Menu names can change after app updates. If you can’t find an option, check SeniorMatch’s help centre.
Deactivate or delete?
SeniorMatch lets you choose between two options in Settings:
- Deactivate — your profile is hidden, but your account and history remain, so you can come back.
- Delete permanently — your profile and data are removed.
Step 1: cancel any subscription
Turn off renewal in your account if you paid on the website. If you subscribed in the App Store or Google Play, cancel there — deleting your profile does not stop store billing.
Step 2: deactivate or delete
- Sign in and open Settings.
- Choose Deactivate or Delete permanently.
- Confirm.
Which should you choose?
If you have met someone and it is early days, deactivating is kinder to your future self: nothing is lost if you return. If you are sure you will not come back, deleting removes your information.
Before you go
- Save contact details for anyone you want to keep in touch with.
- If anyone asked you for money, report them before leaving — it protects other members.
- SeniorMatch offers 24/7 phone and email support if you cannot find the options.
One practical point: if you deactivate rather than delete, set a reminder to check back in a few months. It is easy to forget a hidden profile, and deciding then — return or delete — keeps your information tidy.
If you shared photos or details in messages, remember those stay with the people you sent them to; deleting your account removes your profile, not copies other members may have saved.
