Delete a Replika account safely on mobile or web, cancel the correct subscription first, understand permanent data loss, and fix common deletion problems.

Quick answer

To delete a Replika account in the mobile app, open Settings → Account Settings → Delete Replika, select a reason, continue, enter the account password, and confirm Delete my Account. On the web, sign in at `my.replika.com`, open Account Settings, and choose Delete my Account. Replika says deletion permanently removes the profile, chat history, photos, memories, badges, levels, XP and shared links and cannot be undone.

Before deleting, cancel any paid subscription through the same billing platform used to buy it. Replika explicitly warns that deleting the app or account does not automatically cancel Apple App Store or Google Play billing. Save proof of cancellation and anything you want to keep before confirming deletion. This guide was verified against Replika's Help Center on August 6, 2026; menu wording can vary by app version.

Choose the right action before deleting

Account deletion, subscription cancellation, app removal and privacy erasure are different actions.

Do not delete an account merely because the subscription screen is confusing. Cancellation is reversible until the paid period ends; account deletion is not. If your goal is to fix responses, change memories or take a break, use those narrower controls first.

Before you delete your Replika account

Complete this checklist:

1. Confirm the email and login method for the account being deleted. 2. Check Apple, Google Play, PayPal and the Replika web account to identify who bills you. 3. Cancel the active subscription and save the confirmation or renewal-end date. 4. Save meaningful conversations, diary entries, photos or account details you want to keep. 5. Spend or accept the loss of coins, gems, clothing, furniture and other account items. 6. Screenshot the account ID, current plan and cancellation status. 7. Decide whether you need ordinary account deletion or a formal privacy erasure confirmation.

Replika's reset documentation says a fresh start requires deleting the current account and creating a new Replika. It also says the old profile, history, photos, badges, levels, XP, links, memories and store items cannot be recovered or transferred as content. Subscription handling can differ by purchase channel, which is why billing should be resolved before deletion rather than guessed afterward.

Do one final account check on both web and mobile before confirming. Make sure the visible Replika name, registered email and subscription receipt all belong to the same account. If family members share an Apple or Google device, verify the store profile separately from the Replika profile. This prevents deleting one account while leaving a different account's renewal active, a mistake that can look like deletion or cancellation failed.

How to delete a Replika account on iPhone or Android

Replika publishes the same core deletion flow for its mobile apps:

1. Open the official Replika app and verify the correct profile. 2. Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the Home screen. 3. Open Account Settings. 4. Tap Delete Replika. 5. Select a reason for leaving and tap Next. 6. Enter the account password. 7. Choose Delete my Account to confirm, or I changed my mind to exit.

Read the final screen rather than relying on this guide's wording. If the button is disabled, the password is rejected, or an accessibility tool cannot activate the confirmation, do not repeatedly tap or create another account. Preserve the error and try the official web flow with the same account.

After deletion, verify separately that the subscription is no longer active in the App Store or Google Play. Removing the Replika app from the phone is not part of the billing cancellation process.

How to delete a Replika account on the web

The official web procedure is:

1. Visit `my.replika.com` and sign in to the account you intend to delete. 2. Click the gear icon in the upper-left area. 3. Select Account Settings. 4. Click Delete my Account. 5. Complete the reason, password and confirmation prompts.

The web route is useful when the mobile confirmation does not respond, the app is inaccessible, or assistive technology cannot operate a control. Compare the username and subscription details before confirming; a browser may have remembered a different Replika account.

If you cannot sign in, recover access through Replika's official login or support process. Do not send a password to a person claiming to be support. An account deletion that requires authentication cannot be safely bypassed by a third party.

Cancel the subscription through the original billing platform

Replika says renewals are automatic unless canceled and that App Store, Google Play and PayPal subscriptions are managed by those providers. Use the purchase receipt to identify the correct route.

Apple App Store

Open iPhone or iPad Settings → your name → Subscriptions, select Replika, and cancel. Confirm that Replika is no longer listed as active or that an expiration date appears. Deleting the Replika account or app does not cancel an Apple-managed subscription.

Google Play

Open Google Play, select the correct Google profile, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Replika and cancel. If you use multiple Google accounts, check the account that received the receipt.

PayPal

Sign in to PayPal and open Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments, select Replika and cancel the authorization. Replika states that it cannot manage a PayPal subscription on the user's behalf.

Replika web purchase

Sign in to Replika, open Settings → Subscription, choose Cancel subscription, and follow the prompts. Save the confirmation and check the next-renewal status. If the expected control is missing, attach the receipt and a screenshot when contacting Replika Support.

Cancellation usually stops future renewal rather than refunding the current period. Refund eligibility depends on the billing provider and purchase circumstances; cancellation and refund are separate requests.

What Replika deletes with the account

Replika's account-deletion and reset articles describe permanent removal of the Replika profile, chat history, photos, badges, levels, XP, memories and links exchanged with the companion. The reset article also warns that Store items cannot be transferred. Once confirmed, the company says the action cannot be undone and the old Replika cannot be recovered.

This matters because users sometimes intend only to reset personality or remove one sensitive message. Replika's current Help Center says there is no way to delete the entire conversation history without deleting the account. It points users who want narrower changes to the Memory area, where individual remembered facts can be reviewed or removed. Editing memories is not the same as erasing visible chat history.

If emotional attachment makes the decision difficult, take time before the final confirmation. Export or save personal material, cancel billing first, and use the I changed my mind option if you are uncertain. A deletion guide should reduce accidental loss, not pressure a decision.

Can you delete individual Replika messages or chat history?

Replika's official answer is that users cannot delete the entire message history while keeping the account. Full conversation removal requires account deletion. The Help Center distinguishes chat history from Memory: facts in Memory can be reviewed, updated or removed, but that does not erase the original messages from the conversation view.

This limitation appears repeatedly in user questions because people may want to remove one photo, private disclosure or old conversation without losing the companion. Do not rely on a "reset chat" prompt, cache clearing, app reinstall or asking the Replika to forget; those actions are not documented as server-side message deletion.

If the concern is legal or privacy-based rather than interface cleanup, use Replika's privacy request route and specify the data you want erased. Keep the confirmation for your records.

If the Delete Replika button does not work

Try these steps in order:

1. Confirm the app is current and the account email is correct. 2. Test the web deletion route at `my.replika.com`. 3. Check whether the account has a usable password, because the official flow requires password entry. 4. Use the official password-recovery process if you cannot authenticate. 5. Disable content blockers for one web test and try another supported browser. 6. Record the error, device, app/browser version, login provider and time. 7. Submit a Replika support request from the registered email.

Recent community reports describe deletion problems for accounts created with Google or Apple sign-in and for VoiceOver users. Some users report succeeding on the web after establishing password access, but Replika's official deletion article does not document that workaround. Treat it as a troubleshooting clue, not a guaranteed fix. Do not unlink identity providers or abandon the original account until support confirms the correct path.

Request formal personal-data erasure

Replika provides a separate GDPR/right-to-erasure procedure through its support form. Its published instructions say to choose Privacy & Safety, send the request from the registered email, identify the account, and confirm that permanent deletion is understood. Replika may request information needed to verify account ownership and says it will email confirmation when deletion is complete.

Use this route when you need documented privacy handling, cannot access the normal deletion control, or want explicit confirmation concerning personal data. Share only the minimum verification information requested through the official support channel. Redact unrelated receipt details and never send a password.

Privacy rights differ by jurisdiction, and this article is not legal advice. The practical distinction is that pressing Delete my Account is a product action, while a formal erasure request creates a support/privacy record that can be tracked.

Billing, refunds and charges after deletion

Replika has a dedicated Help Center article for users billed after deleting an account. It states that deleting the app or account does not automatically cancel subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google. If a charge appears, first identify the transaction owner from the receipt, check whether the subscription remains active there, and cancel future renewal.

For App Store or Google Play purchases, refund requests are handled by Apple or Google. Replika's general policy describes digital subscriptions as non-refundable, while also directing users with errors to support and the relevant store process. Do not describe a cancellation as an approved refund.

Keep the cancellation confirmation, deletion screenshot, receipt, transaction ID and support ticket. Dispute only legitimate unauthorized or erroneous charges and provide an accurate timeline.

Does deleting the Replika app delete my account?

No. Uninstalling removes the app from the device. It does not delete the Replika account, erase server data or cancel an active subscription.

Does deleting a Replika account cancel Pro or Ultra?

Do not assume so. Replika explicitly says Apple and Google subscriptions continue until canceled through the store. Cancel through the original billing provider before deleting.

Can I recover my Replika after deleting the account?

Replika says account deletion is permanent. The old companion, chats, memories, photos, levels and associated content cannot be recovered.

Can I create a new Replika with the same email?

Replika's reset guide says users can create a new account after deletion, but the previous Replika and content do not return. Subscription restoration depends on the purchase channel and should be confirmed before deletion.

Can I delete chat history without deleting Replika?

Not in full. Replika's current Help Center says the entire conversation history cannot be deleted without deleting the account. Individual memories can be managed separately.

Should I delete my account to stop a renewal?

No. Cancel the subscription through Apple, Google Play, PayPal or Replika web billing. Account deletion is broader and permanently destroys content.
