Can I disable my account temporarily?

Asked 4 months ago
HowAboutWe does not have a specific feature that allows users to temporarily disable their accounts. However, users who wish to take a break from the platform often consider simply not logging in or opting to hide their profiles. This can effectively limit interactions and provide a space away from the dating environment without fully deleting the account. It is important to note that if a user decides to delete their account, it is usually permanent and results in the loss of all saved information and matches. If a user is unsure of their options, they may want to look for any specific instructions or information on the HowAboutWe website regarding account settings. The website may also provide guidance on managing accounts and privacy preferences effectively. Overall, users have the flexibility to choose how they engage with the platform while ensuring their preferences are respected.
