How to delete your Whip account

How to delete your Whip account step by step: the 28-day grace period, exactly what’s erased, what stays behind, and how to cancel if you change your mind.

To delete your Whip account, go to Settings → Delete Account, review the preview of what you’ll lose, and confirm. This starts a 28-day grace period during which your account is locked but recoverable. Cancel anytime in those 28 days to restore everything. After 28 days, deletion is permanent. Uninstalling the app does not delete your account.

Delete your account, step by step

1. Open the delete screen

   Go to your Profile tab, tap Settings, then Delete Account under Account Actions.

2. Preview what goes

   Whip shows you exactly what deletion will affect, with counts of your apps, likes, comments, and followers, so there are no surprises.

3. Confirm

   Tap Delete Account and confirm. Whip schedules the deletion and signs you out of your other sessions.

4. The 28-day grace period starts

   Your account enters a locked-down state. You have 28 days to change your mind before anything becomes permanent.

During the 28-day grace period

Once deletion is scheduled, your account is locked down. You can still open Whip to check your deletion status, cancel the deletion, or sign out — but the rest of the app is paused while the clock runs.

Change your mind? Cancel anytime within those 28 days from the deletion status screen, and everything comes right back — your apps, chats, follows, all of it. After cancelling, there’s a 7-day wait before you can request deletion again.

When the 28 days are up, deletion runs and becomes permanent. There’s no undo after that.

What gets deleted

When deletion completes, Whip erases everything private to you:

• Every private app and draft
• All of your chat history
• Your likes, saves, comments, and follows
• Your blocks and notifications
• Your personal information

What stays behind

Apps you published don’t disappear. They stay playable in the community, credited to “[deleted]” instead of your name.

Think of publishing like releasing a song: once it’s out in the world, the community keeps what you shared. Your published apps live on, just no longer tied to your name.

Want your published apps gone too? Delete each of those apps before you request account deletion.

This order matters. Once account deletion completes, published apps are anonymized, not removed. If you want them gone entirely, delete those apps first.

Emails along the way

Whip keeps you posted by email at three moments: when you request deletion, if you cancel, and when deletion completes. These arrive even if you’ve turned off other emails.

Does uninstalling the app delete my account?

No. Deleting the Whip app from your phone only removes the app — your account, apps, and data stay put. To actually delete your account, use Settings → Delete Account.

Can I get my account back after 28 days?

No. Cancellation only works during the 28-day grace period. Once that window closes and deletion runs, it’s permanent.

Why is there a wait to delete again after cancelling?

After you cancel a deletion, you must wait 7 days before you can request deletion again. It’s a small cool-off so the choice is a deliberate one.
