Whether you have met someone, need a break, or simply want your data off the app, deleting a Feeld account is quick once you know the steps — and a few traps to avoid. The most common mistakes are forgetting to cancel a Majestic subscription before deleting (which can leave you paying for an app you no longer use) and confusing a temporary pause with a permanent delete. This guide walks through both options step by step, explains exactly what disappears and what may linger, and covers the housekeeping worth doing first. 18+ only. Last reviewed: June 2026.
Pause vs delete: know the difference
Feeld lets you either temporarily hide your profile or permanently delete your account, and they are not the same thing. Choosing the wrong one is the most common mistake people make.
| Pause / hide | Delete | |
|---|---|---|
| Reversible? | Yes — reappear when you choose | No — permanent |
| Your profile | Hidden from others | Removed |
| Your data | Kept for up to 12 months | Deleted per Feeld's policy |
| Best for | A temporary break | A permanent exit |
If you just need a break — you are seeing someone, or want a breather — pause (Feeld's reversible option) and keep the option to return. Note that Feeld keeps a paused account's data for 12 months; if you do not log back in within a year it is permanently deleted, and Feeld automatically pauses accounts after about 90 days of inactivity. Only choose delete when you are certain you want everything gone now.
Cancel Majestic first (do not skip this)
If you pay for Feeld's Majestic subscription, cancel it before you delete your account — deleting the account does not automatically stop the subscription. Because Majestic is usually billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the charge lives with them, not just with Feeld.
Cancel it where you bought it: in your Apple ID subscriptions (iPhone) or Google Play subscriptions (Android). Skipping this is the single most common way people end up paying for an app they have already left. Confirm the subscription shows as cancelled before moving on to deletion.
How to delete your Feeld account: step by step
Once any subscription is cancelled, deletion happens inside the app's settings.
- Open Feeld and go to your profile.
- Tap into Settings (the menu or gear icon).
- Find the account or privacy section listing pause and delete options.
- Choose Delete account (not pause) for a permanent exit.
- Confirm — you may be asked to acknowledge that deletion is permanent.
After you confirm, your account is removed and the action cannot be undone. If you only want a break, choose the pause/hide option in the same settings area instead.
What gets removed — and what may remain
Deletion removes your profile and account data from Feeld, but as with any online service, it cannot make every trace vanish. It helps to be realistic.
Your profile, matches, and messages are removed from the app. However, anything other people screenshotted or saved — your photos, your messages in their chats — exists independently and is unaffected by your deletion. Cached copies and backups can also persist for a period under normal data-retention practices. This is why the golden rule of any dating app holds: assume that whatever you shared could outlive your account.
Leaving Feeld for something else?
If you are deleting Feeld to switch apps rather than to leave dating entirely, it is worth knowing your options before you go. Different platforms suit different goals — more users locally, a different community, or a stronger kink focus.

Feeld account deletion FAQ
Common questions about leaving Feeld.
Can I recover a deleted Feeld account? No. Deletion is permanent. If you might return, use the pause option instead — that is reversible, and Feeld keeps your data for up to 12 months before auto-deleting an unreactivated paused account.
Does deleting Feeld cancel my Majestic subscription? No. You must cancel Majestic separately through the Apple App Store or Google Play, ideally before deleting your account, or you may keep being billed.
What is the difference between disabling and deleting Feeld? Disabling hides your profile but keeps your data so you can return. Deleting permanently removes your account and data.
Will deleting Feeld remove my photos from people I matched with? No. Anything others saved or screenshotted exists independently and is not affected by deleting your account.
How long does deletion take? Your account is removed when you confirm, though cached copies and backups can persist for a period under normal retention practices.
Wrapping up
Deleting Feeld is straightforward, but order matters: cancel any Majestic subscription through the app store first, decide whether you want a reversible pause or a permanent delete, then confirm. Remember that deletion removes your profile from Feeld but cannot reach screenshots or copies other people already have, so the usual rule of any dating app applies — assume what you shared could outlive your account. Take the extra minute to leave cleanly, and your privacy and your wallet will both thank you.
