You may want to delete your Plenty of Fish (POF) account for a variety of reasons. We comprehend why you might want to close your account, whether you’ve finally found the ideal match, want to take a break from the dating scene, or have chosen to use one of the other dating websites or apps available.
In contrast to Tinder, PlentyofFish (also known as Plenty of Fish) emphasizes compatibility rather than a straightforward swipe left to swipe right method of finding a date. Before you can proceed, you’ll need to answer a few pages worth of questions about yourself, including your interests, goals, and curiously even your family.
Like most platforms, you can either permanently delete your entire profile or just make it invisible. People won’t be able to find you on the website if you hide it. If you’re on the fence about ending your time on the website, this option might be the ideal choice. The best course of action, though, is to delete your POF account if you are certain that you are finished. You can always make a new one later, after all.
In addition to providing instructions on how to delete your POF account, this article also offers some additional advice, such as the suggestion to hide your account rather than delete it and to edit your profile.

How to Hide Your Plenty of Fish Profile on Android or iPhone/iOS
Hiding your POF profile on a mobile device is just as easy as it is using a PC. The reason is that you use a browser.
- Open your selected mobile browser, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, or the default browser.
- Go to POF.com, then log into your account.
- Tap on My Profile at the top.
- Choose Edit Profile from the drop-down list.
- Look for the Profile Visibility section and choose Hide Profile.
Your POF profile will no longer be visible to other users or turn up in searches. Repeat the process and select Show Profile instead of Hide Profile to reveal your profile later.
Edit Your POF Profile Instead of Deleting It
Consider updating your profile before deleting your POF account if you simply aren’t meeting anyone, aren’t getting any visits, or even have inaccurate information. A strong profile can attract more connections, which will lead to more dates.
Because Plenty of Fish focuses on compatibility, it’s a good idea to update your profile from time to time to stay current and appeal to a wider audience.
Of course, some things, like your age or your search criteria, you don’t want to change. You can, however, change your interests, hobbies, pictures, and other information. Additionally, Plenty of Fish gives you plenty of room to create an engaging and informative bio.
Editing Your Plenty of Fish Profile using a PC or Laptop
To update your POF profile on a PC or laptop, do this:
- Log in to Plenty of Fish and tap My Profile in the upper right-hand corner and then tap on Edit Profile.
- Scroll through the list of options updating as you please.
- Once complete, click Save Changes at the bottom.
As you can see, we didn’t give our Conversation Starters much thought, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t either. When writing your profile and other details, use creativity and sincerity. You’ll want to stand out on Plenty of Fish because there are thousands of users. Keep in mind to always be true to who you are, especially when completing questionnaires about your ideal partner and future. In any other case, you risk finding a match that won’t last.
