How to cancel NGL and stop anonymous messages on your terms
What NGL is and why you might want to leave
NGL is an anonymous messaging app that allows your followers and friends to send you questions and feedback without revealing their identity. You create a shareable link, distribute it across social media platforms, and receive anonymous messages in your inbox. The novelty often fades quickly, messages become repetitive or toxic, or you simply decide you want to reclaim your privacy and reduce app clutter.
The app offers free access plus optional paid features, including NGL Pro, which unlocks hints about message senders, early access to new features, and exclusive Pro games. If you have subscribed to NGL Pro or made in-app purchases, Yafee is here to guide you through the exact cancellation process without confusion or unnecessary delays.
Free and paid NGL features explained
NGL's core anonymous messaging function is free, but recurring subscriptions and one-time purchases accumulate quickly. Understanding what you are paying for represents the first step toward cancelling with confidence and protecting your wallet from unexpected charges.
Why singapore users cancel NGL
Users across Singapore cancel NGL for several reasons: the novelty wears off, messages become unwanted or offensive, privacy concerns emerge, or they simply want to reduce subscription costs and app clutter. Whatever your reason, Yafee makes the cancellation process straightforward and transparent so you retain full control.

If you are subscribed to NGL Pro, your recurring charge will hit your payment method each month unless you cancel before the renewal date. One-time purchases cannot be cancelled, but you retain permanent access to what you have already purchased. Yafee recommends checking your billing history immediately if you are unsure what you have been charged over recent months.
Should you cancel NGL
This section helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move for you at this moment.
Strong reasons to cancel NGL
You should cancel if the app no longer brings you value, if you feel unsafe receiving anonymous messages, if you want to reduce your subscription costs, or if you simply forgot you had an active subscription. Cancelling stops all future charges immediately, though you retain access to your account and message history until your current billing period ends.
What happens to your account and messages after cancellation
Cancelling your NGL Pro subscription does not delete your account or your message history. Your profile remains active, new messages can still arrive, and you retain the ability to read them all. However, if you cancel before your current billing period ends, you lose access to Pro features such as sender hints and early feature access. If you want to delete your account entirely rather than simply cancel your subscription, you will need to contact NGL support directly through the app or their website.
Yafee advises you to download or screenshot any messages you want to keep before cancelling, just in case you change your mind later.
Your consumer rights and legal protection in singapore
Your right to cancel and your protections as a consumer are grounded in Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which protects you from unfair contract terms and misleading billing practices.
Your legal position as an NGL user
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to cancel a subscription service within a reasonable timeframe and without undue penalty. NGL must not impose unreasonable cancellation terms or charge you after you have clearly requested cancellation. Furthermore, if NGL continues to charge your card after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, this constitutes an unfair trading practice, and you can lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). In accordance with this framework, you must document your cancellation request by taking screenshots of your cancellation confirmation on the app or your payment provider's platform.
If NGL refuses to refund you
If you believe NGL has charged you unfairly or has refused a legitimate cancellation request, you can escalate your complaint to the CCCS. The CCCS investigates breaches of consumer protection law and has the authority to order refunds and penalty payments. Consequently, you should gather evidence of all charges, your cancellation request, and any correspondence with NGL support before filing a complaint with the CCCS.
How to cancel NGL on iPhone
Cancelling your NGL Pro subscription on iPhone through the App Store takes less than two minutes and requires no contact with customer support.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Scroll down and tap App Store
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner

How to cancel NGL on android
Cancelling your NGL Pro subscription on Android through the Google Play Store follows a similar process and takes approximately two minutes.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu
- This opens your subscription management portal
- Tap Subscriptions
- You will see all your active and cancelled subscriptions
- Tap NGL to open your subscription details
- Scroll if necessary to locate NGL in your list
- Tap Cancel subscription
- Google Play will display your cancellation options and any retention offers
- Select your reason for cancellation if prompted
- Tap Cancel subscription to confirm
After you complete this process, your NGL Pro subscription will be cancelled, and Google Play will send you a confirmation email. No additional charges will appear on your payment method once your current billing period expires.
How to cancel NGL directly through the app
If you prefer to cancel directly through NGL's settings rather than through your app store, you can initiate cancellation within the app itself.
- Open the NGL app on your device
- Make sure you are logged into your account
- Navigate to your profile or settings section
- This is usually found by tapping your profile picture or a settings icon
- Look for Subscription, Billing, or NGL Pro options
- Tap this option to access your subscription management
- Select Cancel subscription or Manage subscription
- You may see a retention offer or prompt asking why you want to cancel
- Confirm your cancellation request
- NGL will display a confirmation message on screen
Nevertheless, we recommend also cancelling through your App Store or Google Play account to ensure a complete cancellation. Some cancellations initiated within apps do not process correctly, so double-checking through your payment provider eliminates this risk entirely.
What happens after you cancel NGL
Understanding what occurs immediately after cancellation helps you manage your expectations and ensure you have not lost access to anything you need.
Your access and billing after cancellation
After you cancel your NGL Pro subscription, you retain access to your account and all your messages until your current billing period ends. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th of the month and cancel on the 20th, you keep Pro features until the 15th of the following month. After that date, your account automatically downgrades to the free tier, and you lose access to sender hints and Pro games. You will not be charged again after your current billing period expires.
Retrieving your messages before losing pro access
Yafee recommends taking action before your Pro access expires. Download or screenshot any messages you want to preserve, as the app does not provide an official export feature. Furthermore, if you ever want to reactivate NGL Pro, you can simply resubscribe at any time and regain full access to your Pro features and message history.
Checking your billing history after cancellation
Log into your App Store or Google Play account and review your billing history to confirm that the final charge for your current billing period has been processed and that no additional charges appear after your cancellation date. If you see unexpected charges after your cancellation, take screenshots and contact NGL support or your payment provider immediately.
Refunds and disputed charges
Understanding your refund rights helps you recover money if NGL has charged you unfairly or after a valid cancellation request.
Refund eligibility and timelines
If you cancel within a few days of being charged and request a refund from your payment provider, you have a reasonable chance of success. Most credit card issuers and digital payment platforms allow refund requests within 30 to 90 days of the charge. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to request a refund if NGL charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request or if the service was not provided as promised.
How to request a refund from your payment provider
If NGL will not refund you directly, contact your card issuer or payment provider and request a chargeback or refund. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation and any evidence that you submitted a valid cancellation request. The payment provider will investigate your claim and may rule in your favour if you have clear evidence that the charge was unauthorised.
When NGL may refuse a refund
NGL is unlikely to refund you if you used the Pro features during your billing period, even if you cancel near the end of that period. One-time purchases such as individual hint unlocks or permanent hint access are non-refundable by design. However, if NGL charged you multiple times in a single day or continued charging after your cancellation date, you have strong grounds for a refund.
Common mistakes when cancelling NGL
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few common errors can delay your release from charges or leave you confused about your status.
Not cancelling through your payment provider
Many users cancel within the NGL app but forget to cancel through their App Store or Google Play account. This leaves your subscription technically active and open to renewal. Always cancel through both the app and your payment provider to guarantee no further charges.
Assuming account deletion cancels your subscription
Deleting the NGL app does not cancel your subscription. Your App Store or Google Play subscription remains active and continues to charge you. You must explicitly cancel your subscription through your payment provider's settings, not simply uninstall the app.
Missing the renewal date
If you cancel after your renewal date but before you notice the charge, you have already paid for another month. Check your subscription renewal date before cancelling so you can time your cancellation to avoid an unwanted charge.
Not saving your cancellation confirmation
Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation immediately after you cancel. If a dispute arises, you will need this evidence to prove you submitted a valid cancellation request. Store this screenshot safely in a folder or email it to yourself.
