Deleting your Tinder account

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:

1. Open Tinder
2. Tap the profile icon
3. Select Settings  
4. 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 into 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: 

1. Sign into the Tinder app or Tinder.com
2. Tap the profile icon
3. Go to Settings
4. Scroll down and select Delete Account

Note: Deleting the Tinder app does not delete your account. If you subscribed to Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold 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.
