Delete Your Account
If you no longer wish to use Winklr, you can deactivate your account. Before doing so, we recommend downloading a copy of your data first.
Export your data first
Before deactivating, you may want to request a copy of your personal data:
- Go to Settings > Download Data.
- Tap Request Data.
- Your data will be sent to your registered email address.
For full details, see our Data Export article.
Steps to deactivate your account
- Open the app and go to Settings.
- Tap Account details.
- Tap Deactivate your account.
- Review the information carefully and confirm the deactivation.
Once confirmed, your account will be suspended for 14 days and you will be logged out immediately.
What happens when you deactivate?
- Your profile is removed from discovery, so other users will no longer be able to find you.
- You will be logged out of the app.
- Existing conversations you have had with other users may still be visible to them.
- If you log in again during the 14-day suspension period, your account will be reactivated.
- If you do not log in during the 14-day suspension period, your account will be permanently deleted.
Important notes
- Account deletion becomes permanent after 14 days if you do not log back in.
- If you just want a break from the app, consider turning off Discovery mode instead. This hides your profile and prevents others from finding you, without deleting your account.
