Quick answer: Yes. Turn off Discoverable to stop being shown as a new potential match, and turn it back on whenever you're ready.
- Discoverable is in your Match Preferences: tap the icon in the upper right of Discover, or go to My Profile > Match Preferences.
- While it's off, your existing Matches and chats can still see and message you, and your online status still shows. You can still browse other members' profiles as usual. Turning Discoverable off only hides you, not them.
- Want a quieter break? Turn off notifications too.
- Leaving for good? You can delete your profile. Deleting is permanent and doesn't cancel your subscription.
- Need a full break? Pause your account from My Profile > Account Settings > Manage Account > Pause account. Your profile and Likes are hidden, your chats are frozen, and your subscription keeps renewing. Log back in to unpause.

While your account is paused

- Your chats are frozen, so no new messages can be sent. Members you've been chatting with will see that you've paused your account.

Take a quieter break
