Learn how to delete your Bumble account permanently in 2024. Step-by-step guide to remove your profile and cancel subscriptions the right way.
Ready to move on from Bumble?
Whether you found love, got tired of swiping, or just want a break, deleting your Bumble account is quick — if you know where to look.
Here’s a simple, no-fuss guide on how to delete your Bumble profile permanently in 2024.
Step 1: Open the Bumble App
First, log into your Bumble app. Deleting your account has to be done through the app — not the website.
Tip: Make sure you’re using the latest version of the app for smooth deletion.
Step 2: Tap Your Profile Icon
In the app, head to the bottom left corner and tap on your profile photo.
This brings up your profile and all account settings.
Step 3: Access “Settings”
Once you’re on your profile page:
- Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner (this is your Settings menu).
Step 4: Scroll Down to “Delete Account”
Inside Settings, scroll all the way down until you find the "Delete Account" option.
Important: Do not just log out — logging out won’t delete your profile!
Step 5: Confirm Your Deletion
Bumble will ask you a few quick questions like:
- Why are you leaving?
- Would you like to "Pause" instead of deleting?
Choose “Delete Account” and confirm when prompted.
Warning: Deleting your account is permanent. You can’t recover matches, chats, or profile info later.
How to Cancel Bumble Boost or Premium Subscriptions
If you paid for Bumble Boost or Premium, deleting your account does NOT automatically cancel your subscription!
To Cancel Bumble Subscription on iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Tap your name > Subscriptions
- Find Bumble and tap "Cancel Subscription"
To Cancel Bumble Subscription on Android:
- Open Google Play Store
- Tap Profile > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions
- Select Bumble and tap "Cancel"
Tip: Always cancel subscriptions first, then delete the app to avoid extra charges.
What Happens After You Delete Bumble?
- Your profile vanishes permanently.
- All matches, messages, and photos are wiped.
- You’ll need a brand-new account if you ever want to return.
Note: Some info (like chats) may stay visible to other users for a short time until their app syncs.
Alternative: Pausing Your Bumble Account
Not 100% sure if you want to delete your Bumble forever?
Instead, you can “Pause” your account, which:
- Hides your profile from new users.
- Keeps your matches and conversations safe.
- Lets you come back anytime without losing progress.
Best for: People taking a dating break, not quitting forever.
