Hey folks! Hope you are all doing fantastic :) đ
If I was to delete my IF account, does this remove all of your Violations and stats? And on the image below, it says âyour subscription will still remain but on a anonymous account.â
Does this also mean that my IFC account will get deleted? If I was to delete my account, could I not link it via the Forum?
If someone can answer my question, that will be great! đ
Let me know if this topic needs to be moved to another category :)
No, your IFC account will be unaffected. It will simply be unlinked from your subscription, and you will have to re-link it (if you choose to do so) after deleting your IF account. Same goes for your Discord account.
Deleting your IF account only affects your in-app stats, (XP, Flight hours, Landings, ATC ops, etc.)
If youâve deleted your account and you attempt to sign in with IF (prompting the IFC authorization window to appear), itâs not gonna work, since deleting your account has unlinked the IFC from it. Youâll have to reconnect it through IFâs settings â Account â Community Forum Account on your anonymous account with the active subscription.
Oh youâve already connected your IFC to another empty account, different from the one your subscription is linked to.
Not to worry, though! Follow these steps and youâll get your subscription account back:
On your current screen from the screenshot above, tap âif.EnglandYTâ, which will prompt your IFC account to be unlinked. Confirm this - since itâs an empty account, you will not lose any data.
Tap âGet Proâ, then tap âRevert to Default Accountâ - this will bring you back to the account with your active subscription.
On this account, head to Settings â Account â Community Forum Account, tap âConnectâ on the right hand side of your screen, authorize the connection when prompted, and you should be good to go, with your IFC account linked to your active subscription.
For some reason, the app doesnât recognize you have an active subscription when you revert to the default account.
What matters is that the device youâre linking your IFC from is the same as the device youâve purchased your subscription from. It may prove problematic if youâve purchased the subscription from your phone and are trying to link your IFC from your tablet.
Is your subscription still displayed as active on the App Store?
If you tap any of the subscription plans, does it prompt you to pay for another subscription or does it eventually tell you youâre already subscribed? If the former is happening, and your subscription is displayed as active on the App Store, do not purchase another subscription, since that way, youâd effectively be subscribed twice.
I also have to add is that when I bought my IF sub, it was on an another iPad of mine ages ago. That other iPad of min is now very old. This is my current iPad (IPad Pro) that I use to play IF with
Whether you go through the deviceâs settings and tap your Apple ID at the very top of your deviceâs settings â Subscriptions, or open the App Store â your Apple IDâs profile picture â Subscriptions shouldnât matter, as the subscription should be linked to your Apple ID either way. Try both, if youâd like - but it should give you the same page with your subscriptions.
