Delete account

Last updated: November 2, 2026

How to delete your Void Chat account, and what happens to your data. One account works in the Android app and on the web at app.avoid.chat.

In the app

  1. Android: Home → ? (Help) → Privacy & Analytics → Delete account
  2. Web: your profile photo → Help → Privacy & Analytics → Delete account

Confirm, and it’s gone right away. You’ll be signed out.

By email

Can’t get into the app? Email kat@avoid.chat from your account’s email address (your Google address if you signed in with Google) with the subject “Delete my account”. It’ll be done within 30 days, usually much sooner, and I’ll reply when it is.

What gets deleted

  • Your sign-in and profile: email, name, profile photo and display name
  • Your chat list, Alerts and notification settings
  • Notifications for your devices
  • Void’s chats on the phone or browser you delete from

What’s kept, and for how long

  • Messages you already sent, including DMs, stay in their chats until each chat expires (at most about a year), then they’re deleted with it. So do blocks you made.
  • Void on your other devices stays until you sign out there or clear the browser’s site data.
  • Screenshots or copies other people made. Those are out of our hands.
  • Reports you made or that were made about you, including a copy of the reported messages, for 90 days after each report (copies of the report email may be kept longer). They aren’t linked to your account.
  • Analytics and crash reports (PostHog and Sentry) aren’t linked to your account and expire on those services’ own schedules.
  • Server logs at our host, Railway, for a short time, and anything the law says we have to keep.

Just want to delete some data?

  • Leave a chat to take it off your chat list.
  • Turn off notifications in Chat Settings or your phone’s settings.
  • Clear Void from a device by signing out of the app, or clearing site data for app.avoid.chat in your browser.
  • Anything else (like a waitlist email, or a chat you joined without an account): email kat@avoid.chat.
