Start Free Scan →Log in and go to your OkCupid settings page (okcupid.com/settings).
Scroll all the way down and locate the 'Need a Break?' section, then click 'Go here'.
Choose 'Delete my account' (permanent) — do NOT choose 'Disable' unless you want a temporary pause.
Follow the prompts to confirm, and tell OkCupid why you're leaving if prompted.
If you paid via the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel your subscription THERE separately — deleting your OkCupid account does not stop that billing.
Go to Settings, scroll to 'Need a Break?', click 'Go here', then choose Delete or Disable.
Deleting permanently removes your account and all content — you can't come back. Disabling hides your profile from others but lets you re-open it later if you change your mind.
Yes, critical: deleting your OkCupid account does NOT stop Apple or Google subscriptions. You must cancel the subscription in your Apple ID settings or Google Play subscription management, or you'll keep being billed.
Tap your profile icon (bottom right), tap Settings, scroll down, tap 'Disable your account', then follow the prompts to choose Delete instead of Disable. Uninstalling the app does NOT delete your account.
Your profile, photos, chat history, and interactions are permanently deleted in line with OkCupid's privacy policy. Save any conversations you want to keep before deleting.
OkCupid states a data retention period of Indefinite after account deletion. Back-ups and statutory records can fall outside that figure, so request written confirmation from support if you need certainty.
The stated recovery window is 30 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: All content is permanently deleted — photos, chat history, and member interactions; You cannot reactivate a deleted account; App Store / Google Play subscriptions keep billing until you cancel them separately. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin — it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
OkCupid is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA — that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
