How to Delete Your Coffee Meets Bagel Account

Open Coffee Meets Bagel, go to Settings (through the three dots on Android), scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account. Confirm with Delete my account and choose a reason. Deleting is permanent. Your Beans, photos, personal information and chat history are gone. It also does not cancel a subscription, which you manage in the App Store or Google Play.

1. Open the app and tap your profile icon.
2. Open Settings. On Android, you reach it through the three dots.
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.
4. Confirm with Delete my account.
5. Choose a reason.

Deletion cannot be undone. Coffee Meets Bagel removes your Beans, your photos, your personal information and your chat history.

Two of those deserve a moment before you tap. Any Beans you have not spent disappear with the account, so if a closed chat is worth reopening, do it first. And your chat history goes too. If a conversation holds a woman's number or the details of a plan, copy them somewhere else before you delete.

The photos go as well. That only matters if the app was the one place you kept a good shot of yourself. Save the originals to your phone first, because a clear photo of your face is worth keeping for whatever you do next.

Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription. You manage that in the App Store or Google Play, and it keeps renewing until you cancel it there.

So cancel first, then delete. Do it the other way round and you can keep paying for an account that no longer exists.

If you are talking to anyone worth seeing, move her off the app before you go. a dating coach gives the women closest to a date the first claim on his time every day, and this is the moment to do the same. Get her number, confirm the plan, and mention that you are leaving the app. That way your account vanishing does not look like a brush-off.

One message covers it. "I'm coming off this app, but I'd still like that drink on Thursday. Text me here so we don't lose each other," followed by your number. It is short, it keeps the plan intact, and it moves the conversation somewhere that will not disappear with your account.

For women you were only lightly chatting with, you do not owe anyone an announcement. Deleting quietly is fine.

If what you want is a break rather than an exit, pause instead. Pausing keeps the account, so nothing on it is wiped, and you can come back when you are ready.

Coffee Meets Bagel itself recommends pausing to anyone who is thinking of deleting now and signing up again later. It warns that an account can be banned if its team flags repeated deleting and recreating as suspicious. It also says people who recognize your old account may assume something is wrong. If there is any chance you will be back, a pause protects you from both.

Men delete for one of two reasons. Either they met someone and want to close the door properly, or the app stopped working for them.

If it is the first, delete with a clear conscience once your chats are settled. If it is the second, be honest about what stopped working before you move on. a dating coach's experience is that most men who struggle online make the same handful of fixable errors, and then give up on online dating altogether.

A different app will show women the same first photo and the same opening lines. If those were the problem, they come with you. Fix them first, and then judge whichever app you use next on what it does with a page that works.

Run through these in order and the deletion costs you nothing you wanted to keep.

1. Cancel any subscription in the App Store or Google Play.
2. Spend any Beans you actually want to use, or accept losing them.
3. Copy any numbers and plan details out of your chats.
4. Tell anyone you have a plan with that you are leaving the app.
5. Save any photos you want to keep.
6. Ask yourself once more whether a pause would do the job.

If all six are settled, delete the account and move on.
