If you’ve made a profile on Reddit but don’t feel like using it anymore, we’ve compiled a simple guide to help you delete Reddit account on your iPhone.

Before you start the deletion process, you should know that once a Reddit profile is deleted, it can’t be reactivated at a later stage. Your username won’t be recycled either and won’t be available if you decide to create another account with the same name.

Also, Reddit doesn’t delete the content posted or comments by your profile automatically upon deletion; you’ll have to delete your posts individually before proceeding with the deletion of your Reddit account. If you want to copy all subreddits to a new reddit account, check out our guide here.
