How to Permanently Delete a Tinder Account

Tinder is one of the most popular dating apps/platforms, with over 75 million reported active users per month. Users upload their photos, list personal information and interests to attract potential partners. With such a huge database, individual visibility is challenging, and your ranking can go down if you're not an active user.

Online platforms are prone to data breaches, and Tinder is no exception. It's essential to delete your account if you're not using it to protect your information. DoNotpay can help you even if you don't remember your password.

The application has three subscription tiers, i.e., Plus, Gold and Platinum. Members get to unlock different features depending on their subscription tier. While there's a privacy function within the platform, most information uploaded by users is visible to other users, including location when in active use. If you can't remember the last time you used your account, it's time to delete the online account.

Why Would You Want to Delete a Tinder Account?

There are several reasons why you would want to delete your account other than the fact that you just don't want to use it anymore. These include:

You're in a committed relationship.	The purpose of having a Tinder account is to meet other singles. If you're in a relationship or don't feel like online dating anymore, you may want to delete your account.
To protect your privacy.	Sensitive information is shared on the Tinder platform. If you're no longer using the app, you may want to delete it to protect your privacy.
To prevent credit card fraud.	To gain access to better features on Tinder, you need to buy a subscription, and payment is made via a credit/debit card. Even when you unsubscribe, Tinder still has access to your card details, which may be compromised in case of a breach of data.
To get rid of spam messages.	Tinder shares its information with select third parties. As long as your account is active, you'll get promotional messages either from Tinder or from their third-party associates since your email is still in their database.

What Problems Can You Encounter When Trying to Delete a Tinder Account?

Tinder's parent company, Match Group Holdings II LLC, has the app set up in a way that discourages account deletion. When trying to delete your Tinder account, you'll get a prompt to deactivate the account instead. If you have an inactive subscription, deactivating your account pauses your subscription so you can resume whenever you choose. However, your data will still be accessible to Tinder and third parties.

It's easy to give up during the process and opt for deactivation instead. DoNotpay is a better solution for deleting accounts you no longer use. You have to click once, no need for multiple confirmations.
