Delete your Spotted account

Last updated: 22 October 2026

This page explains how to delete your account in Spotted: Places from Reels, the app by Abbas Anandwala on Google Play and the App Store, and what happens to your data. You can do it at any time. Deletion is permanent and can’t be undone.

In the app (fastest)

  1. Open Spotted and tap your profile picture at the top of My saves to open Settings.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.
  3. Confirm. Your data is deleted straight away and you’re signed out.

Without the app

If you’ve uninstalled Spotted or can’t sign in:

  1. Email hello@adevtutorials.in with the subject “Delete my Spotted account”.
  2. Send it from the email address you signed in with. If you used Sign in with Apple and hid your email, write from the address Apple forwards to and tell us you used Apple.
  3. We’ll check that the account is yours, delete it within 30 days, and reply when it’s done.

Delete some data, keep your account

You don’t have to delete your account to remove data. In the app you can delete any saved reel (with its places and thumbnail) or any place, and delete or rename vaults. To ask us to delete other data, email the address above.

What gets deleted

  • Your account: name, email address, profile photo link, and the Google or Apple sign-in link and sessions. Spotted’s access to your Apple ID is revoked with Apple.
  • Every saved reel, with its link, caption, title, summary, thumbnail image and places.
  • Your vaults (collections).
  • Push notification tokens for your devices.
  • Your Spotted Pro plan record and your save history.

What’s kept, and for how long

  • Backups: deleted data can remain in our database provider’s backups for up to 30 days before they’re overwritten.
  • Crash reports and usage analytics: these are tied to a pseudonymous account ID, not your name or email, and expire on their own: crash reports within 90 days, usage events within 12 months.
  • Server logs and rate-limit counters: removed within a few weeks (counters within a day).
  • Purchase records: Apple, Google and our payment partner RevenueCat keep records of Spotted Pro purchases for tax and accounting, under their own policies.
  • Settings stored only on your phone (theme, accent colour) are removed when you uninstall the app.

Subscriptions

Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a Spotted Pro subscription; it keeps renewing until you cancel it. On iPhone go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions; on Android open Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancel it before or after deleting your account.
