Important
Account deletion is permanent after a 30-day grace period. Once you confirm, your profile, posts, comments, events, messages, friend connections, and notification preferences are scheduled for removal.
How to delete
1
Open Danger zone
Go to Settings → Danger zone.
2
Tap Delete account
You'll see a warning listing exactly what gets removed.
3
Type your username to confirm
Then tap Delete account. The deletion enters a 30-day grace period.
What gets removed vs what stays
| Removed | Stays (anonymised) |
|---|---|
| Your profile (name, avatar, bio) | Events you hosted become "cancelled by [former user]" - guests aren't confused by missing events |
| Your posts, comments, reactions, stories | Messages you sent in group chats stay so the conversation is readable - sender shown as "[deleted user]" |
| Direct messages | Anything we're legally required to retain (rare) |
| Follow + friend connections | |
| Sessions and devices | |
| Your RSVPs (removed from hosts' guest lists) |
30-day grace period
For the first 30 days, signing in with the same email restores your account exactly as it was. After 30 days, the deletion is irreversible.
If you just want a break
Tip
You can sign out without deleting. PopIn doesn't show "last seen" to others when you've explicitly signed out, and you can come back whenever.
