eHarmony is a popular dating app that finds you matches using an algorithm. In this regard it differs from other dating apps – like Match.com, for example – that allow you to proactively search for matches.
eHarmony is not for everybody, though! If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably spent some time on the app and found it lacking. Or maybe you’ve just found a partner and are reading to leave dating apps behind. In any case, this no-nonsense guide will tell you everything you need to know about how to delete your eHarmony account and profile.
There are lots of reasons to delete your eHarmony account. Let’s take a look at some common ones.
Privacy concerns are a commonly cited concern when it comes to dating apps. While eHarmony takes precautions to protect users’ privacy and data security, some users have raised questions about the extent to which they are protected. The surest way to avoid such concerns is to delete the app.
As mentioned above, eHarmony uses a matching algorithm for its users, which works by having users take a compatibility test. Some feel that the algorithmic approach is too rigid though, overly fixating on predefined criteria that don’t accurately gauge the more intangible qualities that lead to compatibility. If your experience with this algorithm has been lacking, though, you might want to use an app that allows you to match by proactively searching (or swiping).
While eHarmony technically tries to offer a personalized experience – using an algorithm informed by your personal answers to compatibility questions – it can sometimes feel rather impersonal. It is using an algorithm, after all. If you want something more personalized, there are other matchmaking services available, which rely on good old-fashioned human judgment.
Deleting eHarmony is a very simple process, and you can do so using a desktop computer or your mobile device. Just follow the simple steps outlined below!
Maybe fully deleting your eHarmony account feels like an extreme move. Fortunately, there are alternatives: making your profile invisible and adjusting your privacy settings.
If you want to take a break from getting matches, you can set your profile to invisible. You’ll still get recommended matches from the app, but no other uses will be able to see you. Here’s how to do it:
Once you’ve taken these steps, the banner on the app’s home page will indicate that your profile is not currently visible.
Here’s the thing. When it comes to whether or not you should delete your eHarmony account, only you know what’s best for you. If you don’t want to delete yet, you can make your profile invisible by outlining the steps above. But if you have decided to delete – and there are plenty of valid reasons for doing so – just follow the simple steps, whether you’re on desktop or mobile.
