How do I change my profile type?

The short answer: no such switch exists — neither in the profile settings nor in the account settings. If you picked the wrong option on the first step of profile creation, the profile has to be created again, by deleting the account and registering anew.

The profile type shapes nearly everything around it. Search filters and compatibility matching depend on it. Verification of a couple profile confirms both partners; a solo profile confirms one person. In messaging, a couple profile chooses whose name a message is sent under. Most importantly, every like and every conversation was addressed to a profile of a specific type: someone who wrote to a solo profile made that decision about a solo profile. A retroactive type switch would leave those connections resting on wrong information. Gramsy is built on everything important being stated honestly before the first message, and this is no exception.

If your type is wrong:

  1. Want this to go faster? Contact support first, while your account is still active — once you request deletion, support becomes unavailable.
  2. Delete the account in the account settings — the way to the button is described in "How do I delete my account?". Deletion has a 30-day cancellation window; during that period you can reach us through the contacts page.
  3. After deletion your email address is freed. Register again and pick the right option on the first profile step: "Personal profile" or "Couple profile".

You lose little by recreating: photos and profile texts go through moderation again in any case, and filling everything in takes a few minutes.

How do I delete my profile?

There is no separate button for deleting a profile. The profile and the account are tied together: each account has one profile, so removing the profile while keeping the account is not possible.

Usually the wish behind the question is a different one: to disappear from view. There is a switch for that. Open your profile editor and go to the "Settings" section — these are the settings of the profile itself, separate from the account settings. Turn off "Profile active": your profile is then hidden from everyone but you, it does not appear in search, and nobody can start a new conversation with you. Nothing is deleted in the process. Photos, texts and conversations stay where they are, and you can switch the profile back on at any time.

If you want your data gone altogether, that happens through account deletion: the profile goes with it. The steps are in "How do I delete my account?".
