How To Delete Tinder From Your Smartphone
1. Locate the Tinder app on your smartphone. The app is easy to spot because of its flame icon. Tap on it and wait for it to load.
2. Once open, log in with your Facebook account. The Facebook account that is associated with your Tinder account is the one that you used when you first set up the app. Tinder creates matches for you based on the friends that you have on the network.
3. Once you’re in the app’s home screen, notice the little gear icon on the upper left corner. This is the Settings menu where you can tinker with the app’s configurations.
4. Tapping the gear icon brings up the App settings menu. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu to see the Delete Tinder Account button. Tap on this to get started with the account deletion process.
5. Should you tap on the Delete Account button, a confirmation message will appear that will remind you that deleting your account will also delete all of the content that is associated with it (e.g. your pictures, matches, etcetera).
6. Tap on the button again to confirm the deletion. You will be prompted that your Tinder account has been successfully deleted.
Deleting Tinder From Facebook
Tinder is connected to your Facebook account. Even though you’ve already deleted the app, your Tinder account profile might still show up on Facebook Graph searches due to its connection with your profile. Here’s how to remove that connection.

2. On the top right corner of Facebook’s home screen, there’s a group of small icons that you could click on. Click on the small gear icon that is located on the far right side of the page.
3. Choose Privacy Settings. Upon clicking this, you’ll be brought to the Privacy Settings and Tools page.
4. Locate the Apps tab on the left side of the screen. Click on this to see all of the apps that you have associated with your Facebook account.

6. Another confirmation box will appear. Just click on it again to fully Delete Tinder from your Facebook account.
