# Pause your account to take a break

Hide your profile for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or 3 months without losing your matches or chats, and resume whenever you like.

Pausing hides your profile from new people for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or 3 months. You keep your account, your matches and your chats, and you can resume at any time.

## Pause your account in the Android app

1. Open the **Profile** tab and tap **Settings**.
2. Tap **Privacy and security**.
3. Under **Pause account**, tap **1 Week**, **2 Weeks**, **1 Month** or **3 Months**.

The pause starts the moment you tap; there is no second question. You will see **Account Paused**, and the screen then shows the date your pause ends.

## While you are paused

- Nobody finds you in For You or Daily. Likes you sent before pausing are hidden from the other person until you resume.
- You can still open your matches and chat with them.
- You cannot like or pass. **For You** shows **Your account is paused**, and you get no new Daily introductions.
- Murudo stops sending you reminder notifications.
- Your profile and photos stay exactly as they are.
- Premium does not pause. A pass keeps counting down, and a Google Play subscription still renews.

## Resume

Open **Privacy and security** again and tap **Resume Account**. You will see **Your account is active again.** If you do nothing, the pause ends by itself on the date shown.

On the paused **For You** screen, the button **Open Privacy & Security** takes you to the same place.

To make a pause longer or shorter, resume and then pause again.

## On Murudo Web

Open **Profile**, tap **Settings**, then **Privacy**. The same four buttons are under **Pause account**, and **Resume Account** appears while you are paused.

## Is pausing what you need?

- To leave for good, [delete your account](https://help.murudo.co/account-and-login/delete-your-account/). That cannot be undone.
- To hide only when you were last online or your city, see [Hide your last active time or location](https://help.murudo.co/privacy/hide-last-active-and-location/).
- Gold members who want to keep browsing without being widely shown can use [Stealth Mode](https://help.murudo.co/finding-people/browse-privately/).
