App Store Subscriptions
Tinder account for direct billing
Most Tinder users subscribe through app stores (Apple or Google Play) rather than directly through Tinder's website. If you signed up through an app, you won't see a cancel option in your Tinder account — you'll need to cancel through your app store instead.
