How to cancel Find My Kids and protect your family's privacy
What Find My Kids is and how it works
Find My Kids is a parental monitoring application that enables you to track your child's device location in real time, view their movement history, and receive alerts when they arrive at or depart from designated safe zones. The app combines GPS tracking with notification features designed to give parents visibility over their child's whereabouts throughout the day.
Core features and what you get
The application provides real-time location tracking on your child's device, historical movement data that shows where they have been, geofencing functionality that sends you automatic notifications when they enter or leave specific locations such as school or home, and sound-listening capabilities. You can download Find My Kids from Apple's App Store for iOS devices, Google Play for Android phones, or purchase directly through the developer's website at web.findmykids.org. Each distribution channel operates independently, which means your cancellation process depends on where you originally subscribed.
Where you purchase and manage your subscription
Your purchase location matters significantly for cancellation. You may have bought your Find My Kids subscription through Apple's App Store ecosystem, Google Play on Android devices, or directly from the developer's website. Each platform maintains separate billing systems and requires different cancellation procedures. Understanding which service processed your payment is your first step toward cancelling smoothly.
Pricing plans and what you pay in singapore
Find My Kids operates on a subscription model with multiple tiers priced in Singapore dollars, each offering different monitoring capabilities and billing periods.

Monthly plans offer flexibility and are simpler to cancel than annual subscriptions, since you avoid long-term lock-in commitments. If you subscribed to an annual plan, you may face restrictions or penalties depending on the terms you agreed to at purchase.
Should you cancel Find My Kids
Your decision to cancel depends on whether the service aligns with your family's current needs, privacy expectations, and parenting philosophy.
Reasons to keep your subscription
You should maintain your Find My Kids subscription if you have younger children who benefit from location monitoring, if you live in an area where personal safety is a genuine concern, or if your family has explicitly agreed that location sharing is appropriate and necessary. Active monitoring provides practical peace of mind in circumstances where your child travels independently, attends school in a distant location, or frequently moves between different areas during the day.
Reasons to cancel your subscription
Cancel Find My Kids if your child has reached an age where you've mutually agreed to reduce parental oversight and respect their developing autonomy. End your subscription if you're dissatisfied with app performance, find the feature set limited compared to your needs, believe the cost no longer justifies the value you receive, or have discovered a superior alternative that better serves your family's requirements. Additionally, if you've experienced billing errors, unexpected charges, or poor customer service from the developer, cancellation may be your first step toward resolving these problems and preventing further unwanted charges.
How to cancel Find My Kids step by step
Your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform processed your original subscription payment. Yafee recommends identifying your purchase location before you begin, as attempting to cancel through the wrong channel will delay the process. Below are the specific procedures for each major platform.
Cancel your subscription through google play on android devices
If you purchased Find My Kids via Google Play on an Android phone or tablet, follow these steps to stop automatic renewal and prevent future charges.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.

Cancel your subscription through apple's app store on iOS devices

- Open the Settings app on your iOS device.

- Visit web.findmykids.org in your web browser.
- Navigate to the developer's official website.
- Log in to your account using your email address and password.

Your legal position and consumer rights
In Singapore, your right to cancel a subscription is protected under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which establishes your entitlement to transparent pricing, accurate service descriptions, and the ability to withdraw from continuous supply arrangements under specific conditions.
What singapore law says about subscription cancellation
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you possess the right to cancel a subscription contract if the supplier fails to provide clear, upfront information about the duration, cost, and automatic renewal terms before you agree to purchase. Furthermore, if Find My Kids or its payment processors charged you without your explicit informed consent, or if they made cancellation deliberately difficult or obscured, you have legal grounds to dispute the charges and demand a refund. Yafee advises that companies must provide cancellation mechanisms that are equally easy to use as the subscription purchase process itself.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Find My Kids at any time, subject to the terms of the subscription plan you originally agreed to. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled immediately and take effect at the end of your current billing cycle, with no penalties. Annual subscriptions may include early cancellation terms; however, Singapore consumer law protects you from unfair contract terms that make cancellation unreasonably difficult or impose excessive penalties. If Find My Kids or its payment processor (Apple, Google, or the developer) refuses to process your cancellation, or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you may lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS), which enforces consumer protection legislation in the country.
What happens after you cancel Find My Kids
Understanding the timeline and consequences of cancellation helps you plan the transition away from the app and manage your family's expectations.
Your access timeline after cancellation
When you cancel Find My Kids, your access does not terminate immediately. Instead, you retain full functionality until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you subscribed on a monthly plan and your next renewal date is 15 March, cancelling on 5 March means you can continue using all features until 15 March. On 15 March, your access ceases and the app will no longer send location alerts or allow you to view your child's location data. You will not be charged again after this date. This grace period gives you time to inform your child about the change, plan for any adjustments to your monitoring approach, or transition to an alternative service if you decide to do so.
What you lose after the cancellation date
Once your subscription ends, the Find My Kids app becomes non-functional on your device and you lose access to all monitoring features, including real-time location tracking, geofence alerts, movement history, and sound listening. The app may remain installed on your device, but it will display a message prompting you to renew your subscription. You can manually uninstall the app from your device at any time. Your historical location data will be deleted according to the developer's data retention policy; Yafee recommends downloading or documenting any important location records before your cancellation date if you require them for any purpose.
Refunds, reversals, and disputing charges
Cancellation does not automatically generate a refund. However, Singapore consumer law and payment processor policies allow you to request a refund under specific circumstances.
When you are entitled to a refund
You may request a refund if you cancel within a reasonable period after purchase and have not substantially used the service. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act does not define an exact number of days, but payment processors such as Apple and Google typically honour refund requests within 48 hours of purchase. If you subscribed to an annual plan and paid S$99.98, then discovered the service does not meet your needs within days, you have grounds to request a full or partial refund from your payment processor. Consequently, you should act quickly if you believe you are entitled to a refund.
How to request a refund
For App Store purchases, navigate to Settings > [Your Name] > Purchase History, find your Find My Kids transaction, and tap "Report a Problem" to contact Apple's support team with your refund request. For Google Play, open the app's Play Store page, scroll to the purchase history section, and select "Refund" within 48 hours of purchase. For developer website purchases, email the support address listed on web.findmykids.org with your transaction ID and a clear explanation of why you believe a refund is warranted. Payment processors process legitimate refund requests within 5 to 10 business days, and the funds return to your original payment method.
Disputing unauthorised charges
If Find My Kids charged you repeatedly after you cancelled, or if charges appeared on your statement without your authorisation, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you took action to stop the charges. Your bank can reverse the unauthorised transactions and credit your account. Additionally, file a formal complaint with the CCCS, which investigates unfair billing practices and can compel refunds on your behalf.
Common mistakes when cancelling Find My Kids
Most cancellation problems stem from avoidable mistakes. Yafee wants you to cancel successfully the first time, so pay close attention to these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling within the app instead of through your payment processor
Deleting the Find My Kids app from your device or logging out does not cancel your subscription. Many users make this error and then wonder why they are still being charged. You must cancel through the App Store, Google Play, or the developer's website. Uninstalling the app is a separate step that you do after your subscription is officially cancelled.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If your next billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, your payment may have already processed before your cancellation reaches the payment processor. Some systems update with a delay of 24 to 48 hours. To avoid an unwanted charge, cancel at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date. Check your confirmation email to confirm the exact date your access ends.
Mistake 3: ignoring your confirmation email
Both Apple and Google send confirmation emails when you cancel. Save these emails as proof of your cancellation request. If the company later claims you never cancelled, your confirmation email is your evidence. Additionally, note the cancellation confirmation reference number or ID, which you may need if you later dispute a charge.
Mistake 4: not checking for family sharing access on apple accounts
If you purchased Find My Kids through an Apple family sharing account, other family members may still have access to the subscription. Cancelling your own access does not affect other users unless you are the account owner. Verify that all household members are aware of the cancellation and have made alternative arrangements if they still need monitoring functionality.
Each payment platform handles cancellation differently. The table below summarises the key differences to help you choose the fastest route.
| Platform |

Google Play and Apple's App Store offer the most straightforward cancellation experience, typically processing your request within seconds. If you purchased directly from the developer's website, allow up to 24 hours for processing, particularly if the company operates in a different time zone.
What to do if Find My Kids refuses to cancel
In rare cases, a company may claim technical issues prevent cancellation or may attempt to impose penalties or obstacles. You have legal recourse in Singapore.
Step 1: request cancellation in writing
Email Find My Kids' support team at the address listed on web.findmykids.org with a clear written request to cancel your subscription. Include your account email address, subscription plan name, and the date you wish cancellation to take effect. Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 48 hours. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Step 2: escalate to your payment processor
If the developer does not respond or refuses to cancel, contact Apple, Google, or your bank (depending on which platform charged you). Provide them with proof that you requested cancellation and that the company ignored your request. Your payment processor can override the company and cancel the subscription on your behalf, protecting you from further charges.
Step 3: file a complaint with the CCCS
If the company continues to charge you after you have cancelled, or if your payment processor refuses to assist, lodge a formal complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore. The CCCS investigates unfair trading practices and can compel companies to issue refunds and cease unlawful charges. You can file a complaint online at www.cccs.gov.sg or contact them by phone at 6100 1800.
After cancellation: next steps and checklist
Cancelling Find My Kids requires follow-up actions to ensure a clean break and to protect yourself from future disputes.
Cancellation checklist
- Confirm your cancellation by email or screenshot from your payment processor's system.
- Note the exact date your access will end (the end of your current billing cycle).
- Download or screenshot any important location history or data if you need it for records.
- Inform your child about the change and discuss any adjustments to your family's safety practices.
- Uninstall the Find My Kids app from all your devices after your access period ends.
- Check your bank or credit card statement for the next two billing cycles to confirm no further charges appear.
- Save your cancellation confirmation email for at least one year as proof of your action.
- If you switch to an alternative monitoring service, ensure you have set it up before your Find My Kids access terminates.
If you require direct contact with the company after cancellation, or if you have an unresolved billing dispute, reach Find My Kids' support through the official channels listed on their website. The developer is LETEM LTD, a company registered to provide the Find My Kids application. Yafee advises using email support whenever possible, as written correspondence creates a documented record of your communication that protects you in disputes.
Official support contact information
Visit web.findmykids.org and navigate to their "Contact" or "Support" page to find the current email address for billing inquiries and cancellation disputes. The company typically responds to support emails within 24 to 48 business hours. If you do not receive a response within this timeframe, escalate to your payment processor or the CCCS.
