How to Delete Your Badoo Account

Cancel any Premium or Extra subscription first, because it may not stop on its own. Then open your own page in the app, tap the Settings gear, tap Account and choose Delete account at the bottom. On the web, the option only appears once your email address is confirmed. Deleting the app from your phone, or simply going inactive, does not delete your account.

This comes first for a reason. Badoo warns that a Premium or Extra subscription may not cancel automatically when you delete, and you do not want to discover that on next month's statement.

Cancel it where you bought it. If you paid through your phone's app store, look for it in that store's subscription settings rather than inside Badoo. Check that it shows as cancelled before you go any further.

If you are not sure which store you paid through, check each one you use. A subscription only shows up under the account that was charged, so looking in the wrong place tells you nothing.

1. Go to Profile.
2. Tap the Settings gear.
3. Tap Account.
4. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.

In a browser, you will only see the delete option once your email address is confirmed. If you cannot find it, that is the likely reason. Confirm your email first, then go back and look again. If you signed up with an address you no longer check, sort that out before anything else, because the confirmation has to reach you.

This catches a lot of men out. Removing Badoo from your phone deletes the app, not your account. Going quiet for months does not delete it either. Your profile stays on Badoo until you delete the account itself with the steps above.

So if you want to be gone, do it properly. If you only want some peace for a while, that is a different tool, covered below.

Badoo gives you a way back. A deleted account can still be restored through support for up to 28 days.

Treat that window as a safety net, not a plan. If you are only half sure, the better choice is Hide account, which takes you out of sight with one toggle and brings you back with another. It sits in the same Account settings.

Delete when you are sure. Things with someone new are going well and you want to give that a real chance. Badoo has turned out to be the wrong app for your city or for what you want. Or you would just rather your data was gone. a dating coach once broke down the record of a man who had worked the apps steadily for a long stretch, found someone he wanted to get serious with, and deleted the app. That is about the best reason there is.

Once you delete, treat every conversation in the account as gone. If one woman matters, ask for her number first, not after.

This is easy to do well. Keep it light and tie it to a plan: you are thinking of that bar she mentioned, so what is her number and you can sort out a time. coach usually gets a woman from the app to her number within four to seven messages. Asking for it alongside a plan is what makes it feel natural rather than like an exit interview.

Plenty of men delete an app on a bad night. The week was slow, a promising chat faded, and deleting feels like doing something.

If that is you, stop for a moment before you tap Delete account. Ask what would actually change on the next app. If the trouble is the photos, the first lines, or waiting too long to suggest a plan, all of it comes with you. coach says paid features only multiply the results you already get, and anything multiplied by zero is still zero. A new app works the same way.

Fix the basics first. Take new photos in daylight, put the clearest one of your face at the front, and write a few lines about yourself that sound like you talking. Build the habit of suggesting a plan early instead of letting chats drift for a week.

Then change one thing at a time and keep what works. That is how the next app goes better than this one did.
