How to cancel Babyfacegenerator and stop recurring charges in new zealand
What Babyfacegenerator is and why you might want to cancel
Babyfacegenerator is a mobile application that uses artificial intelligence to generate predicted images of a baby's face based on photos you upload. The app operates on a subscription model, offering a free tier with limited features and premium "PRO" access through paid plans. You access it via the iOS App Store or Android platforms, depending on your device.
Many New Zealand users sign up for the free version, then discover they've been auto-charged for a premium subscription they did not actively enable. If you've been billed unexpectedly or simply no longer use the app, cancelling immediately protects your account from ongoing charges. Yafee specialises in helping consumers navigate exactly this situation.
Common reasons to cancel Babyfacegenerator
You might cancel because the app was not what you expected, you used it once and forgot about the subscription, or recurring charges caught you off guard. Many users also cancel because they find the predictions inaccurate or feel uncomfortable storing personal photos with a service that lacks clear privacy transparency. Whatever your reason, understanding your rights and the cancellation process ensures you regain control quickly.
Why cancelling sooner rather than later matters
Every day you delay cancellation, your subscription balance grows. If Babyfacegenerator charges you weekly or monthly, a 30-day delay costs you a full billing cycle you cannot recover without a refund request. Act now to stop charges immediately, then pursue refunds for unauthorised or misleading charges through the formal process outlined below.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Before you cancel, understand what protections you have as a consumer in Aotearoa under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986.
Consumer guarantees act 1993 protections
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 gives you the right to cancel a subscription or digital service within a reasonable timeframe if the service is faulty, not fit for purpose, or was sold to you through misleading claims. If Babyfacegenerator was described as generating accurate baby face predictions but consistently fails to do so, you have grounds to request a refund under this legislation.
Furthermore, if the developer charged you without clear prior consent or failed to provide transparent, accessible cancellation instructions, you can escalate a complaint to the Commerce Commission. Yafee recommends saving all email confirmations, screenshots of charges, and any promotional material that induced you to subscribe, as these form evidence if you need to pursue a refund claim later.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel at any time. New Zealand consumer law does not require you to provide a reason or to wait out a minimum contract period for digital subscriptions. You also have the right to a refund if the service was not supplied with due care and skill, or if the terms were not transparent before purchase. If the developer makes it unreasonably difficult to cancel, that itself may constitute an unfair trading practice under the Fair Trading Act 1986.
Commerce commission as your escalation point
If Babyfacegenerator refuses to refund you despite a legitimate complaint, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz). They investigate unfair trading practices, hidden charges, and breaches of consumer protection law, and can compel companies to honour consumer rights. Document everything: your cancellation attempt, the developer's response (or silence), and the dates of all charges. The Commerce Commission accepts complaints online and via post, and typically responds within 20 working days.
How to cancel Babyfacegenerator via iOS app store
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, you cancel directly in your device settings or the App Store app itself, and the process takes fewer than five minutes.
Step one: open your subscription settings
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select Media & Purchases, then tap View Account.
- Alternatively, open the App Store app directly and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner.
Step two: find and select your subscription
- Tap Subscriptions (or in the App Store app, select Subscriptions from your profile menu).
- Scroll through the list to find "Babyfacegenerator", "My Future Baby Face Generator", or similar variants of the app name.
- Tap on the subscription to open its details page.
Step three: cancel the subscription
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the details page.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. Apple may offer you a discount to keep the subscription; ignore this and proceed with cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted.
Step four: verify cancellation and save proof
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple within minutes.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation message and store it securely.
- Return to your subscription settings and verify that Babyfacegenerator no longer appears in your active subscriptions list; it may appear under a "Expired" or "Cancelled" section for your records.
Timing is critical
Important: You must cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date for the cancellation to take effect before renewal. If you cancel after the 24-hour window has passed, Apple will charge you for the next period, and you will need to request a refund separately through the process outlined below.
Pro tip: Open your Settings now and check exactly when your next renewal date is listed on the subscription details page. Mark your calendar for 24 hours before that date as your cancellation deadline. This single step prevents accidental charges.
How to cancel Babyfacegenerator via android and google play
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, the cancellation process is equally straightforward and takes fewer than five minutes.
Step one: open google play settings
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage your Google Account, then tap the Payments & subscriptions tab at the top of the screen.
Step two: find Babyfacegenerator in your active subscriptions
- Tap Subscriptions to view all active subscriptions tied to your Google account.
- Scroll to find "Babyfacegenerator" or any variant of the app name.
- Tap on it to open the subscription details page.
Step three: cancel the subscription
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the details page.
- Select your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu (optional, but helps Google understand user patterns).
- Tap Continue to proceed.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
Step four: confirm cancellation and save proof
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play within minutes.
- Screenshot the confirmation and store it in a safe location.
- Return to your subscriptions list and verify that Babyfacegenerator no longer appears under active subscriptions.
Timing and billing cycles on google play
Google Play cancellations take effect immediately for your next billing cycle. However, if you have already been charged for the current period, you remain entitled to access the service until the end of that billing cycle. To recover charges you believe were unauthorised or misleading, you must pursue a refund request separately (see the Requesting a refund section below).
Pricing and subscription tiers explained
Understanding what you may have been charged for helps you identify what to cancel and what refunds you may be owed.
| Subscription tier |
Typical billing cycle |
Features |
Your next step |
| Free tier |
No charge |
Limited predictions per week, standard quality |
No cancellation needed; simply delete the app |
| PRO weekly |
NZD $4-6 per week |
Unlimited predictions, higher quality, priority support |
Cancel immediately to stop weekly charges |
| PRO monthly |
NZD $15-20 per month |
Unlimited predictions, highest quality, priority support |
Cancel immediately to stop monthly charges |
| PRO annual |
NZD $80-100 per year |
All PRO features plus annual discount |
Cancel and request pro-rata refund for unused months |
Prices vary slightly depending on your region and currency conversion rates at the time of charge. Yafee advises checking your bank or credit card statement to confirm the exact amount you have been charged, as this evidence strengthens any refund request you lodge with the developer or the Commerce Commission.
Requesting a refund for unauthorised or misleading charges
Cancelling stops future charges, but you may still be entitled to a refund for charges you believe were unauthorised or made under false pretences.
Step one: contact the developer directly
- Locate the developer's contact email or support form (usually found in the app itself under Help or Settings, or on their website).
- Write a clear, factual email explaining: (a) when you were charged, (b) the amount, (c) why you believe the charge was unauthorised or misleading, and (d) what outcome you are requesting (full refund or partial refund for unused period).
- Attach screenshots of all charges, cancelled subscriptions, and any promotional material that may have misled you into subscribing.
- Send the email and note the date and time you sent it.
- Allow 10 working days for a response. If you receive no reply within this timeframe, proceed to step two.
Step two: escalate to your payment processor
- If the developer ignores your refund request, contact Apple or Google Play directly. Both platforms allow you to request a refund within a specific window (typically 45 days from the date of charge).
- Open your Apple or Google account, navigate to your purchase history, find the Babyfacegenerator charge, and select Report a Problem or Request a Refund.
- Explain your situation in clear terms and attach evidence (screenshots, correspondence with the developer, proof of cancellation).
- Apple and Google typically respond within 5-7 working days and will either approve your refund or explain why it cannot be granted.
Step three: lodge a complaint with the commerce commission
If both the developer and your payment processor refuse to refund you, and you have evidence that the charges were misleading or unfair, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz). Yafee recommends preparing a timeline of all events: subscription date, charges, cancellation attempt, developer's response, and payment processor's decision. The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, and can compel refunds in cases of proven unfair trading.
What happens after you cancel Babyfacegenerator
Cancellation is immediate, but access and billing consequences differ slightly depending on your subscription tier and platform.
Access to the app after cancellation
Once you cancel, you retain access to the free tier of Babyfacegenerator if you continue to use the app. However, all premium PRO features become unavailable immediately. You can no longer generate unlimited predictions or access higher-quality outputs. Your account history and saved predictions may remain visible in the app, but you cannot generate new premium content until you resubscribe.
Final billing cycle
If you cancel mid-cycle (for example, on day 15 of a 30-day billing period), you do not receive a pro-rata refund unless the developer's terms explicitly state otherwise, or unless you pursue a formal refund request (see above). However, you retain access to premium features until the end of that billing period. After that date, your subscription ends completely.
Stopping download and push notifications
Cancelling the subscription does not automatically uninstall the app from your device. You can continue using the free tier, or delete the app entirely if you no longer wish to use it. To stop notifications, open your device settings and disable notifications for Babyfacegenerator. You can also delete the app from your home screen without losing any purchase history or account data (these remain tied to your Apple or Google account).
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but a few common pitfalls can leave you paying longer than necessary.
Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling Babyfacegenerator from your device does not cancel your subscription or stop charges. You must cancel the subscription through your App Store or Google Play settings first. Deleting the app only removes it from your phone; the recurring charge continues in the background. This is the most common error Yafee sees, and it often results in months of unwanted charges before the user realises the subscription is still active.
Mistake two: cancelling too close to your billing date
If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before your next billing date, the system may process the renewal charge before your cancellation takes effect. Once charged, you must request a refund separately. Check your renewal date immediately and set a phone reminder for 24 hours before it.
Mistake three: not saving proof of cancellation
Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation email from Apple or Google Play. If a dispute arises later (for example, if you are charged again despite cancellation), this proof is essential. Without it, you have no evidence to support a refund claim with the Commerce Commission or your payment processor.
Mistake four: assuming free trials auto-cancel
If you started with a free trial, your subscription does not automatically cancel when the trial ends. You must manually cancel before the trial window closes, or you will be charged. Check your subscription renewal date immediately; it should be clearly listed in your App Store or Google Play settings.
Comparison: keep or cancel Babyfacegenerator
Before you commit to cancellation, weigh whether the service still offers value or whether the charges outweigh the benefit.
| Factor |
Keep your subscription |
Cancel your subscription |
| Cost per month |
NZD $15-20 (monthly plan) feels reasonable for regular use |
Cost exceeds your usage; charges feel excessive |
| Frequency of use |
You generate predictions at least once per week |
You have not used the app in weeks or months |
| Prediction quality |
You trust the accuracy and enjoy sharing results |
Results are inaccurate or feel unsafe to share |
| Privacy concern |
You are comfortable with the developer's data practices |
You distrust how the developer stores your photos |
| Billing clarity |
You understand your subscription terms and agreed willingly |
You were surprised by charges or did not understand the terms |
| Discovery of charges |
You monitor your statements and knew you were being charged |
You discovered charges months later; they felt hidden or auto-enrolled |
If even one row shows you in the "Cancel" column, proceed with cancellation. Yafee firmly advises that any subscription you do not actively use or no longer understand is worth cancelling immediately, as the cost of delay outweighs the benefit.
After cancellation: protecting yourself from re-subscription
Once you cancel successfully, take simple steps to ensure you do not accidentally resubscribe.
Remove saved payment methods
If you no longer wish to use Babyfacegenerator at all, remove your saved payment method from your Apple or Google account. This prevents accidental re-subscription if you tap a premium feature button in the app. Go to your account settings under Payment Methods and delete the card associated with this service.
Delete the app and check your statement monthly
If you do not plan to use Babyfacegenerator again, uninstall it from your device to avoid accidental taps on premium features. Furthermore, monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next two to three months to confirm that no further charges appear. If a charge does appear after you cancelled, screenshot it immediately and contact your bank or payment processor to dispute it as an unauthorised recurring charge.
Document your cancellation for disputes
Store your cancellation confirmation email, screenshot of the cancellation status in your App Store or Google Play account, and any relevant bank statements in a folder (digital or physical) labelled "Babyfacegenerator Cancellation". If a dispute arises within six months, you will have all necessary evidence to support a claim with your payment processor or the Commerce Commission.
Escalation and dispute process flowchart
If Babyfacegenerator continues to charge you after cancellation, or refuses to refund unauthorised charges, follow this step-by-step escalation path.
| Step |
Action |
Timeframe |
Success rate |
| 1 |
Email the developer with proof of cancellation and request refund |
Send within 24 hours of discovering the charge |
Moderate (40-60%) |
| 2 |
Request refund from Apple or Google Play |
Within 45 days of the disputed charge |
High (70-85%) |
| 3 |
Lodge complaint with Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) |
Within 6 months of the charge (no strict deadline) |
High (65-80%) for unfair trading breaches |
| 4 |
Raise chargeback dispute with your bank |
Within 120 days of the charge (varies by bank) |
High (75-90%) if prior steps documented |
Do not skip steps; escalate only after each stage has been exhausted. Yafee advises keeping detailed records at every step, as evidence builds your case with each escalation level.
No New Zealand-based postal address for cancellation could be found for Babyfacegenerator. The developer does not publicly list a contact address on major app stores or a verified website. Consequently, your primary contact method is email through the app's Help or Settings menu, or via the payment processors (Apple and Google Play), who can relay your cancellation and refund requests to the developer on your behalf.
How to locate the developer's email address
- Open the Babyfacegenerator app on your device.
- Tap Settings or Help (usually found in the top right corner or at the bottom of the menu).
- Look for a Contact Us, Support, or Email Support link; this will display the developer's email address or a contact form.
- If no email is visible, tap the app name at the top of your App Store or Google Play listing; scroll down to find the developer's name and website link (if listed).
If you cannot find a direct contact address
If Babyfacegenerator provides no visible email or contact method, this itself may constitute a breach of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which requires merchants to provide a contact method for cancellation and complaints. In this case, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission immediately, citing the lack of accessible cancellation contact information as evidence of unfair trading practice. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers in this exact situation escalate to the Commission and successfully claim refunds for services that made cancellation deliberately difficult or impossible.
Final checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every step and protected yourself from future disputes.
| Before cancellation |
After cancellation |
| Check your exact renewal date in App Store or Google Play settings |
Verify cancellation confirmation email received from Apple or Google Play |
| Gather screenshots of all charges on your bank or card statement |
Screenshot your subscription settings showing no active Babyfacegenerator subscription |
| Note the date and time you plan to cancel |
Set a phone reminder to check your bank statement 5 days after the cancellation date |
| Ensure you cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date |
Monitor your statements for two to three months to confirm no further charges |
| Collect any promotional emails or screenshots that induced you to subscribe |
Store all cancellation proof in a secure digital or physical folder |
Summary and your next steps
Cancelling Babyfacegenerator protects your wallet and gives you back control over your recurring charges. You have clear legal rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 to cancel at any time and to pursue refunds for charges you believe were misleading or unauthorised. The cancellation process itself takes fewer than five minutes on iOS or Android, but timing matters: cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to stop the next charge.
If you encounter resistance from the developer, your payment processor (Apple or Google Play) will usually refund you within five to seven days. If both refuse, the Commerce Commission will investigate unfair trading practices and can compel refunds. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and recover unwanted charges by following this exact process and maintaining clear documentation at every step.
Act now: check your renewal date, set a reminder for 24 hours before it, and cancel using the step-by-step guide above. Save your confirmation email and screenshot your subscription settings. Within minutes, you will have stopped the charges. If you need help pursuing a refund or filing a complaint with the Commerce Commission, Yafee's team is available to guide you through the evidence-gathering and escalation process.
