How to Deactivate Your Robinhood Account: A Step-by-Step Guide

Deactivating your Robinhood account is a straightforward process that allows you to close your account, sell remaining shares, and remove the app from your device. Here’s a simple guide to walk you through the steps.

Step 1: Access Your Account Settings Start by opening the Robinhood app on your mobile device. At the bottom of the screen, locate and press the icon that resembles a person. This will take you to your account profile.

Step 2: Navigate to Deactivation Settings Once you’re in your profile, click on the "Settings" option. Under "Settings," select "Account." Scroll down until you see the option labeled "Deactivate your account."

Step 3: Sell Remaining Shares Before deactivating your account, you must ensure that any remaining shares in your Robinhood account are sold. You can sell these shares directly through the app before completing the account closure process. Make sure all transactions are finalized to avoid any issues.

Step 4: Deactivate Your Account After selling your remaining shares, proceed with deactivating your account. This step ensures that your Robinhood account is no longer active and that no further transactions can occur.

Step 5: Remove the Robinhood App Once your account is deactivated, the final step is to remove the Robinhood app from your phone. To do this, press and hold the Robinhood app icon on your device's home screen. A menu will appear—click "Remove App." Confirm your choice by pressing "Delete App."
