Delete your Balsso account
In the app
Open Settings → Account → Delete account and confirm. Every device is signed out at once.
Without the app
Enter the number your account uses. We send a code to it by Telegram or SMS; if your account has a registration PIN, you will be asked for it too.
Your account is deleted. All devices are signed out, and the number can be used for a new account.
What is deleted
- Your profile: name, username, photo and about text, and your contact link.
- Your devices, their keys and sessions, push tokens, and messages still waiting for delivery to you.
- Your contact list on our server, your blocks, privacy settings and registration PIN.
- Your group memberships: you leave every group.
- The daily usage counts kept for 30 days.
- Your number is released: it can register again, as a brand-new account.
What we cannot delete or keep for a while
- Messages you already sent stay on the other people's phones. They are end-to-end encrypted; we never could read them and cannot reach them.
- Encrypted photos and files you uploaded expire on their own within 30 days.
- A record with no name and no number stays, marked deleted, so other people's chats show "Deleted account".
- Reports other people made about the account are kept while we handle them.
- Encrypted backups of our database are overwritten on schedule: daily copies after 14 days, weekly after 60 days, monthly after 13 months. We never restore single accounts from them.
