Frequently asked questions
Cancel Amino: The Right Way
How to cancel Amino in new zealand and protect your rights
What Amino is and why you might want to leave
Amino is a community-based app that connects you with others around niche interests, allowing you to join topic-specific communities, chat with other users, and unlock premium features through paid memberships and in-app coin purchases. The service operates through subscriptions billed via Apple, Google Play, and direct web payments.
The platform offers access to passionate communities around your interests-whether anime, gaming, wellness, or countless other topics. However, if Amino no longer serves your needs or if you are concerned about service disruptions reported in late 2025, cancelling quickly and correctly is essential. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate subscription cancellations, and we know the process can feel unnecessarily complicated.
Service disruptions and continuity concerns
Important context: Amino's community availability, customer support responsiveness, and overall service continuity have experienced significant disruptions since late 2025. This means you may struggle to access your account, retrieve your data, or receive timely responses from Amino's support team. That makes cancelling even more critical-you should not continue paying for a service you cannot reliably use.
If you are caught in this situation, your consumer rights under New Zealand law may offer you protection that Amino's standard terms do not acknowledge. We will explain those rights and your remedies later in this guide.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Before you cancel, understand what protections New Zealand consumer law guarantees you, regardless of what Amino's terms of service claim.
The consumer guarantees act 1993 and service failures
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, goods and services supplied to you in New Zealand must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. Amino's stated "no refunds" policy does not override these statutory protections.
If Amino's service has genuinely failed-for example, if the app is non-functional, communities are inaccessible, or support is unavailable-you may have legal grounds to request a refund or credit even after you cancel. This is a statutory right, not a discretionary favour from the company.
Your legal position: You are entitled under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 to services of acceptable quality. If Amino fails to deliver this, you can demand remedial action or a refund, and escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission if Amino refuses. The company cannot contract out of these protections.
How to document service failures for your cancellation
When you contact Amino to cancel, document the specific service failures you have experienced. If the service is genuinely broken or unavailable, mention this explicitly in your cancellation request. Amino may resist, but you have legal standing to escalate the dispute to the Commerce Commission if they refuse to address your complaint.
Yafee always recommends keeping records of your cancellation request and any evidence of service disruption-screenshots of error messages, dates when the app failed to load, records of failed payment processing, or evidence that you could not access purchased content. This documentation becomes critical if you need to escalate.
How to cancel Amino on each platform
Amino subscriptions are billed through three separate systems, and you must cancel on the platform where you subscribed, or charges will continue.
Cancel Amino on iPhone via apple app store
- Open Settings on your iPhone and tap your name at the top of the screen.
- If you use Face ID or Touch ID, authenticate when prompted.
- Tap Subscriptions from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find Amino or Amino+ in the list and tap it.
- If you have multiple Amino subscriptions (for example, 1-month and 3-month plans), cancel each one separately.
- Tap Cancel Subscription to stop future charges.
- Apple will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a discounted reactivation offer-ignore this if you want to leave.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Your subscription will end at the conclusion of your current billing cycle. You will retain access until that date.
Cancel Amino on android via google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device and tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- You may need to tap "Manage your Google Account" if the menu does not appear immediately.
- Navigate to Subscriptions.
- Google Play will display all active subscriptions linked to your account.
- Select Amino from the list.
- Tap the subscription tier you wish to cancel (Amino+ or any other paid plan).
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation. You may select "Service quality" or "App not working" if that reflects your experience.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing period. You retain access until that date.
Cancel Amino via direct web payment or credit card
If you subscribed to Amino directly through the website using a credit card or PayPal, you must contact Amino's Privacy Department or corporate office to cancel. Direct cancellations through the app do not work reliably given the current service disruptions.
- Gather your Amino account details and any subscription confirmation emails.
- You will need your account username, email address, and the email address associated with your payment method.
- Send a cancellation request email to Amino's Privacy Department at the address provided below (see "Contact information for Amino").
- Include the subject line: "Request to cancel subscription and close account."
- Specify the date you want the cancellation to take effect.
- If you experienced service failures, mention them explicitly in your email.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation.
- Ask Amino to confirm in writing that your subscription has been cancelled and no further charges will be applied.
- Monitor your credit card or PayPal account for 30 days after sending the email.
- If charges appear after your requested cancellation date, dispute them immediately with your bank or PayPal as unauthorised transactions.
Timing and what happens after you cancel
Understanding when your access ends and what you need to do next will prevent confusion and ensure you are not caught with unexpected charges.
When does your access end?
After you cancel, your Amino subscription ends at the conclusion of your current billing cycle. This means if you paid for a month on the 15th, your subscription will remain active until the 15th of the following month. You do not lose access immediately-Yafee recommends checking your confirmation email to confirm your exact end date.
Consequently, you should not cancel if you believe you will use Amino significantly in the coming weeks. However, if you are certain you want to leave, cancelling now ensures no surprise charges appear after your billing date.
Retrieve your data before the end date
Before your subscription ends, download or save any important content, messages, or community posts you wish to keep. After your access expires, retrieving this information becomes significantly harder.
- Log into your Amino account and navigate to your profile.
- Take screenshots of any important posts, community memberships, or saved content.
- Export or download any personal messages or community discussions you want to preserve.
- Amino does not offer a formal data export tool, so screenshots and manual saving are your best options.
- Note the communities you valued most for future reference.
- This information helps if you want to find alternative platforms later.
After your subscription ends
Your Amino app will remain installed on your device, but premium features will be locked. You can retain a free account if you wish, but you will not be charged. Consequently, you do not need to uninstall the app unless you prefer to reclaim storage space.
Refunds and chargebacks under new zealand law
Amino's standard policy claims "no refunds," but New Zealand consumer law provides stronger protections in specific circumstances.
When you may qualify for a refund
You have grounds to request a refund (rather than simply cancelling going forward) if any of the following apply:
- The service was unavailable or non-functional for a significant portion of your subscription period (relating to service disruptions since late 2025).
- You were unable to access purchased content, premium features, or communities you paid for.
- Amino's support team was unresponsive when you reported problems.
- You paid for a subscription but were charged again without authorisation.
In these cases, you have a statutory right under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 to a refund or credit. Write to Amino's Privacy Department (address below) explicitly stating your grounds for a refund, and cite the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If Amino refuses, escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Chargeback as a last resort
If Amino refuses to respond to your refund request and you believe the charge was unjustified, you can initiate a chargeback through your bank or payment provider. Contact your bank and explain that you attempted to cancel or obtain a refund but Amino did not cooperate. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge on your behalf.
Chargebacks take 7-30 days and do not guarantee success, but they are a legitimate remedy if Amino is unresponsive. Yafee recommends documenting all communication attempts before you resort to this step.
Subscription pricing and billing frequency
Understanding Amino's subscription tiers and billing cycles helps you cancel the correct plan and avoid overlap charges.
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost (NZD) | Billing frequency | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amino free | Free | N/A | Join communities, basic chat, limited cosmetics |
| Amino+ (1 month) | $8.99 | Monthly | Premium badge, ad-free experience, exclusive content, coins allowance |
| Amino+ (3 months) | $22.99 | Every 3 months | Same as above, slight discount per month |
| Amino+ (6 months) | $42.99 | Every 6 months | Same as above, greater discount per month |
| In-app coins | Varies ($0.99-$99.99) | One-time purchase | Virtual currency for cosmetics and profile customisation |
| Gift cards and credits | Varies | One-time purchase | Can be used for subscriptions or coins; recommend these over recurring billing |
Common mistakes when cancelling Amino
Cancellations are final, so avoiding these pitfalls now prevents frustration and unwanted charges later.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the app instead of through your payment platform
Many users attempt to cancel their Amino subscription directly within the app. This does not work. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play, or by emailing Amino's Privacy Department (depending on how you subscribed). Cancelling in the app may simply log you out-it does not stop charges.
Mistake 2: assuming one cancellation covers all platforms
If you subscribed to Amino on both iPhone and Android, you must cancel both subscriptions separately. Charges on each platform are independent. Yafee has helped consumers who accidentally left one subscription active while cancelling the other, leading to continued charges they did not expect.
Mistake 3: cancelling without checking your billing date
Your subscription renews on the same day each month. If you cancel days before your renewal date, you will still be charged for the next period-your cancellation takes effect only after that charge processes. Check your confirmation email for your exact renewal date and cancel accordingly.
Mistake 4: not documenting service failures when you cancel
If you mention service disruptions in your cancellation email to Amino, reference them clearly. Do not assume the company knows about the problems. State explicitly what failed, when it failed, and how it affected your ability to use the service. This documentation becomes critical if you later pursue a refund or escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Mistake 5: failing to follow up if you do not receive confirmation
After you submit your cancellation request (especially via email to the Privacy Department), wait 5-7 business days for a response. If you do not receive written confirmation of cancellation, send a follow-up email. If Amino still does not respond after 14 days, consider this evidence of non-cooperation and escalate to the Commerce Commission.
After you cancel: next steps and escalation
Cancelling is the start of the process, not the end. You need to monitor your account and know when to escalate if problems arise.
Monitor your account for 30 days
After you cancel, check your bank statement and email for the next 30 days. Watch for any unexpected charges from Amino or its parent company, MediaLab. If charges appear after your cancellation date, treat this as a billing error and dispute it immediately with your bank.
If Amino charges you after cancellation
Contact your bank or payment provider and report the charge as unauthorised. Provide your bank with:
- The date you requested cancellation (from your confirmation email).
- The date the unauthorised charge appeared.
- Any written correspondence with Amino.
Your bank will initiate a dispute investigation and may reverse the charge within 7-30 days.
If Amino refuses to honour your refund request
If you requested a refund citing service failures and Amino refuses, escalate to the Commerce Commission. The Commerce Commission enforces consumer protection law in New Zealand and investigates complaints about unfair contract terms and service failures. Write to the Commerce Commission with:
- Your name, account number, and dates of subscription.
- Description of the service failures you experienced.
- Copies of all communication with Amino.
- Your refund request and Amino's response (or lack thereof).
Yafee recommends submitting your complaint within 12 months of the issue arising. The Commerce Commission will investigate at no cost to you.
Contact information for Amino
Amino's parent company is MediaLab (based in the United States), and no New Zealand local office exists. Direct all cancellation and privacy requests to the following address:
Amino / MediaLab Privacy Department
MediaLab, Inc.
548 Market Street, Suite 101,
San Francisco, CA 94104,
United States
Alternatively, send your cancellation request to [email protected] or [email protected] with the subject line "Request to cancel subscription and close account." Request written confirmation of cancellation in your email.
If Amino does not respond within 14 days, follow up with the Commerce Commission.

Final summary: your path forward
Cancelling Amino in New Zealand is straightforward if you follow the correct platform-specific steps, but your consumer rights extend far beyond Amino's standard terms. You are protected under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which entitles you to services of acceptable quality-and if Amino has failed to deliver this, you have the legal right to demand a refund or credit, even if the company claims otherwise.
The process differs slightly depending on whether you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or directly via the web. Cancel on the platform where you subscribed, request written confirmation, and monitor your account for 30 days afterward. If unexpected charges appear or if Amino refuses to acknowledge service failures, you have clear escalation routes through your bank or the Commerce Commission.
Yafee has guided thousands of New Zealand consumers through subscription cancellations just like this one, and we know the stakes matter. Taking the time to document your cancellation and any service issues protects you legally and ensures no unwanted charges surprise you down the line. Your rights are real, your evidence matters, and you have a straightforward path forward. Yafee remains committed to helping you cancel with confidence and protect your consumer rights under New Zealand law.
