How to Delete Your Bumble Account

It's often not necessary to remain perpetually active on dating apps. On Bumble, you can easily disable your account temporarily or permanently delete the app if you're confident you're done using it. Here's how to deactivate Bumble, one way or another.

Temporarily Disabling vs. Permanently Deleting Your Bumble Account

Bumble's temporary disabling feature is called snooze mode, which essentially allows you to take your account offline without losing any of your profile information or connections. Your profile is hidden, you don't appear in any swipe matches and your current matches and notifications are notified that you're taking a break so they know you're not just ignoring them.

Permanently deleting your Bumble account involves the removal of all your data—including profile information, photos, connections, and everything else. If you decide to permanently delete your account and then change your mind, you' have to start over from scratch by creating a brand new account.

How to Temporarily Disable Your Bumble Account

Here's how to take advantage of Bumble's Snooze feature to take a break without losing anything already on your account.

1. Open the Bumble app and tap the Profile icon.

2. Tap the gear icon to access your settings.

3. Tap Snooze mode.

4. Choose the length of time to snooze your account by tapping one of these options:

   • 24 hours
   • 72 hours
   • A week
   • Indefinitely

5. If you select a short-term period for snooze mode, choose a reason to notify your current connections why you're taking a break. You can choose from:

   • I'm traveling
   • I'm focused on work
   • I'm on a digital detox
   • I'm prioritizing myself

   Select No thanks if none of the above reasons fit or you don't want your connections to receive a notice.

6. You have the option to go back online any time you want. Just tap Deactivate snooze mode.

Bumble's Date Mode

If you want to stay active on Bumble, but aren't looking to date anyone at the moment, you can remove Date mode so you can continue to use Bizz and BFF.

From the Bizz or BFF tab, tap the logo at the top and swipe through the modes until you see Bumbledate. Tap the X in the top left corner to remove it.

How to Permanently Delete Your Bumble Account

If you found someone you're ready to commit to, didn't like your experience with Bumble, or have any other reason for wanting to leave the platform, you can delete your account so all your data is permanently removed.

1. Open the Bumble app and tap the Profile icon.

2. Tap the gear icon to open Bumble's settings

3. Tap Delete account at the bottom of the settings tab.

4. Choose a reason why you're deleting your Bumble account by tapping one of these options:

   • Found/In a Relationship
   • Billing Issue
   • Dissatisfied with Service
   • Other

5. Tap Delete account to confirm.
