Delete your account
You can delete your account from Settings in the app. It can't be undone, and you need an internet connection.
Before you start
- If you pay for Premium, cancel it first. Deleting your account doesn't cancel your plan, and the app reminds the person who pays.
Step by step
Open Petal Home and tap Settings, the gear at the top right of Home.
Tap Account (Sign out or delete your account).
Tap Delete account under Delete your account.
Type DELETE to confirm. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple asks you to confirm too.
What happens to your household
- If you're the only admin and there are other adults, you're asked to choose Pass the family to another adult or Delete the whole family.
- If you're the last person in the household, the household and everything in it is deleted.
- If you're the only admin and everyone else is a child, the household closes for everyone and shared things are deleted. Children keep their private things. To keep the household going, invite another adult first and pass it to them.
- Otherwise (another admin stays, or you're not an admin), your private things go and shared things stay with the household.
Newsletter
If you signed up for the newsletter, the delete screen has an unticked box, Also take me off the newsletter. Leave it unticked to keep getting it. You can unsubscribe any time from the link in any newsletter.
More detail
What is deleted and what is kept is explained on the account deletion page.
