Does MeetMe Delete Inactive Accounts?

It can. MeetMe's terms say it may delete your account if you are inactive for more than two years. The terms say that to prevent this you have to log in at least once every two years. So an account you abandon may stay, and it may go, and the terms leave that choice to MeetMe.

The wording matters. MeetMe says it "may" delete an inactive account, which means it reserves the right and does not promise to do it on a schedule. The cutoff it names is inactivity of more than two years.

The way to prevent it is plain: log in at least once every two years. One sign-in resets what the terms describe, so a man who wants to keep an old account alive does not have to use it, only open it.

A lot of men uninstall the app and think they have left. They have not.

MeetMe's help center says temporary deactivation is not supported. If you only remove the app, your account waits for you the next time you download it or sign in on the web. Deleting the phone app changes nothing on MeetMe's side.

That is the part to take seriously. An account you stopped using is still an account, and until it is deleted, the page you made is still there. MeetMe's help center says the account waits for you. It does not say the page goes quiet while you are away, so do not assume it does.

If you want the account gone, delete it. MeetMe's help center says to remove an account permanently you delete it from settings, under My Account.

Do this on purpose, not by waiting for two years to pass. Waiting leaves a page of yours sitting there for as long as you do nothing, with your photos and your words on it, and it may only be removed if MeetMe chooses to act.

Before you delete, take what you want. Save any photos you only have on that account, and note the names of anyone you want to stay in touch with, since deletion is permanent.

There is a better use of the same fact. If you left months ago and you are thinking of returning, your account probably still exists, and you can sign in on the web or download the app and find it waiting.

Do not just carry on. Open your page and read it as a stranger would. If the photos are old, replace them. If the words describe a man you no longer are, rewrite them. A woman who opens an old page sees the man in the photos, and if he no longer looks like you, the first date starts with a surprise.

Treat a return as a fresh start with a small test. Spend a week with the updated page, and count how many women you contact, how many reply, and how many agree to meet.

My rule for every site and every feature is to test it and drop it if nothing moves. MeetMe is also a social app more than a pure dating one, so you may find the replies come from conversation more than from a quick Like. Give it the same effort you would give any other app, and judge it by plans, not by how many people viewed you.

That depends on who you want to meet. MeetMe describes itself as a place that uses social discovery applications to connect you with members near you. It says it does not verify identity. So check each woman yourself, and never send money or gifts.

If it gives you conversations, keep it and log in regularly. If it does not, delete the account properly and put your time into the app that does. An account you keep out of laziness is worse than one you either use or remove.

Yes, MeetMe may delete an account after more than two years of inactivity, and one login every two years prevents it. Uninstalling does nothing. If you are done, delete from settings under My Account. If you are returning, update the page before you start.
