Delete Match Account

Do you need to delete match account because:

1. You found a perfect match.
2. Got a better alternative to like OkCupid, eHarmony, POF, etc.
3. Feel like you are killing too much of your productive time in the virtual world.
4. Don’t want to spend hard-earned money on a worthless subscription.

Whatever be the reason, if you are looking for the simplest way to delete Match.com account and cancel match subscription, then you are at the right place.

Things to consider before you close Match account

1. All your data in Match profile, including the chat history and matches you have found will be lost permanently after a year.
2. Other Match members can’t view your profile and pictures.
3. You can reactivate the account within a year. You just have to sign in to the Match account.
4. Make sure you’ve canceled the auto-renewal of Match subscription.

If you still wish to leave Match account, then follow our simplified and updated procedure to delete Match account in the article below. So, let’s begin.

Delete Match Account Using a Web-browser

You have to log in from a web browser to delete a Match account as there is not an option to do it from the app.

• Go to Match.com from a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc)
  
• If not already logged in, sign in to the account which you want to delete.
  
• Click on the settings icon that lies towards the top right corner of the page and select “Settings” from the dropdown menu that appears.
  
• In the settings page, click on Change/Cancel Membership.
• Since you are accessing the sensitive part Match will ask you to reenter your password. Type the password and then click on Continue Cancellation.
• Don’t forget to cancel the auto-renewal of your subscription before you proceed further. For this click on Subscription Status.
• After you are done checking your subscription status, click on “Cancel Membership and Remove Profile”.
  
• You have successfully deleted your Match account. You will receive a membership cancellation notice.
  

This process will deactivate the Match account, and it will take 365 days to delete it permanently. You can always return to Match.com and then start using it just by logging in with the same username and password.

But remember you can do this only within 365 days after that all your information on the match.com will be permanently removed.

Cancel Match subscription from Android

Though you cannot delete Match account using the application for Match, you can cancel the Match subscription and hide your account from Match search.

• Open the Match app.
• Tap on Menu option (three horizontal lines arranged in a row) that lies towards the top left corner of the page.
• Tap on “Settings” in the menu tab that slides out.
