If you’d like to take a break from online dating, you can hide your profile by pausing your account. Pausing lets you temporarily hide your profile from Zoosk and still keep your profile, connections, and message history for when you come back. Learn how to pause your account.
If you are a subscriber and would like to deactivate your account, you need to cancel your subscription first. If you are not a subscriber and would like to deactivate your Zoosk account, please follow the directions below.
From a browser on your desktop computer:
- Log in to zoosk.com.
- Click on "Settings" in the menu on the left side.
- Click on "Account" and then select "Account Status".
- Click on "Deactivate Account".
- Select "Deactivate" on the bottom of the page.
- Choose a reason for deactivation and confirm your choice by selecting "Continue Deactivation".
- Confirm your choice to deactivate your account by clicking "Deactivate Account".
From the Android app:
- Open the Zoosk app on your Android phone.
- Tap the menu (3 lines) at the top left corner.
- Tap the gear icon on the top to go to your "Settings".
- Tap "Account".
- Tap "Account Status".
- Tap "Deactivate".
- Choose a reason for deactivation.
- Confirm your choice to deactivate your account by selecting "Continue".
If you deactivate your account, your profile will not be visible to other members, and you will lose your subscription benefits, if any, without a refund according to our Terms of Use Agreement and your list of connections. If you want to return to Zoosk in the future, you can reactivate your account by logging in to your account using your email address and password. (Also note, that you will not be entitled to any subscription or other benefits you had before deactivation.)
Removing your account permanently
If you don't want to use your Zoosk account any longer, you can have it permanently deleted by our Customer Success Team. Please keep in mind that this process is irreversible and the deleted data can't be restored later due to technical restrictions. If you have an active subscription, you'll have to cancel it first.
To contact our support and request the permanent deletion of your account, please send an email to support@zoosk.com and our support will usually get back to you within 24 hours and confirm that the deletion has been processed and your account has successfully been removed from Zoosk.
