Want to delete your Tinder account for good? Here’s the step-by-step guide to remove your profile permanently and avoid common mistakes.

You’re done with Tinder. Maybe you found someone. Maybe you’re sick of the swipe game. Either way, you want out. So let’s answer it straight: how to delete your Tinder account?

This is the full guide — not just uninstalling the app, but actually wiping your data and profile for good.

Here’s What You’ll Learn

  • 🚫 The difference between deleting the app and your account
  • 🧹 How to delete your Tinder account step-by-step
  • 📲 How to do it on iPhone, Android, and Tinder Web
  • 🔒 What happens to your matches, messages, and data

Deleting the App ≠ Deleting Your Account

Let’s clear this up first. Deleting the Tinder app from your phone does NOT delete your account.

Your profile still shows up to others. Your matches can still see you. Your data is still there.

If you want out for real, you need to delete the account — not just the icon.

How to Delete Your Tinder Account on the App (iOS + Android)

Here’s the exact process:

  1. Open the Tinder app
  2. Tap your profile icon (top right)
  3. Go to Settings
  4. Scroll to the bottom
  5. Tap Delete Account
  6. Choose Delete My Account (not Pause)
  7. Confirm when asked why you’re leaving

Done. Your profile is now gone — permanently.

Not Ready to Quit? Try Pausing Instead

If you just want a break, Tinder lets you “pause” your profile. This hides you from new swipes but keeps your matches and convos intact.

To pause:

  • Go to Settings
  • Find “Show Me on Tinder”
  • Toggle it off

You’ll disappear from the swipe deck — but can still chat with past matches.

How to Delete Tinder Account on Desktop (Tinder Web)

If you're on a computer, you can delete your Tinder account at tinder.com.

  1. Log in with your account
  2. Click your profile icon (top left corner)
  3. Go to Settings
  4. Scroll down and click Delete Account

Same rules apply — it’s a permanent action. You’ll have to start fresh if you come back later.

What Happens After You Delete Your Tinder Account?

  • 🧹 Your profile is wiped
  • 🗑️ Matches, messages, likes = gone
  • 📧 You stop getting notifications
  • 🕵️‍♀️ No one can see you on the app anymore

Note: Deleting your account won’t cancel paid subscriptions. You’ll need to stop those manually.

How to Cancel Tinder Plus/Gold/Platinum

Deleting the app doesn't stop billing. You must cancel through your app store:

For iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap your name → Subscriptions
  3. Find Tinder → Tap Cancel Subscription

For Android:

  1. Open Google Play Store
  2. Tap Menu → Subscriptions
  3. Select Tinder → Cancel

Can You Recover a Deleted Tinder Account?

Nope. Once you delete it, it’s gone. There’s no “undo.” If you want back in, you’ll have to create a new account from scratch — new matches, new convos, new swipes.

Pro tip: If you're not 100% sure, pause your account instead.

Still Showing Up After Deleting Tinder?

If people say they’re still seeing your profile after deletion, they’re probably seeing a cached version. Tinder clears it after a few days.

If your profile's still live a week later, delete the app, clear cache, and make sure your account deletion actually went through.

So, how to delete your Tinder account? Go into Settings, scroll down, and hit Delete Account. Don’t just delete the app — wipe the profile completely. Cancel your subscription separately. And if you’re not sure yet? Just pause it. Simple.
