How to delete an account on Avito - detailed instructions

Greetings my dear subscribers. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the most popular free service for submitting advertisements from individuals and legal entities is Avito. But even if you registered specifically to buy a Dualshock 4, sometimes you may need to delete your Avito account.

Unfortunately, the service itself does not provide any tools for performing these actions. However, there is one way to quickly get rid of your account.

So let’s not put it off for a long time and quickly move on to considering this issue.

What you need to know before deleting

A user account on Avito is a kind of Personal Account. It contains the person’s identification data, his mobile phone number, and email address. Having an account on the specified site makes it possible to place advertisements and edit them.

Note: There are two types of accounts on Avito - an individual and a company. The latter can additionally connect to Pro status, which significantly expands the capabilities of the personal account.

Deleting an Avito account will lead to the destruction of all posted advertisements without the possibility of their restoration. User data will be permanently erased - activity log, personal data, saved information. You should also take into account that re-registration under the same login and phone number will not be possible.

To protect the portal from scammers, the developers do not provide the ability to quickly delete an account. In any case, you must contact the support service, which will consider each application individually.

Depending on the situation, the user is recommended to choose one of the methods to delete his profile:

Delete account by phone number

When describing how to delete a profile on Avito, I made a reference to how important the phone number is in identifying the user, because the user account is linked to this number. If necessary, you can unlink the number specified during registration in your personal account settings and link your account to another number, with appropriate confirmation via SMS.

If you only have a phone number and nothing more, and your account is blocked, then you should contact the site’s technical support with a request to delete your account, indicating in the request the phone number to which the account is linked. If the decision is positive, your account will be deleted.

Through social networks

It is important to remember that after deleting your profile from Avito, you will not be able to register your account again using the same data (phone number, email, etc.). The situation is similar with advertisements; it is impossible to restore information about goods or services.

Unfortunately, the listed benefits do not apply to “Settings”: you cannot manually delete an Avito account either from iOS or Android, and therefore you will have to contact support again, using not the most transparent navigation:

1. First, you will have to go to the “Account” section using the button located on the quick access panel at the bottom of the interface.

2. Next you will have to click on the upper left corner, where the name of the current profile is written.

3. The last step is to scroll down the menu that appears to “Help” and then find the “Ask a Question” option on the FAQ page.

Then all that remains is to repeat the steps that are described for the computer version, that is, you need to open the “Account” section, and then click on the “Delete account” item. To confirm the procedure, you will have to come up with a reason and send an appeal.

The Avito classifieds platform helps a buyer find a seller, and an employee - an employer. But, if the search has already ended and the service’s services are no longer needed, everyone can leave, both from the computer and from mobile platforms.

An application to unblock an account will be considered from 1 to 7 days. It all depends on the complexity of the situation and the workload of the support service. Sometimes the operator asks the user to send additional documents or answer some questions. Complete all support requirements to restore access to your profile.

Note: Try logging into your account periodically. Sometimes profile restoration occurs without sending the user a cover letter.
