Temporarily hiding your profile
Discovery is the part of the app where you get to check out potential matches. You can turn Discovery off so that you won’t be shown to anyone in Discovery. To turn Discovery ON or OFF:
- Open Tinder
- Tap the profile icon
- Select Settings
- Scroll to Discovery
Even with Discovery off, you can still view and message your matches.
Note: Even with Discovery off, people you had already Liked may still be able to see your profile and Like you back; this means you might get new matches while you have Discovery turned off.
Permanently deleting your account
For security reasons, you’ll need to delete your Tinder account while signed in to the app or Tinder.com. Keep in mind, when you delete your account you permanently lose matches, messages, and other info associated with it. To delete your account:
- Sign in to the Tinder app or Tinder.com
- Tap the profile icon
- Go to Settings
- Scroll down and select Delete Account
Note: Deleting the Tinder app does not delete your account. If you purchased a Tinder subscription using your Apple ID or Google Play Store ID, deleting the app and/or your account does not cancel your subscription. If you subscribed on Android or Tinder for web (Tinder.com) using your credit card, deleting your account will cancel your subscription automatically.
