set to expire.
- 4Note: deleting the app is not enoughRemoving the Bumble app from your phone does not stop billing. The payment agreement is with Apple, so you must cancel here.
Google Play (Android)
- 1Open the Google Play StoreOn your Android device, open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- 2Go to Payments & subscriptions > SubscriptionsTap 'Payments & subscriptions', then 'Subscriptions' to see everything billed through Google Play.
- 3Select Bumble and cancelTap 'Bumble', then 'Cancel subscription', and follow the prompts to confirm.
Online (bumble.com website)
- 1Sign in at bumble.comOpen bumble.com in a web browser and log in with the account whose subscription you want to cancel.
- 2Open your subscription settingsClick your profile icon, then go to Settings and find 'Manage your subscription' (or 'Manage your Boost' / 'Manage your Premium' depending on your plan).
- 3UnsubscribeClick 'Cancel subscription' (or 'Unsubscribe' beneath the subscription summary) and confirm. Only use the website if you originally paid directly on Bumble's site, not through Apple or Google.
โฐ Deadline
Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Subscriptions renew automatically, so a late cancellation will not stop the next charge.
๐ต Fees
No cancellation fee. You simply stop the next renewal; you are not locked into a contract.
โฉ๏ธ Refunds
Bumble generally does not refund charges once they have been billed. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund the current period โ and you keep your paid features until that period ends.
Retention traps to expect
- Deleting the Bumble app does not cancel anything โ if Apple or Google handles your billing, they keep charging until you cancel in their settings.
- You must cancel on the exact platform you paid on (iOS Settings, Google Play, or bumble.com); guessing wrong leaves the charge running.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal โ a late cancellation still lets the next charge through, and Bumble does not refund a billed period.
The bottom line on cancelling Bumble
Bumble is not hard to cancel, but the number one trap is deleting the app and assuming that ends it โ it does not. If Apple or Google handles your billing, the payment agreement is with them, so they keep charging until you cancel in iOS Settings or the Google Play Store, not inside Bumble.
Cancel on the exact platform you paid on: iOS Settings > Subscriptions, Google Play, or bumble.com if you paid directly on the site. Do it at least 24 hours before renewal, since a late cancellation will not stop the next charge and Bumble does not refund a period once billed. You keep Boost or Premium perks until that period ends.
