The TripAdvisor portal lists general information on places, hotels and, above all, a large number of restaurants and bistros for travelers. The reviews are particularly helpful for travelers from travelers. However, if you want to delete your account, TripAdvisor won't make it easy for you.
- In the past, the link was deeply hidden on TripAdvisor's support pages. You can now access the corresponding option via your account.
- Select the "Account information" option in your user account to display a number of settings.
- At the bottom of this page you will find something inconspicuous under the item "Did you forget to log out of your TripAdvisor account on another computer? Did you lose your phone?" the "close your account" option.
- Note that this option does not work through the iOS or Android app. So you have to either close your account on a computer or in a browser.
How to delete your TripAdvisor account
On the page that now opens you will find the link "Close my account" in addition to many ways to receive less advertising.
- You have to click on a selection, but otherwise give no feedback. Of course, you can now also decide to change only individual settings, such as sending the newsletter, and to keep your account.
- If you only disturb the displayed options, you have the option to choose one of the green buttons next to your reason for closing your account. Then you will be redirected to the TripAdvisor support page.
- Be careful not to press the prominent green button at the bottom of the page, as it will not delete your account. Instead, click the nondescript blue link "Close my account" next to the password field.
- After entering your password and confirming account closure, you will be warned that it will take up to three business days for the changes to take effect. Your account is closed.
