How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account
There are all kinds of reasons to delete a dating profile. Perhaps you’ve found that special somebody and you want to prove you’re committing by officially withdrawing from the world of online dating. Maybe you’ve decided you’re happy as a singleton or you just need a break from the minefield of swipes, matches, and “heys.” Well, whatever your motivation, AdultFriendFinder makes it super easy to delete your account and scrub your profile data permanently.
First, understand that deleting your account is different to cancelling your Gold membership. If you want to continue using AdultFriendFinder for free, or just want to stop your monthly payments, you can just cancel the subscription without deleting your entire account. Actual account deletion is a more permanent action. It’s worth noting that you’ll lose all of your profile info, all of your chat history, and all of your settings. So, maybe consider whether you 100 percent want to wipe all that information before you proceed.
If you do want to go ahead, you can choose whether to delete your account via a web browser or on your phone. The steps are different but the result is the same. But one big heads up for phone users: merely deleting your AFF app is not enough to delete your account. Here’s all the information you need.
