How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account
There are all kinds of reasons you might want to delete an online dating profile. Maybe the experience has been a success, and you've found a special someone. Or maybe you're making a statement to a new partner, cutting yourself off from the online dating world. Or it could be that you're seriously fatigued with the whole thing — the swiping, the constant "hey" messages, and the minefield of making moves. Or perhaps you've just decided to stay single.
Whatever the reason, it's your call. Thankfully, AdultFriendFinder is one of the hookup platforms to make it super easy to delete your account and permanently scrub profile data.
It's worth noting that deleting your account and canceling your Gold membership are two entirely different things. If you want to continue using AdultFriendFinder for free or stop your monthly payments, you can cancel your subscription and keep your account. Actual account deletion is a more permanent action: You’ll lose all your profile info, chat history, and settings. So, be sure before you go ahead — consider whether you 100 percent want to wipe all that information. Particularly if you're a longtime user with a lot of history on the site.

How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account on your phone
AFF doesn’t have an official app on either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store due to its NSFW content. But many AFF users still rely on phone-based workarounds for AdultFriendFinder, often via a web shortcut on their home screens.
Simply deleting your AFF app icon will not delete your account or the data and history associated with it. You need to go into the account itself and actively hit delete. To do this via your phone, just follow these easy steps:
- 2 minutes
- Smartphone
Step 1: Log in to your account as usual, using your username and password credentials
Step 2: Navigate to the "My Account" section in the top right and select "Settings"
Step 3: Under the "Manage My Account" heading, select "Close Account"
Step 4: You’ll be prompted with a confirmation message offering alternatives to account deletion, including hiding your profile or turning off email notifications
Step 5: Select "Please Delete My Account"
Step 6: You’ll be prompted to enter your password one last time, to confirm your identity and intention
Account deletion is final and irrevocable. So be sure that you're sure. You'll lose all your contacts, chat history, and profile information before you click to confirm deletion. You can always open a new account, of course, if you want to return to the platform. But you'll have to start over with a brand new profile.
If, for any reason, the above steps haven’t worked for you, you can always visit the AFF Help Center, where you'll find FAQs and visual guides for on-site activities, including account deletion.
