Step 4

Follow the prompts to confirm, and tell OkCupid why you're leaving if prompted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between deleting and disabling my OkCupid account?

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.

I paid for a subscription through the App Store or Google Play — do I need to do anything else?

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.

How do I delete my OkCupid account on the app?

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.

What happens to my matches and messages when I delete my 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.
