If you've decided to delete your MyFitnessPal account, the process is straightforward, though it might differ slightly depending on whether you're using the website or the mobile app. Here's how you can do it for both platforms.
Deleting Your Account via the Website:
1. Log In: Start by visiting the MyFitnessPal website and logging into your account.
2. Account Settings: Click on your username in the top right corner to access the dropdown menu. Select "Settings" from this menu.
3. Close Account: In the settings menu, look for the option that says "Delete Account" or "Close my Account." Click on that option.
4. Confirm Deletion: You will typically be asked to confirm your decision to delete the account. Follow the prompts to complete the deletion process. Be aware that this action is usually irreversible, meaning you will lose all data and progress associated with your account.
Deleting Your Account via the Mobile App:
1. Open the App: Launch the MyFitnessPal app on your device and sign in if you aren't already logged in.
2. Access Settings: Tap on the "More" tab, often represented by three horizontal lines or dots at the bottom of the screen, to access the app's main menu.
3. Account Settings: Scroll down and tap on "Settings," then look for the "Delete Account" option.
4. Confirm: Just like on the website, you will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your account. Follow the instructions to complete this action.
Additional Notes:
Before you delete your account, consider exporting or taking note of any important data, such as your logs or progress, as deletion is permanent. - If you encounter any issues, you may want to check MyFitnessPal's help center or reach out to their customer support for further assistance. - If you're unsure about deleting your account completely, consider simply logging out or deactivating notifications, which will give you a break without losing your data.
By following these steps, you can successfully delete your MyFitnessPal account if that's what you've decided to do.
