How to Cancel a Badoo Premium Subscription

You cancel Badoo Premium in the same place you paid for it. Apple subscriptions stop in your iPhone Settings under your name and Subscriptions, Google Play ones in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions, and card or PayPal plans inside the Badoo app or on badoo.com. Do it at least 24 hours before the renewal date, and your paid features keep working until the paid period is over.

Everything depends on this one question, because each payment route has its own off switch.

If you bought Premium on an iPhone and paid through Apple, it will be listed in your Apple subscriptions. If you bought it on an Android phone through Google Play, it will be in the Play Store. If you paid with a card or PayPal, the plan is managed by Badoo itself.

Cannot remember how you paid? Look for the receipt in your email, or check the Apple and Google lists first. If Premium is in neither, you paid Badoo directly.

Removing the Badoo app from your phone is not one of these places. The plan stays with whoever took the payment, so that is where you have to cancel it.

On an iPhone, open Settings, tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions. Find Badoo in the list and cancel it there.

On Android, open the Play Store, go to Payments and subscriptions, and find Badoo under your subscriptions. Cancel it from that screen.

Either way, take a screenshot of the confirmation. It costs you nothing and settles any argument later about whether you cancelled in time.

In the Badoo app, tap the profile icon, then Plans, then Cancel Subscription.

On a computer, go to badoo.com, open Settings, then Payment settings, and cancel from there.

Both routes do the same job. Use whichever you have in front of you.

Premium renews on its own. To stop the next charge, cancel no later than 24 hours before the renewal date. Cancel on the last evening and you may already be too late for that period.

Do not leave it to memory. When you buy a plan you are unsure about, put a reminder in your phone two or three days before it renews. That gives you time to look at how the month went and decide calmly, instead of rushing at midnight.

Because you keep your paid features until the period ends, there is no penalty for cancelling the moment you decide.

This gives you a simple habit for any plan you are only testing. Cancel right after you buy it. You still get the full period you paid for, and the plan cannot renew by surprise. If it turns out to be worth keeping, you can buy it again when the time comes.

The same goes for a break. If you want a few weeks off the app, you do not need to do anything dramatic. Cancel the renewal, use the rest of the period, and come back when you are ready.

a dating coach tests every paid feature he tries and keeps count of what it did. Whatever earns its place stays, and the rest goes.

So before you cancel, answer three questions. How many women from the Likes tab turned into conversations? How many of those conversations turned into a number or a plan? And did any of it happen faster than it did before you paid?

If the answer to all three is close to nothing, the plan may not have been the real issue. My point is that paying only boosts results you already get, and boosting nothing still leaves you with nothing. Weak photos or flat first messages will sink a paid plan just as fast as a free one.

If the answers are good, think twice before you cancel. coach does not see paying as a mistake in itself. Dating apps are businesses, he points out, and a business takes care of the customers who keep it running. For a man with a job, a small cost that spares him hours of swiping is usually a good trade. A plan that brought you dates is cheap next to the time it saved. The point of cancelling is to stop paying for one that did not.

coach has seen the same app work well in one city and poorly in another. He also tells men they do not have to stay loyal to one app, because running more than one at a time is fine.

If Badoo simply is not busy where you live, cancelling is the right call, and nothing about that says your approach is broken. If it does work for you but Premium added little, the free version may be enough. Either way, spend your money where the women you want are active, and spend your effort on getting from the first message to a date.
