How to delete your Muse account

There’s no separate “delete Muse account” button: Muse lives inside your Meta account. To get rid of it, you reset Muse (which erases its data), cancel any plan, disconnect your apps and uninstall. Or you delete the whole Meta account. Here’s the right order, so you don’t keep paying or leave apps connected.

Quick answer

There’s no standalone “delete Muse account” button, because Muse runs on your Meta account. To get rid of Muse, do these in order: 1) download your data if you want a copy; 2) cancel any paid plan where you bought it; 3) disconnect your apps (Settings → Connectors, plus WhatsApp under Messaging channels); 4) reset Muse (Settings → Data controls → Reset), which permanently deletes its chats, files and tasks; 5) uninstall the app. To remove Muse along with everything else, delete your Meta account in Accounts Center.

How we checked

TestedWe’ve checked these settings on our own account (Data controls on October 1, Messaging channels on October 3 and Connectors on October 7, 2026) without resetting or deleting anything. What each step does comes from Meta’s Help Center. See how we label evidence.

Delete Muse, step by step

  1. Download your data (optional)Settings → Data controls → Download your agent data. Do this first: a reset can’t be undone. Details.
  2. Cancel any paid planCancel where you subscribed (App Store, Google Play or muse.ai). Resetting or uninstalling doesn’t stop billing. How to cancel.
  3. Disconnect your appsSettings → Connectors → disconnect each one. Meta says disconnecting “stops Muse from exchanging data with the Connector.”2 For WhatsApp: Settings → Messaging channels → WhatsApp → Disconnect. Muse in WhatsApp.
  4. Reset MuseSettings → Data controls → the reset option (on the web it’s labeled “Reset” plus your Muse’s name) → confirm. Per MetaIt deletes “all information including chat history, files and active tasks,” and “resetting Muse cannot be undone.”1
  5. UninstallRemove the Muse app from your phone, iPad or Mac, and sign out of muse.ai in your browser.

Delete your whole Meta account

Per MetaDeleting your Meta account in Accounts Center deletes “all information associated with your account, including Muse.”1 Think carefully first: the same Meta account can also be your login for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Meta AI and Meta’s glasses.3 If you only want Muse gone, the steps above are enough.

Want less, not none?

  • Stop AI training on your chats: Settings → Data controls → turn off Help improve our AI models. How.
  • Delete single chats, goals or files instead of everything. How.
  • Seeing “Muse” in Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp that you never set up? That’s usually Meta AI, which is managed separately. Which Muse is it?

What Meta doesn’t say

Meta’s Help Center doesn’t describe a “deactivate Muse” option, a separate Muse account deletion, or how long deleted Muse data takes to be fully erased from its systems. We checked on October 13, 2026. Muse’s privacy policy covers retention in general terms. Muse privacy, explained.

Frequently asked questions

How do I delete my Muse account?

Muse uses your Meta account, so there isn’t a separate Muse account to delete. Reset Muse in Settings → Data controls (this deletes its chats, files and tasks), cancel any paid plan, disconnect your apps, then uninstall. To remove everything, delete your Meta account in Accounts Center.

Does deleting the Muse app delete my account?

No. Uninstalling only removes the app from your phone. Your Muse data and any subscription remain until you reset Muse and cancel the plan.

Does resetting Muse cancel my subscription?

No. Meta says a reset deletes your Muse data, but a paid plan is managed separately. Cancel it where you bought it: App Store, Google Play or muse.ai.

Can I deactivate Muse instead of deleting it?

Meta doesn’t offer a deactivate option for Muse that we could find. You can stop using it, disconnect your apps and turn off AI training without deleting anything.
