Do it yourself
Cancel Grindr yourself
TLDR: Cancel in the App Store or Google Play if they billed you, because deleting the app does not stop it, or use the cancel steps in the app if Grindr billed you. You keep the time you paid for, and that time is not credited back.
Cancel an Apple or Google subscription
The App Store or Google Play billed Grindr Xtra, Unlimited, or Edge.
- 01Open the Apple or Google account that was charged and follow that store’s steps to cancel Grindr.
- 02If you also want the three-business-day refund some states allow, mail the notice below. The terms say you still have to cancel in the store.
Deleting the app or the profile does not cancel a trial or a subscription. Apple or Google may be the seller, and a refund they owe may have to be requested in that store.
Cancel a plan Grindr bills directly
You paid Grindr, not the app store.
- 01Follow the cancel steps inside Grindr. The terms say you can cancel a recurring premium plan at any time.
You keep access for the time you already paid. A cancel takes effect the next billing period, unless a state rule below says otherwise. Grindr is the seller on a charge that did not go through an app store.
Mail a three-day notice
You live in a state that requires this notice, and you are still inside three business days of subscribing.
- 01Sign and date a note that you are cancelling, and include the email or phone number used to create the account.
- 02Mail or deliver it to Grindr LLC, Attn: Cancellations, P.O. Box 69176, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
The terms list Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and any other state that requires the notice. The three business days do not count Sundays and holidays.
How to know it worked
- Xtra, Unlimited, and Edge renew at the then-current fee unless you cancel.
- A free or discounted trial becomes a paid plan if you do not cancel before the trial ends. They charge the fee that was in effect when the trial started.
- Questions can go to help@grindr.com or to Grindr LLC, P.O. Box 69176, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
Watch out for
- Payments are final. There is no credit for a partly used period, except where the terms or the law say otherwise.
- New York can put a subscription on hold for up to a year by writing Grindr LLC, Attn: Hold, at the same post office box.
- If Grindr cuts a premium feature in a way you cannot refuse, you can end the account within 10 days of that change and ask for a pro-rata refund of unused prepaid time.
Grindr refunds
- In the states listed above, you can cancel and ask for a refund before midnight of the third business day, with no penalty.
- If you die during a paid period, the estate can get a refund for the time after the death. If you become disabled and a doctor confirms it in writing, you can get a refund for the time after the disability, using the same cancellations address.
- If Grindr ends your access and you did not break the rules, they refund unused prepaid premium time. If they end it because you broke the rules, they can keep what you paid.
- An Apple purchase is refunded by Apple, at getsupport.apple.com, not by Grindr.
