You can delete your Weird account yourself, at any time, from inside the app. Deleting it removes the account and the data attached to it — your posts, photos, profile and follow relationships. This cannot be undone.
If you use Weird as a guest (without signing in), there is no account to delete, so the Delete account item is not shown.
If the deletion fails — because of a connection problem, for example — the app tells you so. Stay signed in and try again. If it still does not work, use the email request described below.
Weird+ subscriptions are managed by Apple's App Store. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription, and you will keep being charged. Subscriptions cannot be canceled from inside the app. Before deleting your account, cancel it in one of these places:
After you cancel, the subscription runs until the end of the period you have already paid for. Deleting your account partway through that period does not refund what you have paid. Refunds are decided by Apple. The subscription terms are in the Terms of Service.
| Item | What happens |
|---|---|
| Your posts (title, what happened, your thoughts on the cause, location, date and time of the experience, tag, weather) | Deleted, including posts you made anonymously |
| Your drafts | Deleted |
| Photo files attached to your posts, your profile picture and your profile background | Deleted from storage as well |
| Records of other people opening your posts | Deleted along with your posts |
| Records of posts you opened (used for view counts) | Deleted |
| Your follows and followers | Deleted in both directions |
| Block records (people you blocked, and people who blocked you) | Deleted |
| Reports you sent | Deleted |
| Your profile (display name, user ID, bio, web link, images) | Deleted |
| The account itself (your Google / Apple sign-in details and email address) | Deleted |
| The token we hold for Sign in with Apple | Deleted here and revoked with Apple (see below) |
Your posts, profile and account are removed on the spot. The image files are removed in a follow-up step right afterwards. If a connection failure leaves any file behind, tell us at the address below and we will check and delete it.
When you delete your account, we revoke the token Apple issued for the connection and delete the copy we hold. You do not need to do anything in your Apple settings yourself.
How soon Weird disappears from the list of apps using your Apple ID is up to Apple. If it is still listed, go to Settings → your name at the top → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple, select Weird, and stop using Apple ID with it.
Deleted data cannot be restored. If you sign in again with the same Google or Apple account, you start over with a brand-new account; your earlier posts, follows and profile do not come back. Save anything you want to keep to your own device before you delete.
Removing (uninstalling) the Weird app from your device leaves your account and the data on our servers untouched. To remove the account itself, use the steps above.
If something prevents you from deleting your account in the app, write to lukiitaengineer@gmail.com. So that we can confirm the account is yours, please write from the email address you use to sign in and include the user ID shown on your profile (the ID beginning with @). We will verify the request and delete the account within a reasonable time.
Depending on what you need, there may be a better fit than deleting everything.
