How to delete your Tinder account
Well, the time has come to delete your Tinder account. Maybe you're a lucky user who's found your person! Or maybe you're just sick of the fire emblem staring back at you every weekend night when you don't have a date.
Either way, here's how to do it.
How to delete your Tinder account
To permanently delete your Tinder account, you must be signed in either on the app or the browser site (Tinder.com). Tap on the profile icon, then go to Settings. Scroll down and click "Delete Account." This is the same thing as deleting your Tinder profile.

If you bought a subscription with your Apple ID or Google Play ID, you must cancel the subscription separately. Here are instructions for how to cancel an Apple subscriptionand how to cancel a Google Play subscription.
There's good news if you purchased a Tinder subscription with a credit card through Tinder.com or Android, however: Deleting your account will automatically cancel your subscription.
Deleting your Tinder profile
Deleting your account as described above erases your profile, matches, and messages.
What if I just want a break from Tinder?
If you want a break from the app but don't want to permanently delete everything, you can hide your profile from the "card stack" (or pool of Tinder users in your area).

When this is turned off, you can still see and chat with your matches. As Tinder clarifies on their site, however, some people you may have swiped right on (or Liked) may still see you and Like back— so even when you're not in the card stack, you can get more matches.
Should you ever want to hop back on the popular dating app, you can create a new account. If not, today is the first day of your swipe-free life!
