How to Cancel eHarmony (2026)
Quick answer
On eHarmony, canceling means turning OFF automatic renewal — for web purchases, do it under Data & Settings > Amend subscription. This stops the next renewal but your CURRENT subscription still runs its full term (eHarmony is notorious for long 6- and 12-month commitments). If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel there — uninstalling the app does NOT cancel. Phone support is also available during business hours.
How to cancel eHarmony, step by step
Online (eHarmony website)
- 1Log in and open Data & SettingsSign in at eharmony.com, click the dropdown menu at the top-right next to your photo, and click 'Data & Settings'. Use this method only if you subscribed directly on the web.
- 2Click 'Amend subscription' and re-enter your passwordIn the Data & Settings section, click 'Amend subscription' (the auto-renewal control) and re-enter your account password when prompted. This is the path to the auto-renewal off switch.
- 3Read the details and click the link at the bottom to confirmeHarmony shows a page explaining what turning off auto-renewal does; scroll to the bottom and click the cancellation link there to complete it. This only turns off auto-renewal: your current paid term still runs to its full end date. You are NOT refunded for the remaining time, and access continues until expiry.
Apple (iPhone / iPad)
- 1Open Settings and tap your nameApple does not let eHarmony manage App Store subscriptions for you. Open iOS Settings and tap your Apple ID at the top.
- 2Tap Subscriptions, select eHarmonyTap 'Subscriptions', find 'eHarmony', and tap it.
- 3Cancel SubscriptionTap 'Cancel Subscription' and confirm. Deleting the eHarmony app will NOT do this for you.

- 2Go to Payments & subscriptions > SubscriptionsTap 'Payments & subscriptions', then 'Subscriptions', and select eHarmony.

Phone (eHarmony Customer Care)
- 1Call during business hourseHarmony Customer Care is available Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Call to turn off auto-renewal if you can't or don't want to do it online.
- 2Get confirmationAsk for confirmation that auto-renewal is off and note your access end date. Be prepared for retention offers.
⏰ Deadline
Turn off automatic renewal before your current term ends. Because eHarmony plans are often 6 or 12 months, set a reminder — if the term renews before you cancel, you are committed to (and billed for) another full term.
💵 Fees
No standalone cancellation fee, but eHarmony commits you to the FULL length of the plan you bought (commonly 6 or 12 months). Turning off auto-renewal does not shorten or refund the current term.
↩️ Refunds
eHarmony generally does not refund the remaining time on a current term — turning off auto-renewal only prevents the NEXT term. Limited statutory cancellation rights may apply in some regions, but as a rule you keep access until the paid term expires, with no partial refund.
Retention traps to expect
- 'Cancelling' only turns off auto-renewal — your current 6- or 12-month term keeps running to its full end date with no refund for unused time.
- The web flow buries the off switch under Data & Settings > Amend subscription, re-asks your password, and puts the final cancellation link at the bottom of an explainer page.
- If you paid through Apple or Google the toggle is missing entirely, uninstalling the app does nothing, and phone Customer Care will pitch retention offers.
The bottom line on cancelling eHarmony
eHarmony cancellation is not really cancellation — it just turns off auto-renewal, and your current term keeps running to its full end date with no refund for the unused time. That is the trap that catches people: plans are commonly 6 or 12 months, so if the term renews before you act, you are committed to and billed for another full stretch.
Set a reminder and turn off auto-renewal on the web under Data & Settings > Amend subscription well before the term ends. If the toggle is missing, you paid through Apple or Google — cancel in iOS Settings > Subscriptions or the Play Store, since uninstalling the app does nothing. Phone Customer Care (Mon–Fri, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM Pacific) is the fallback, and be ready for retention offers.

eHarmony cancellation — FAQ
＋ − Does turning off auto-renewal cancel my membership immediately?
No. It only stops the next renewal. Your current subscription runs its full term, and once it expires you lose the ability to read/write messages and view photos. There is no refund for unused time.
＋ − I uninstalled the eHarmony app — is that enough?
No. Uninstalling does not cancel anything. If you paid through the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel in iOS Settings > Subscriptions or the Google Play Store; if you paid on the web, turn off auto-renewal under Data & Settings.
＋ − Why can't I find the auto-renewal toggle in my account?
If your payment was processed through Apple or Google, the toggle won't appear in your eHarmony account — you must cancel through that app store instead. If you did subscribe on the web but still cannot find 'Amend subscription', contact eHarmony Customer Care (via the Contact Customer Care email/chat link, or by phone) and ask them to disable automatic renewal for you.
