How to delete your Tinder account

Tinder can be a fun way to start meeting new people. It can also be a hotbed of negativity under the wrong circumstances. If you think it’s time to call it quits with Tinder, we’ve got you covered. This is how to delete your account or hide your profile on Tinder.

How to hide your Tinder profile

Know that, if you choose the account deletion route, there’s no going back. All of your messages and history will be deleted, and you will need to create a new account if you ever want to go back.

Alternatively, you can hide your Tinder account. When you do this, your Tinder profile becomes invisible to everyone you haven’t already liked.

1. Go to the Profile tab in the Tinder app.
2. Tap SETTINGS.
3. Scroll down and toggle off Show me on Tinder.

How to delete your Tinder account

Deleting your Tinder account means wiping your information from the platform. Nobody new will be able to see your profile or know that you ever used Tinder. At the same time, your history and matches will also be deleted — and you are also going to want to cancel any ongoing subscriptions before you delete your account to make sure they don’t keep billing you.

1. Go to the Profile tab in the Tinder app.
2. Tap SETTINGS.
3. Scroll down and press Delete Account at the very bottom.
4. On the PAUSE MY ACCOUNT screen, tap Delete My Account >.
5. Provide a reason you’re deleting your account, then continue to finish and close your account.
