Due to the TikTok ban, many TikTok users are moving to RedNote, a popular social media app in China. Up to now (January 25, 2025), over a million Americans have downloaded RedNote as an alternative to TikTok. Actually, RedNote combines the features of TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, allowing users to share videos, photo posts, and text content. That’s also why an increasing number of people are migrating to the app, and you might be one of them.
After trying the recently popular RedNote app, you might want to delete your RedNote account due to privacy concerns or because you don’t want to continue using it for some reason. So, how to delete RedNote account? The following are clear instructions to help you navigate the account deletion process with ease.
How to Delete RedNote Account
If you’re wondering “How to delete my RedNote account?”, you are in the right place. Follow the steps below to cancel your RedNote account permanently.
Step 1. Open the RedNote app on your Android phone or iPhone.
Step 2. Tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) on the top left and click the Settings icon at the bottom.
Step 3. On the Settings page, click the Account Security option.
Step 4. Tap the Account Cancellation at the bottom of the page. Next, you may be required to verify your identity by entering the code received by your bound mobile phone.
Although I have changed my system and RedNote language to English, the following account deletion page might still appear in Mandarin.
Step 5. What happens after you delete your RedNote account? Here is the translated version of the important reminder that RedNote asks you to understand.
After the RedNote account is canceled, you will no longer be able to use the account, including but not limited to:

Step 6. Select a reason for cancellation and confirm the deletion of your account.
How to Deactivate RedNote Account
Sometimes, you may want to temporarily deactivate your RedNote account instead of permanently deleting it. So, how do you deactivate RedNote account? Unfortunately, there is no option in the RedNote app to deactivate your account. However, there’s still a workaround.
