⏸️ 1. Deactivate (Take a Break)

Use this option if you want a timeout but plan to come back later:

  1. Go to Profile β†’ Settings

  2. Tap Account

  3. Select Deactivate Account

  4. Confirm your choice

What happens:

  • Your profile, moments, comments, and history will be hidden from others

  • Metadata (e.g., username, profile info) will be preserved

  • You can reactivate immediately by logging back in

This is a good option if you're stepping away without losing your footprint.


❗ 2. Delete Account Permanently

Ready to say goodbye? Follow the steps to erase your presence:

  1. Go to Profile β†’ Settings

  2. Tap Account β†’ Delete Account

  3. Review the ⚠️warning message (deletions are final)

  4. Confirm by entering your password or verification code (email/SMS)

What happens:

  • Your account, moments, comments, and data are irrevocably deleted

  • Your username becomes available for others
