Your data, your call

Delete your Waybound data.

Your Waybound data lives on your iPhone, not with us. Here is how to erase it, and what to remove by hand.

01Delete everything in the app

Waybound has no online account and keeps no copy on a server. Once erased, your data can come back only from an iPhone backup made before you erased it.

  1. 1
    Open Waybound and go to the Profile tab.
  2. 2
    Tap the settings button in the top corner.
  3. 3
    Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account. That is the button's name in the app, even though there is no online account: it erases what Waybound keeps on this iPhone.
  4. 4
    A dialog asks “Delete your account?” Tap Delete account to confirm, or Keep everything to cancel. This cannot be undone. Your profile, activities, expedition, Journal and progress are erased from your iPhone and Waybound starts fresh.

Not removed by this button: the copy of your profile photo Waybound keeps, and your iMessage sticker list. Delete the app to remove them. The original photo stays in your Photos library.

02Remove the app completely

Deleting Waybound from your iPhone removes everything it stored, including your profile photo and your sticker list. Touch and hold the Waybound icon on your Home Screen, tap Remove App, then Delete App.

03Delete a single activity

Open the activity from the Activity tab, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete activity.

04Copies outside the app

  • Photos. Share images and flyover videos you saved stay in your Photos library. Delete them there.
  • Backups. iCloud and computer backups of your iPhone include app data until they are replaced by a newer backup.
  • Stickers you sent. Stickers and images already sent in Messages stay in those conversations.
  • Share links. A link you sent contains its run or find inside the link itself. We do not store it, so there is nothing for us to delete, and we cannot withdraw it. To stop it being seen, ask the people you sent it to delete it.
  • Email. If you wrote to us and want that conversation deleted, email support@waybound.app and we will remove it.

05If you lose your iPhone

Erase the device with Find My. We hold no copy of your Waybound data, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

06Need help?

To ask us to delete anything we hold about you, including website request logs, email support@waybound.app; we reply within 30 days. Email the same address with any question about your data. Because we do not hold your Waybound data, we cannot see or delete it for you, but we will walk you through it.
