Key Highlights
- Unlike other platforms, Hinge lets users delete their accounts manually from the app.
- You can even pause the profile on Hinge if you don’t like to delete the account permanently.
Generally, users prefer to delete their dating profile from the platform when they don’t find a suitable match. Similarly, if you don’t find a suitable match or unsatisfied with the features, you can delete your Hinge account permanently. Deleting your account will erase all your personal information, including photos, chats, etc. Moreover, you must cancel the subscription before deleting the account, as deleting the app or account doesn’t cancel the subscription.
