Cancel MyFitnessPal: The Right Way
How to cancel MyFitnessPal in india: your complete step-by-step guide
Understanding MyFitnessPal and why you might want to cancel
MyFitnessPal is a popular nutrition and fitness tracking application that helps you log meals, monitor calorie intake, and record your exercise routines. The app operates on a freemium model with a free tier available to all users and paid Premium tiers that unlock ad-free browsing, custom macronutrient targets, advanced goal setting, and priority customer support.
If you have subscribed to MyFitnessPal Premium and now want to stop paying, you are not alone. Many users in India find themselves wanting to cancel after the initial trial period or when their fitness priorities shift. At Stopee, we understand that managing multiple subscriptions can feel overwhelming, and we are here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step.
Where MyFitnessPal operates in india
You can access MyFitnessPal through three main platforms: the iOS app (via Apple App Store), the Android app (via Google Play), or the web version at myfitnesspal.com. Your subscription and billing are managed through whichever platform you used to purchase your plan. This means that if you bought Premium on Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play and not through the app itself.
Why you might decide to cancel
Common reasons Indian users cancel MyFitnessPal include unexpected auto-renewal charges, reaching their fitness goals and no longer needing tracking, switching to alternative fitness apps, or simply wanting to reduce their monthly expenses. Whatever your reason, Stopee is committed to helping you cancel without friction or confusion.
MyFitnessPal pricing in india: what you are currently paying
Before you cancel, understand exactly what you are being charged and what each tier includes.
| Subscription plan | Price (INR) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium monthly (App Store) | ₹619 | Monthly | Ad-free, custom macros, fast logging, priority support |
| Premium yearly (App Store) | ₹3,099 | Annual | All Premium features, billed once per year |
| Premium+ (website, estimate) | ₹1,250+ monthly or ₹9,999 annually | Monthly/annual | Premium features plus meal planning, grocery lists, meal prep builder |
| Free tier | Free | Ongoing | Basic logging, community features, limited goal tracking |
If you are on a yearly plan, the upfront cost may be significant, which makes cancellation and potential refunds even more important. Stopee recommends reviewing your billing date now before proceeding with cancellation steps.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal on iPhone (Apple app store)
If you purchased your MyFitnessPal Premium subscription through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not through the MyFitnessPal app itself.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture at the top of the screen.
- If you do not see your profile picture, scroll to the top and look for your name.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- This option lists all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap MyFitnessPal in the subscription list.
- Scroll down if you have multiple subscriptions.
- Look for the renewal date and current plan details.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple may offer you a retention discount; you can decline and proceed with cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- Your subscription will stop auto-renewing after your current paid period ends.
Pro tip: Take a screenshot of your subscription details before cancelling. This creates a record of your cancellation date and protects you if you are charged again by mistake.
Warning: Do not delete the MyFitnessPal app thinking this will cancel your subscription. Deleting the app does nothing to stop the auto-renewal charge. You must cancel through Apple Settings.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal on android (Google play)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel via the Google Play Store app or website, not within MyFitnessPal itself.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
- Ensure you are logged into the same Google account you used to purchase the subscription.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu.
- This menu consolidates all your app and subscription purchases.
- Tap Subscriptions to see your active subscriptions.
- You will see each active subscription with renewal date and price.
- Find MyFitnessPal in the list and tap it.
- Review the plan type (monthly or yearly) and renewal date.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm the cancellation.
- You may see a survey asking why you are cancelling; you can skip this.
- Confirm your cancellation to stop future auto-renewal charges.
- Your Premium access will remain until the end of your current billing period.
Pro tip: Use the Google Play website (play.google.com) if you prefer cancelling on a desktop. Log in to your account, navigate to Payments & subscriptions, and follow the same steps. The web interface can be clearer to navigate.
Warning: If you have multiple Google accounts on your Android device, ensure you are signed into the correct account before opening Google Play. Cancelling from the wrong account will not affect your actual subscription.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal on the web (myfitnesspal.com)
If you subscribed directly through myfitnesspal.com rather than through an app store, you must cancel from the website itself.
- Visit myfitnesspal.com and log in to your account.
- Use the same email and password you created during signup.
- Navigate to your account settings.
- Click the menu icon (usually in the top left or right) and select My Home, Profile, or Account Settings.
- Look for Premium, Subscription, or Billing sections.
- Find the Subscription Settings section.
- This typically appears under Premium or Billing in your account menu.
- You should see your current plan, renewal date, and billing amount.
- Turn off Auto-Renewal to stop future charges.
- Click the toggle or button marked Cancel Auto-Renewal.
- Confirm this action when prompted.
- Review the confirmation message.
- MyFitnessPal will confirm the date your access ends.
- You will keep Premium features until the end of your current billing period.
Pro tip: If you cannot find the Subscription Settings section, contact MyFitnessPal support directly through the app or visit their help page. Stopee recommends keeping your support ticket number for your records.
Warning: Web-based cancellations must be made on the same website platform where you originally subscribed. If you are unsure where you subscribed, check your email receipt or bank statement to identify the billing source.
What happens immediately after you cancel your MyFitnessPal subscription
Cancelling your subscription can feel uncertain, so here is exactly what to expect once you click that final confirm button.
Your premium access during the notice period
After you cancel, you do not lose access immediately. You retain full Premium functionality until the end of your current paid billing period. For example, if your monthly renewal date is the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you have Premium access through the 15th. Once that date passes, your account automatically downgrades to the free tier.
This grace period gives you time to export your data or transition to another fitness app if needed. At Stopee, we encourage users to plan their cancellation close to, but not after, their renewal date to maximise the value they have already paid for.
Your data after downgrade to free
Your logged food entries, exercise history, weight tracking, and custom goals remain attached to your account even after you downgrade to free. You can still access this historical data and continue using MyFitnessPal at no cost with the free tier's features. Account deletion is a separate action and does not happen automatically when you cancel the subscription.
No refunds for the current period
Cancelling your subscription does not entitle you to a partial refund for the current billing period. You have already paid for that cycle, and you can use it fully until the renewal date arrives. However, if you cancel before the renewal date, you will not be charged again.
Can you get a refund after cancelling MyFitnessPal?
Refunds are one of the most common concerns when cancelling any subscription, and the rules around MyFitnessPal refunds in India deserve clear explanation.
MyFitnessPal's official refund policy
According to MyFitnessPal's terms of service (operated by Paradise Nutrition Inc.), Premium purchases are generally considered final and non-refundable. The company reserves the right to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion, but refunds are not guaranteed.
This policy is stricter than consumer protections in many countries, but it is within MyFitnessPal's rights to set. However, India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019, provides you with additional leverage if you have a valid complaint.
When you may be eligible for a refund
Even though MyFitnessPal's policy says purchases are non-refundable, you may be entitled to a refund in these situations:
- Accidental duplicate charges: If MyFitnessPal charged you twice in the same billing cycle, request a refund immediately.
- Charged after cancellation: If you successfully cancelled but were still charged in the next cycle, you have a strong refund claim.
- Technical malfunction: If a bug or app error prevented you from accessing the service you paid for, contact support with evidence.
- Misleading advertising: If MyFitnessPal's features did not match what was advertised in India, you may have a refund claim under consumer protection law.
- App Store refunds: Purchases made through Apple App Store or Google Play can sometimes be refunded directly through those platforms within 48 hours of purchase, regardless of MyFitnessPal's policy.
How to request a refund through MyFitnessPal
Contact MyFitnessPal support through their official help centre at support.myfitnesspal.com. Explain your situation clearly, provide your subscription dates, the amount charged, and the reason you believe you deserve a refund. Include screenshots of your subscription settings and bank statements showing the charge. MyFitnessPal support reviews refund requests individually and may approve your case even if the policy says non-refundable.
Escalating to the app store (Apple or google)
If MyFitnessPal denies your refund request, you can appeal directly to Apple or Google. Apple customers can contact Apple Support and request a refund within 14 days of purchase. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase if you access your Google Play account directly. Provide details of your cancellation attempt and the unwanted charge.
Consumer protection escalation in india
Under India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if MyFitnessPal fails to refund a charge you believe is unfair or misleading. Stopee recommends documenting every communication with MyFitnessPal, including email records and screenshots. If you proceed to a consumer complaint, this evidence will strengthen your case. The process is free and does not require a lawyer, though outcomes vary by state and circumstance.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling MyFitnessPal
Cancellation mistakes can cost you money and create unnecessary frustration, so we want you to avoid the pitfalls that catch so many users off guard.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
The single most costly mistake is assuming that deleting MyFitnessPal from your phone will stop the charges. It will not. Your subscription will continue to auto-renew, and you will be charged on your renewal date. You must explicitly cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play, or the MyFitnessPal website depending on where you subscribed.
Mistake 2: cancelling from the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple App Store but try to cancel through Google Play, or vice versa, your cancellation will have no effect. You must cancel from the exact platform where the charge appears on your bank statement. Check your latest receipt email to confirm whether you subscribed via App Store, Google Play, or the web.
Mistake 3: not cancelling until after the renewal date
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you have not yet cancelled, you will be charged again. The safest practice is to cancel at least 24 hours before the auto-renewal date. Stopee recommends setting a calendar reminder one week before your renewal date so you have time to execute the cancellation without rushing.
Mistake 4: not keeping records of cancellation
If MyFitnessPal charges you after you cancel, you will need proof that you attempted to cancel. Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or MyFitnessPal. Keep your email receipts and support ticket numbers. These records are essential if you need to file a dispute with your bank or escalate to a consumer authority.
Mistake 5: assuming all your data will be preserved
While MyFitnessPal does typically preserve your logged food and exercise data after downgrade, cloud syncing issues or account problems can sometimes cause data loss. Before you cancel, consider exporting your food log and weight history if you plan to switch to another fitness app. MyFitnessPal's free tier lets you download some data, though the process is not always obvious.
Your consumer rights and protections in india
As a consumer in India, you have legal rights that protect you even when a company's terms say "non-refundable." Understanding these rights puts you in a stronger position to cancel fairly and recover money if something goes wrong.
Consumer protection act, 2019
India's Consumer Protection Act gives you the right to lodge a complaint if you receive services that are defective, unsafe, or misleading. If MyFitnessPal's service failed to deliver what was advertised, or if you were charged without clear consent, you can escalate your complaint to the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at no cost. This process is free, and you do not need a lawyer to file.
Right to cancel within cooling-off period
Although MyFitnessPal operates primarily through app stores, the Consumer Protection Act includes a cooling-off period for distance contracts. If you subscribed and discovered within a reasonable timeframe that the service did not meet expectations, you have the right to cancel and request a refund. This is separate from MyFitnessPal's stated policy and offers additional legal backing.
Right to clear billing information
Every company must provide you with clear billing information, including the amount charged, the billing date, and the cancellation method. If MyFitnessPal's cancellation process is deliberately hidden or unclear, this itself may constitute a violation. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers document these violations when escalating to consumer authorities.
Chargebacks and bank disputes
If MyFitnessPal continues charging you after you cancel, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank. Contact your bank or credit card company and explain that you cancelled the subscription and should not have been charged. Provide your cancellation screenshots and bank statements. Your bank can reverse the charge and initiate a chargeback process that puts pressure on MyFitnessPal to honour your cancellation.

Why people choose to cancel MyFitnessPal and alternatives to consider
Understanding why users cancel helps you decide whether cancellation is right for you or whether you simply need to adjust your subscription tier.
Main reasons for cancellation
Many users in India cancel because they reach their fitness goals and no longer need daily tracking. Others find that the free tier covers all their needs, making Premium a waste of money. Some users switch to other fitness apps like Google Fit, Apple Health, or regional apps that integrate better with their devices. Others simply want to cut discretionary spending and find ₹619 per month too expensive to justify.
Fitness apps you might switch to
If you are cancelling because MyFitnessPal does not suit your needs, consider these alternatives available in India: Google Fit (free, integrates with Android devices), Apple Health (free for iPhone users), FatSecret (free with optional premium), or Cronometer (strong for detailed nutrient tracking). Each app has different strengths, so choose based on your fitness goals rather than simply picking the cheapest option.
Keeping vs. cancelling: the decision framework
Before you cancel, ask yourself: Am I using MyFitnessPal at least twice per week? Is the ₹619 per month worth the convenience? Would I upgrade to Premium+ for ₹1,250 per month if meal planning were essential? If you answer no to these questions, cancellation is the right choice. If you are on the fence, try the free tier for one month to confirm you do not need Premium before taking cancellation action.
Summary and final steps: cancel with confidence through stopee
Cancelling MyFitnessPal is straightforward once you know the correct platform and timing. You have learned that cancellations must be made through the exact platform where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or web), that you must act at least 24 hours before your renewal date, and that your Premium access continues until the end of your paid period.
You now understand that refunds are not guaranteed but are possible in cases of accidental charges, service failures, or misleading advertising. You also know that India's Consumer Protection Act gives you legal backing if MyFitnessPal refuses to honour a legitimate refund claim.
Take a screenshot of every cancellation confirmation you receive. If you are charged again after cancelling, contact MyFitnessPal support immediately and escalate to your bank if needed. Keep all receipts and communications in case you need to file a consumer complaint.
