Delete Your Account
You can permanently delete your Talks account and associated data at any time. This page explains how, and exactly what is removed.
Option 1 — Delete from within the app
- Open Talks on your device.
- Go to Settings (or your profile).
- Tap Delete Account.
- Confirm. Your account and data are deleted immediately.
Option 2 — Request deletion by email
If you can't access the app, email us from the address (or with the phone number) linked to your account at [email protected] with the subject "Delete my account". We verify ownership and complete the deletion within 30 days.
What gets deleted
When your account is deleted, we permanently remove:
- Your account and profile (name, username, avatar, bio).
- Your phone number and any contact-matching data.
- Your messages, media, and chat history stored on our servers.
- Your contacts, groups membership, and app settings.
Because private chats are end-to-end encrypted and messages auto-delete, we do not retain message content beyond what is needed to deliver it.
What may be retained
We may retain a limited amount of data for a short period only where required by law, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce our Terms. Any such data is kept no longer than necessary (typically up to 90 days) and is then permanently deleted.
Subscriptions
Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a paid subscription. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
