If you’ve attempted online dating, you’ve almost likely used Tinder, the app that popularized the concept of swiping right or left to signal interest in a person.
While you may use Tinder for a while, most people do not wish to rely on it permanently. Eventually, you will likely discover a match, start a relationship, and no longer be interested in receiving likes and messages from other users.
If you’re ready to stop using Tinder, you have two options for freezing your dating profile: You can temporarily conceal your profile from the Discovery part of the app, or deactivate your account completely.
How to hide your Tinder account temporarily
To hide your Tinder account temporarily:
- Open the Tinder app on your device.
- Tap on the profile icon in the top left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap on “Settings.”
- Scroll down and tap on “Discovery Preferences.”
- Tap on “Show me on Tinder.”
- Toggle the switch to the “off” position.
This will hide your profile from other users, and you will not appear in their list of potential matches. If you want to make your profile visible again, simply follow the same steps and toggle the switch back to the “on” position.
Note: Hiding your profile does not delete your account, and you can still access your messages and matches while your profile is hidden. If you want to delete your account permanently, you will need to follow a different set of steps.
How to delete your Tinder account
To delete your Tinder account, follow these steps:
- Open the Tinder app on your device.
- Tap on the profile icon in the top left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap on the “Delete Account” button.
- You will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your account. Tap “Delete” to confirm.
Keep in mind that once you delete your account, all of your matches, messages, and other account information will be permanently erased. If you decide to use Tinder again in the future, you will need to create a new account.
If you are unable to access the app or do not have it installed, you can also delete your account from the Tinder website:
- Go to the Tinder website (https://www.tinder.com/) and log in to your account.
- Click on the “Settings” button in the top right corner of the page.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “Delete Account” button.
- You will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your account. Click “Delete” to confirm.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
