Sometimes you need a break from being an Impostor or a Crewmate, and you might think about deleting your Among Us account. The good news is, you can definitely delete your Among Us account, though the steps are a bit different depending on if you play on an iPhone or iPad, or on other devices like Android, PC, or consoles.

If you're playing Among Us on an iOS device (like an iPhone or iPad), you can usually delete your account right from the game's settings. For players on other platforms, like Android, PC, or consoles, you'll need to contact Among Us support directly to begin the deletion process. Either way, deleting your account will permanently remove all your game progress, purchases, and linked accounts.

Why Would You Want to Delete Your Among Us Account?

There are many reasons why someone might want to delete their Among Us account. Maybe you've played a lot and need a break, or perhaps you're just clearing out old accounts you don't use anymore. For some, it might be about privacy and wanting to reduce their online presence. No matter your reason, knowing how to remove your account is helpful.

How to Delete Your Among Us Account

The way you delete your Among Us account depends on what device you use to play.

If You Play on iOS (iPhone or iPad):

This is the easiest way to delete your account, as there's a direct option in the game.

1. Open Among Us on your iOS device.

2. From the home screen, tap the Settings button in the bottom-left corner. It looks like a small gear.

3. Tap on the Data tab at the top of the settings screen.

4. You'll see an option called "Delete Account." Tap it.

5. A message will pop up. Read it carefully. It tells you what will be deleted (hint: everything!)

6. To confirm, check the box and type "DELETE" in the box when asked. Make sure it's all in capital letters.

7. Tap the Confirm button.

Your account deletion process will start and usually takes 7-14 days to complete.

If You Play on PC, Android, or Console:

For players on platforms other than iOS, you generally need to reach out to Among Us's support team.

1. Go to the official Innersloth Help Center website. You can usually find this by searching "Innersloth support" or by looking for a "Submit a Request" link on their site.

2. Choose the option to "Delete My Among Us Account" or submit a support ticket related to account deletion.

3. You will need to provide some important details, such as:

• Your Account Support ID (you can find this in your game settings).
• The platform you use to log in (like Steam, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch).
• Your account name on that platform (NOT your in-game Among Us username).

4. Explain clearly that you want to delete your Among Us account.

5. Submit the ticket and wait for their support team to get back to you. They will guide you through the rest of the process.

I remember once I was really into Among Us, playing almost every night with my friends. After a few months, I felt like I was spending too much time on it and wasn't focusing on other things. I actually considered deleting my account to force myself to take a break. It felt like a big step, but the idea of just walking away from all the Impostor wins and custom hats made me pause. Sometimes, you just need a refresh.

What Happens When You Delete Your Among Us Account?

Deleting your account is a serious step because it's mostly permanent. Here's what goes away:

• All Progress and Stats: Your game history, wins, losses, and achievements are gone.
• Purchased Items: Any Stars, XP, Beans, Pods, and all your cool hats, pets, and outfits will be erased.
• Linked Accounts: If you linked your Among Us account to other platforms, those links will also be removed, and the data related to Among Us on those platforms will be deleted.
• No Reversal: Once your account is fully deleted after the 7-14 day period, it cannot be brought back.

Before You Hit That Button: Important Things to Know

Can You Cancel the Deletion?

Yes, if you change your mind within the first few days of starting the deletion process, you can stop it.

Go back to the game's settings, then to the Data tab. You should see an option to "Cancel Account Deletion." Tap it and confirm, and your account will stay active.

Are There Any Limitations?

Keep in mind that some accounts cannot be deleted:

• Banned Accounts: If your account has been permanently banned from the game, you can't delete it to try and get around the ban.
• Child Accounts: If it's a child account, the deletion request must come from a verified adult email address linked to the parent account. This is to protect younger players' privacy.

A while ago, my little cousin accidentally put in the wrong birth year when he made his Among Us account, so it was set up as a child account. When he wanted to delete it to start fresh and fix the age, his mom had to be the one to send the email to support. It was a bit more work, but it made sense that they wanted to make sure an adult was involved for a kid's account. He eventually got a new account set up after learning how to make an Among Us account properly.

Alternatives to Deleting Your Account

If you're just taking a break, you don't always have to delete your account. You could simply uninstall the game for a while, or just stop playing. Your account and all your items will still be there if you decide to come back.

Deleting your Among Us account is a big step that removes all your progress and purchases. Make sure you truly want to say goodbye before you go through with it!
