How to delete your account
Naven deletes rather than deactivates. Your account and the data attached to it go, and the page says which traces remain rather than implying everything vanishes.
Step by step
-
Open Settings
From the sidebar.
-
Find account deletion
It explains what will happen before you confirm.
-
Confirm
Deletion starts and nothing further is needed from you.
-
You are signed out
The account stops working immediately.
Worth knowing
- Messages you sent into other people's conversations stay, because they are in somebody else's record. No service can reach into that, and any that claims to is describing something it cannot do.
- This is a deletion rather than a deactivation. The account is not being kept in case you come back.
- If you only want a break, signing out or muting is reversible in a way this is not.
Questions
Is deleting the same as deactivating?
No. Naven deletes. Many services deactivate and call it deletion, which keeps everything and merely hides it.
Do my messages disappear from other people's conversations?
No. A message you sent is a copy in a conversation belonging to two people.
Can I undo it?
No.
