How to cancel Amino and protect your subscription rights in singapore
What Amino is and why you might want to cancel
Amino is a mobile and web-based community platform that enables you to create, join and participate in interest-based communities where you chat with other members, share content and engage in group discussions. The platform operates across iOS and Android apps, as well as through a web interface, making it accessible across multiple devices.
The service offers a premium membership tier called Amino+ (also known as Amino Premium), which you unlock through in-app purchases. You acquire premium features using Amino Coins, which you purchase directly through the app or Amino's web wallet system. If you've signed up for Amino+ and now want to stop paying, understanding your cancellation rights and the specific process for your payment platform is essential. Yafee provides comprehensive guidance to help you take control of unwanted subscriptions and understand your legal position under Singapore consumer law.
How Amino subscriptions and billing work
You access Amino through multiple platforms, each with its own billing and cancellation pathway. Premium membership charges run through three main routes: the Apple App Store (for iOS devices), Google Play Store (for Android devices), or directly through Amino's web-based coin wallet system. This fragmentation means you must identify exactly where you subscribed to cancel effectively. Yafee recommends checking your payment method first, as each route has distinct cancellation procedures that we cover step-by-step below.
The critical principle: you must cancel through the exact platform where you purchased the subscription. If you signed up via Apple but attempt to cancel through Google Play, your charges will continue without your knowledge. Timing also matters. You must disable auto-renewal before your next billing date to avoid charges. Most platforms enforce a 24-hour notice period between cancellation and the next charge cycle.
Amino's operational status and what it means for cancellation
Amino's operations appear to have ceased in December 2025. This operational change has significant implications for cancellation. While Amino is no longer actively developing the platform, subscription charges may continue if you have not cancelled. Your payment provider (Apple, Google or your bank) remains your primary avenue for dispute and refund, regardless of Amino's status. Yafee advises documenting all attempted cancellations and refund requests, as this evidence strengthens any claim you make with your payment provider or the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's consumer protection framework gives you statutory rights when dealing with subscription services, even if the service provider is unresponsive or has ceased operations.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act and your Amino subscription
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the primary legislation governing your rights as a consumer in Singapore. This law protects you against unfair contract terms, misleading advertising and aggressive billing practices. Under this Act, you have the right to cancel services, demand transparency in billing, and seek refunds if a service fails to deliver or charges you unfairly.
Your legal position: If Amino continues to charge you after you have cancelled, or if the service was misrepresented, you can dispute the charges and request a refund. The Act places the burden on Amino (or its payment processor) to prove that charges were authorised and that you received the service as described. Furthermore, if Amino's contract terms contradict your statutory rights, your consumer rights take precedence. You do not waive your protections by agreeing to Amino's terms and conditions.
The Act also establishes that you have the right to a cooling-off period in certain circumstances. If you believe charges were unfair or unauthorised, you have a statutory right to dispute them with your payment provider.
Escalation routes if Amino refuses to help
If Amino does not respond to your cancellation request or refund claim, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE acts as an independent mediator and can pressure businesses to resolve disputes fairly. You can file a complaint with CASE at no cost, and they will investigate your claim on your behalf.
Your payment provider (Apple, Google or your bank) can also dispute charges and reverse transactions if Amino's billing practices are unfair or if you can demonstrate that the service was not delivered. In many cases, payment providers are more responsive than the service provider itself, particularly when Amino is not actively operating. Yafee recommends contacting both your payment provider and CASE simultaneously to maximise your chances of resolution. Document everything: screenshots of your subscription settings, cancellation confirmations, billing statements and any communication with Amino support. This evidence strengthens your case with CASE or your payment provider.
How to cancel Amino through the apple app store
Cancelling your Amino+ subscription on Apple's platform requires you to manage your subscriptions through your Apple ID account settings, not through the Amino app itself.
Step 1: access your apple ID account settings
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name at the top of the screen. This action takes you to your Apple ID account page, where all your account information and subscriptions are stored. If you have multiple Apple IDs, ensure you are signed in to the correct one by checking the email address displayed at the top of the Settings screen.
Step 2: navigate to your active subscriptions
Once in your Apple ID account page, select Subscriptions from the menu options. You will see a complete list of all active and recent subscriptions linked to your Apple ID. Review this list carefully to locate Amino or Amino+ and confirm the renewal date and current charge amount.
Step 3: select the Amino subscription
Tap Amino or Amino+ from the list to open your subscription details. Apple displays your current renewal date, the charge amount and any promotional pricing information. If you have multiple Amino subscriptions (for example, on different Apple IDs or devices), ensure you select the correct one.
Step 4: cancel and confirm
Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen. Apple will present a confirmation screen asking you to confirm your cancellation and may offer to display your cancellation reason (this step is optional and does not affect the outcome). Review the warning message about losing access to premium features, then confirm the cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button. Apple will send you a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address, confirming that your subscription has been cancelled.
Step 5: verify cancellation and check your billing records
Return to the Subscriptions screen and confirm that Amino no longer appears in your active subscriptions list. If it still shows, repeat steps 3 and 4. Check your Apple ID billing history (in Settings > [Your Name] > Media and Purchases) to confirm that no further charges appear after your cancellation date. If charges continue after 24 hours, contact Apple Support immediately and file a dispute request.
How to cancel Amino through google play store
Cancelling your Amino+ subscription on Android requires you to access Google Play's subscription management portal, which operates independently from the Amino app.
Step 1: open google play store and access your account
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner. Select Manage your Google Account from the menu. Alternatively, open the Google Play website on a desktop and log in to your account.
Step 2: navigate to your subscriptions
Tap the Payments and Subscriptions tab (or navigate to the Subscriptions section on desktop). You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Google account. Review the list to locate Amino or Amino+ and check the renewal date and charge amount.
Step 3: select and cancel the Amino subscription
Tap Amino or Amino+ to open the subscription details. On the subscription page, tap Cancel Subscription. Google Play will present a cancellation confirmation screen and may ask whether you want to provide feedback on why you are cancelling (this is optional). Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
Step 4: verify cancellation in your google play history
Return to the Subscriptions page and confirm that Amino no longer appears in your active subscriptions. Google Play may display it as "Cancelled" for a brief period before removing it entirely. Check your Google Play billing history to confirm no further charges occur after your cancellation date. If charges continue, contact Google Play Support and initiate a refund request immediately.
How to cancel Amino through direct web-based payments
If you purchased Amino Coins or premium features directly through Amino's web wallet system rather than through an app store, your cancellation process differs and requires you to access your account through the Amino website or app settings.
Step 1: log in to your Amino account
Open the Amino app or visit the Amino website and log in with your account credentials. Navigate to your account settings, typically accessible through a profile icon or menu button in the app.
Step 2: locate your payment and subscription settings
Look for a section labelled Payment Methods, Billing History or Subscriptions within your account settings. This section displays your saved payment methods and any active subscriptions or recurring charges. If Amino is no longer operating, this section may be unavailable or non-functional.
Step 3: remove or disable auto-renewal
If you locate an active subscription or auto-renewal setting, select the option to Cancel Subscription or Disable Auto-Renewal. Amino will typically ask you to confirm the cancellation. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page as evidence of your cancellation attempt.
Step 4: contact your payment provider if Amino is unresponsive
If Amino's website or app is non-functional or does not provide a cancellation option, you cannot cancel directly through Amino. In this case, contact your credit card issuer, debit card provider or bank directly and request a chargeback or refund for all Amino charges. Provide your bank with screenshots of your Amino account, billing statements and evidence of your cancellation attempts. Your bank can dispute the charges on your behalf under consumer protection rules.
Understanding refunds and timeline expectations
Refunds for Amino subscriptions operate on different timelines depending on your payment method and the specific circumstances of your cancellation.
Refunds after cancellation through app stores
If you cancel before your next billing date, you will not be charged again, but you typically do not receive a refund for the current billing period unless you cancel within Apple's or Google's refund window. Apple and Google both offer a limited refund window (typically 14 to 15 days from purchase) if you cancel shortly after subscribing. If you cancelled within this window, request a refund immediately through your account settings or by contacting support. Yafee recommends submitting refund requests in writing, as written documentation strengthens your case if you need to escalate to CASE or your payment provider.
Refunds for web-based payments and chargebacks
If you paid Amino directly and the service is no longer operational, you have a strong case for a chargeback or refund. Contact your bank and explain that the service has ceased and that you have attempted cancellation without success. Your bank can reverse charges under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and charge-back rules. Refunds typically take 5 to 10 business days after your bank processes the dispute.
What to do if refunds are denied
If your payment provider denies a refund request, escalate to CASE. Provide CASE with evidence of the service cessation, your cancellation attempts, billing statements and your payment provider's denial. CASE will investigate and apply pressure on both Amino and your payment provider to resolve the dispute. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers obtain refunds for unwanted subscriptions by guiding them through this escalation process.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Amino
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but small errors can extend your charges or prevent refunds. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable if you follow a clear process.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong location
The most common error is attempting to cancel through the Amino app itself rather than through your payment provider's settings. The Amino app does not have a built-in cancellation function. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play Store settings or your bank (depending on how you paid). If you only uninstall the Amino app, charges continue because the app store or payment method continues to process them.
Mistake 2: failing to cancel before the next billing date
If you cancel after your next billing date has passed, you will be charged again before the cancellation takes effect. Check your renewal date carefully and ensure you cancel at least 24 hours before that date. Most payment providers warn you about your renewal date, so review notification emails carefully.
Mistake 3: not documenting your cancellation
Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation are critical if you need to dispute charges later. Take screenshots of the cancellation screen from your payment provider, your subscription settings before and after cancellation, and your billing history. This documentation is essential if you escalate to CASE or your payment provider.
Mistake 4: ignoring charges after cancellation
If charges continue after your cancellation date, do not wait. Contact your payment provider within 7 days of the unwanted charge and dispute it immediately. The sooner you act, the faster resolution typically occurs. Yafee advises setting a reminder to check your billing statements one week after cancellation to catch any errors immediately.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not happen instantly, and you should understand what to expect in the days and weeks following your cancellation request.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you cancel through Apple, Google Play or your bank, your subscription status changes to "Cancelled" in your account settings. You retain access to Amino (or the premium features, depending on your subscription type) until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your access is restricted to free-tier features only. You will not be charged again after the current billing period ends.
Monitoring your billing after cancellation
Check your billing statements one week after your cancellation date to confirm no further charges appear. If an unwanted charge occurs, contact your payment provider immediately and dispute it. Keep your cancellation confirmation email from Apple, Google or your bank as evidence. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder to review your statement on this date.
Recovering mistaken charges
If you discover charges after cancellation, you have consumer rights to dispute them under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Contact your payment provider first and request a refund or chargeback. If the payment provider refuses, escalate to CASE within 30 days of the disputed charge. CASE will mediate between you and your payment provider to recover the funds.

Most Amino users subscribe through Apple or Google Play stores, as these integrate directly with their devices. If you have held an active subscription for several months, cancelling immediately stops further charges and can save you SGD 5 to SGD 50 per month, depending on your plan. Yafee users have recovered hundreds of dollars in aggregate subscription costs by identifying and cancelling dormant subscriptions like Amino.

Why you should cancel Amino now
Given that Amino ceased operations in December 2025, you receive no ongoing service value from your subscription. Continuing to pay for a non-operational platform is financially disadvantageous and may constitute an unfair charge under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Cancelling immediately stops future charges and preserves your right to dispute any charges incurred after the service ceased.
Furthermore, Yafee recommends cancelling within the next 7 days to maximise your chances of obtaining a refund for recent charges. Payment providers and CASE are more likely to reverse charges if you act promptly. Every week of delay reduces your leverage in refund negotiations.
If you cannot cancel through your payment provider or if you need to dispute charges, use these escalation contacts.

Amino correspondence address (reference only)
Due to Amino's apparent cessation of operations, physical mail sent to Amino may not be processed. However, if you wish to send a cancellation request in writing for documentation purposes, no confirmed Singapore-based address is currently available. Instead, escalate directly to CASE or your payment provider, as they have greater enforcement power than written communication to a non-operational service.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your Amino subscription is a straightforward process once you identify your payment method and access the correct cancellation portal. The critical steps are identifying whether you paid through Apple, Google Play or directly through Amino's website, accessing that platform's subscription settings, and confirming your cancellation through the provided interface. Document everything with screenshots, monitor your billing statement one week later, and dispute any unwanted charges immediately.
Your consumer rights under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protect you throughout this process. If Amino refuses to cancel or continues charging you, you can escalate to CASE or your payment provider, both of which have enforcement power to recover your funds. Given that Amino ceased operations in December 2025, you have a strong case for a refund if you act within the next 7 to 14 days.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers identify unwanted subscriptions, navigate cancellation processes and recover refunds from non-responsive service providers. Start your cancellation today using the platform-specific steps outlined above, and contact CASE immediately if you encounter any barriers or discover charges after your cancellation date. Your cancellation request will be processed within 24 hours, and Yafee's framework ensures you recover what you are owed.
