In recent years, dating apps have gained enormous popularity, transforming the way people connect and build relationships. Platforms like Tinder, Bumble, Happn, among others, have allowed millions of users to search from casual encounters to more serious relationships, all from their mobile devices.
This boom, driven by digitalization and changing social habits, offers an alternative to traditional ways of meeting people and establishing romantic bonds. Ease of use, global access, and customizable features make these applications a key tool for social interaction in today’s digital age.
According to Tinder information, this platform has more than 50 million active users per month and in its history they have achieved more than 630 million downloads. Even given this great popularity among mobile device users, Tinder and other dating applications have implemented subscription plans which provide benefits and “more chances of finding the ideal partner” in exchange for a monthly fee.

How to delete Tinder account?
Now, if you no longer want to use the app, for whatever reason, you can follow these steps to delete your account forever and, with it, your data. You can follow these steps.
- Open the application.
- Once inside, you must select the profile, located in the lower left corner of the screen.
- Next, you need to click on the nut in the upper right corner to access the account settings.
- In the settings menu, you must scroll to the end and select the “Delete account” option.
- Two options will appear, and you must choose “Delete my account”.
- Tinder will ask for a reason for removal, but you can select the “Skip” option.
- Finally, you must confirm by clicking on “Delete my account” again to complete the process.
The other option is “Pause my account”, which allows you to temporarily deactivate the profile without deleting it completely. By selecting this option, the profile is no longer visible to other users, which means that it will not appear in search results nor will it be possible to receive new matches.
This option is useful for those who want to take a break from the app without losing previous data, conversations, and connections, with the ability to reactivate the account later.
The pause can be done by following the same steps, but instead of “Delete my account” you must select the “Pause my account” option.

Tinder saves user data for a period of 90 days after account deletion is requested. During this time, users can easily recover their account.
The process is simple. It is only necessary to log in again, either in the application or in the web version of Tinder, using the username and password of the deleted account. Doing so will automatically restore the account and the deletion request will be removed from the servers.
