Have you met your match and want to delete your Hinge account? Fortunately, Hinge is the dating app that's meant to be deleted, so the process is very easy! If you uninstalled the app already, you'll need to reinstall it to delete your account first since uninstalling the app does not delete your account. Nor does deleting your account automatically cancel your subscription. This wikiHow article walks you through the process of deleting your account on Hinge as well as unsubscribing to it.

Things You Should Know

  • Simply uninstalling the app will not delete your account, so you need to delete it manually before uninstalling.
  • To delete your account, open Hinge and go to "Settings/Account > Delete or Pause Account > Delete Account."
  • Once you've deleted your account, make sure you cancel any subscriptions you have to Hinge with your Apple ID or in Google Play.

    • If you created the account with your Facebook information, you'll most likely want to remove that connection. To do so, open Facebook, then go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Apps & Websites > Edit > Hinge and tap Remove .
    • When you delete Hinge, all your account content, matches, conversations, photos, and profile information will be deleted. This information will no longer be available for other users as well as yourself.
    • If you get an error message that you can't delete your profile, something might be wrong with the software, so simply try again later.
