People will still see your profile and will be able to swipe you right.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/hide-tinder-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hiding or pausing your Tinder profile<\/a> is kind of the middle road between deleting your Tinder account and deleting the app from your phone. When you hide your profile, your profile won\u2019t be seen by others, but you can still see and continue the conversations you had before pausing your profile. For this, you have to turn &#8220;Show me on Tinder&#8221; off in your app settings.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you delete your Tinder account, your Tinder profile will be deleted, so all the previous matches and <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/how-to-delete-tinder-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conversations will be deleted<\/a> as well. Once you want to be back on Tinder, you have to create a new profile. However, if you don&#8217;t wait at least three months before restarting your account, your Tinder account<a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-shadowban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> might get shadowbanned.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_Tinder_account_and_restart_your_account\"><\/span>Delete\u00a0 Tinder account and restart your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>One of the main reasons people deleted their Tinder account and still do this is so they can start a brand new one. The main reason for this is that the Tinder algorithm has a so-called<a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-hacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> new profile boost<\/a> for a new Tinder profile.<\/p>\r\n<p>This means that a new profile is getting way more profile visibility than an account that was created months ago. You can think about this as a natural <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boost<\/a> that you didn\u2019t have to pay for and lasts for days. Pretty awesome, right?<\/p>\r\n<p>Although Tinder claims they don\u2019t specifically use the ELO score to rank profiles, they must use a similar algorithm to rank profiles, let\u2019s call it attractiveness score. This means that if your profile has a lower attractiveness score, you will have a hard time getting shown to profiles that on the higher part of the attractiveness scale.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you delete your Tinder account and start a new, you won\u2019t have any swiping history that the attractiveness score derives from, so you will have a better chance of getting visibility from profiles with higher attractiveness score.<\/p>\r\n<p>As too many people started doing this, Tinder not surprisingly took some actions against it. From Tinder 9.0 version if you do this <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/reset-tinder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">account reset<\/a> procedure right after you deleted your Tinder account, you will not only not get any beginner boost, but actually Tinder might <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-shadowban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shadowban<\/a> you without telling you that it has done so.<\/p>\r\n<p>There are still workarounds to be able to do the account reset right after you delete your Tinder account. You just have to make sure that Tinder can\u2019t connect your new Tinder account to the one you deleted. We have a comprehensive article on how you can make sure that your account reset works and you don&#8217;t<a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-account-banned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> get banned.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_Tinder_and_data_Tinder_stores\"><\/span>Deleting Tinder and data Tinder stores<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you don&#8217;t do the reset right, Tinder can identify the Tinder accounts reset very simply. As they state in their privacy policy and terms of service, they store your account data for 3 months after you have deleted your Tinder account. So if you start a new profile, they can easily identify you either by your phone number or your Facebook profile.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can\u2019t ask them to delete these data, but you can check what kind of data they store about you.<\/p>\r\n<p>Just go to <a href=\"https:\/\/account.gotinder.com\/data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tinder.com data section<\/a> and add your Tinder profile information and an e-mail and they will send you all the data they store. After you delete your Tinder account they will only hang to your data for 3 months. After 3 months, they shouldn\u2019t have access to any data about you. In this case, you don\u2019t have to do any tricks to do the account reset right, you just have to start a new account and you can take advantage of the new profile boost.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_Tinder_account_and_subscriptions\"><\/span>Deleting Tinder account and subscriptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>It is important to add that deleting your Tinder account won\u2019t cancel your Tinder Gold or Tinder Plus subscriptions, so you might be still charged if you don\u2019t cancel your subscription before deleting your account. Therefore you have to cancel your subscriptions, before deleting your account.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_hiding_your_Tinder_profile\"><\/span>Temporarily hiding your Tinder profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>As we have already mentioned, if you want to take a break from Tinder, the better option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/hide-tinder-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hide your profile.<\/a> When you hide your profile, you can still see your Tinder matches and continue your conversations with them. You can do this by turning the Discovery option off. This can be turned back on whenever you feel like.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_the_Tinder_app_from_your_phone\"><\/span>Delete the Tinder app from your phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>It is important to emphasize once again that deleting (uninstalling) the app from your phone won\u2019t have any effect on your account. (see above). However, there might be still reasons to delete the Tinder app. With <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-for-desktop-pc-mobile-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tinder&#8217;s browser version, tinder.com<\/a> you can still use Tinder\u2019s main functionalities, swiping, messaging, etc, so having the app on your phone is not necessary anymore for using Tinder.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is a good idea to delete the app when you are addicted to Tinder. Tinder is a great app, but if you are checking it every 5 minutes, it is an addiction that can have a negative impact on other parts of your life. If this is the case, you can easily delete the Tinder app, so it is more difficult to check your Tinder updates.<\/p>\r\n<p>Another reason might be that your phone doesn\u2019t have enough data storage, and Tinder takes too much space on your phone. In this case, you can delete the app, and still use the app on your phone, in the browser version of the app, Tinder.com.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Deactivate_Tinder_FAQ\"><\/span><strong>How to Deactivate Tinder FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1592339824036\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_If_You_Delete_The_Tinder_App_From_Your_Phone\"><\/span>What Happens If You Delete The Tinder App From Your Phone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely nothing.
