Account, Privacy & Deletion

Everything about your account lives in Settings: your details and connected sign-ins, your privacy controls, and full account deletion. Account deletion is available no matter how you signed in — including Sign in with Apple.

Account details#

Open Settings → Account to see your email, phone, and last sign-in, and to change your password or sign out (this device, or all devices).

Settings → Account screen showing connected sign-ins (Google, Apple), change password, and sign-out
The Account screen — connected sign-ins (Apple, Google, X), change password, and sign-out options.

The Account screen shows which providers are linked — Apple, Google, and X — and their connection status. Whichever you used to join, you have a complete account with every feature available, including account deletion below.

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time, in two taps from Settings — regardless of how you signed in, including Sign in with Apple.

For App Store reviewers (Guideline 5.1.1(v))

Account deletion is reachable for every sign-in method, including Sign in with Apple — the “Delete Account” row appears on Settings → Account for all users with no provider-disconnect step required. The recording above demonstrates signing in with Apple and completing the deletion flow from initiation to confirmation on a physical device.

If you prefer a formal, GDPR-style request, use Settings → Privacy → Data Deletion (or our data-deletion page). It lays out your options — delete instantly in the app (above) or email privacy@playmate.app — and the policy: your account is deactivated immediately and all data is permanently deleted within 30 days (a small amount of anonymized analytics may be retained). What's removed: profile info, games & activity, groups, messages, posts & photos, connections, and preferences.

In Settings → Privacy & Security you control how you appear and who can reach you:

  • Location sharing — Exact, Approximate, or Hidden (see Location sharing).
  • Online status & last active — show or hide these from others.
  • Messaging permissions — control who can message you.
  • Blocked users — review and unblock (see Manage blocked users).
