How to cancel Bumble
Last verified 2026-06-16 · official source
Steps to cancel Bumble
- FIRST, identify WHERE you subscribed, because that determines the only method that works: if you signed up inside the Bumble iPhone/iPad app you are billed by Apple and must cancel in Apple settings; if you signed up in the Bumble Android app you are billed by Google and must cancel in Google Play; if you paid by card or PayPal on bumble.com you cancel on the Bumble website. Deleting the app or your Bumble profile does NOT cancel billing.
- IF BILLED BY APPLE (subscribed on iPhone/iPad): Open the iPhone/iPad Settings app (not the Bumble app), tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, tap Bumble, then tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You can also do this on the web at account.apple.com (Manage subscriptions). If there is no Cancel button or you see an expiration date, it is already canceled.
- IF BILLED BY GOOGLE (subscribed on Android): Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon (top right), tap Payments and subscriptions, tap Subscriptions, tap Bumble, then tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts. You can also do this at play.google.com under Subscriptions.
- IF YOU PAID ON THE BUMBLE WEBSITE: Go to bumble.com and log in, click your profile photo in the top left, click Manage your Premium or Manage your Boost (lower-left area), then click Unsubscribe beneath the subscription summary and confirm.
- TO CANCEL VIA THE BUMBLE APP: tap your profile icon and look for the subscription/payments section. Note that the app usually redirects you to Apple, Google, or the Bumble website depending on how you originally paid, because that is where the billing actually lives.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date, or you will be charged for the next cycle.
- Confirm it worked: re-open the same place you canceled (Apple Subscriptions, Google Play Subscriptions, or bumble.com profile) and check that it now shows an expiration date or a will-not-renew status. You keep your paid features until the end of the current billing period.
- If you cannot access your account to cancel yourself, contact Bumble support: open the Bumble app, tap your profile icon, tap the Help icon, and start a chat with Jen (Bumble's AI support agent), or use the Help Center at support.bumble.com to reach the Contact Us form.
Things to watch out for
- The cancellation method is dictated by HOW you originally paid, not by the phone you hold now. If you subscribed inside the iPhone app you MUST cancel in Apple's Settings; canceling on the website or on Android will not stop Apple's billing, and vice versa.
- Deleting the Bumble app or deleting your Bumble profile does NOT cancel a paid subscription bought through Apple or Google. The billing agreement stays with the store and you keep getting charged until you formally cancel there.
- You must cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date or you get billed for the next period. You keep premium features until the end of the cycle you already paid for.
- Refunds are limited but not impossible. Bumble's Terms say charges are generally nonrefundable except where law requires, but real exceptions exist: residents of certain US states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin) can cancel and get a refund up to midnight of the third business day after subscribing, and some users can get a partial refund of the unused portion (weekly plans within about 6 days, monthly or longer within about 14 days, minus the used portion). Renewals are generally not refundable.
- Bumble does not publish a customer support phone number. Support is via the in-app Help Hub, the Jen AI chatbot, and the Help Center Contact Us form. Treat any third-party 'Bumble cancellation phone number' (e.g. numbers like 1-512-696-1409 found on review sites) as unverified.
- There is no documented retention or save-offer discount flow in Bumble's cancellation path, so there is generally nothing to push past; just complete the steps in the correct store or site.
- Where a refund is sought, it usually goes through whoever billed you: request from Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple Support) if billed by Apple, or from Google Play if billed by Google. If you paid Bumble directly (card, Apple Pay, PayPal, or Bumble Web), request via Bumble support. Approval is not guaranteed.
- Beware third-party 'cancel for you' services (DoNotPay, Pine AI, etc.) that appear in search results; you can cancel for free yourself in about a minute via the store or website.
Refunds
Bumble's Terms state that charges are generally nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used periods, EXCEPT where law requires otherwise, and there are real exceptions. Residents of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin may cancel and receive a refund up to midnight of the third business day after subscribing. More broadly, Bumble's terms describe refunding the unused portion of a current subscription if requested within a window (about 6 days for weekly plans, about 14 days for monthly or longer plans, minus the portion already used); renewals are generally not refundable. To request a refund, go to whoever billed you: Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple Support) if you subscribed via the App Store, Google Play if you subscribed via Android, or Bumble support (the Requesting a refund article and Contact Us form) if you paid Bumble directly by card, Apple Pay, or PayPal. Approval is not guaranteed. Either way, you keep premium features until the end of the billing cycle you already paid for.
Bumble has no public customer-service phone number; support is through the in-app Help Hub, the Jen AI chatbot, and the Help Center Contact Us form at support.bumble.com. Third-party review sites list phone numbers (e.g. 1-512-696-1409), but none could be verified against any official Bumble source, so the phone field is intentionally left empty. The two Bumble Support cancellation/managing articles, the Ways of contacting us article, and the Requesting a refund article were all confirmed to exist and be indexed; support.bumble.com returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so their exact wording was cross-checked via Bumble's own Terms page (which loads), multiple independent secondary sources, and Apple's and Google's official support pages (which confirmed the App Store and Play Store steps verbatim). The original draft's blanket 'non-refundable' claim was corrected: Bumble's Terms confirm meaningful US state cooling-off rights and a partial-refund-of-unused-portion window.
