Are you someone who is looking for ways to delete your Hinge account and cancel your subscription? If yes, you have landed at the right place.
As Hinge makers describe it, Hinge should be installed in the first place to eventually be deleted. However, don’t think that simply removing the app from your phone would delete your Hinge account.

Please note that deleting Hinge would delete all your activity and data such as photos or chats associated with the platform. Moreover, canceling Hinge’s paid subscriptions would mean you would not be able to access its premium features anymore.
