FAQ

Frequently asked.

How do I create a Nodesto account?

Download Nodesto from the App Store, tap "Get Started," and follow the on-screen instructions to create your account using your email address, Google account, phone number, or Sign in with Apple.

How does Nodesto personalize my recommendations?

Nodesto learns from your activity — the photos you post, dishes you save, posts you like, and friends you follow. The more you use the app, the sharper your taste profile gets. There are no quizzes or setup steps.

Is Nodesto free to use?

Yes. Nodesto is free to download and use. All core features — discovery, AI search, social feed, calorie scan, and the map — are available at no cost.

How do I reset my password?

On the login screen, tap "Forgot Password" and enter your email address. You'll receive instructions to reset your password. If you don't receive the email, check your spam folder or contact support@nodesto.com.

Can I use Nodesto on multiple devices?

Yes. Sign in with the same account on any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Your taste profile, saves, and posts sync automatically across devices.

How do I report inappropriate content?

Tap the three-dot menu on any post, photo, or profile and select "Report." Choose the reason and submit. We review reports within 24–48 hours.

What data does Nodesto collect about me?

We collect only what we need to power your taste profile and the social features. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of data types and how each is used.

Your data, your control

Delete your account & data.

You can permanently delete your Nodesto account and all associated data at any time. Three ways to do it:

Permanently delete your account

Deletion removes your profile, posts, photos, lists, taste profile, and all other personal information. The action is permanent and cannot be undone.

In the app Open Nodesto, tap your Profile tab, then the ⋯ menu in the top corner. Choose Help & Support → Deactivate Account and confirm.
By email Send a request from your account email to support@nodesto.com and we will confirm and process it within 48 hours.
How it works: your account is deactivated immediately and your posts are hidden. After a 7-day grace period, your account and all associated data are permanently deleted. Sign back in any time within those 7 days to cancel the deletion and restore your account.

What gets deleted: your profile, username, posts, reviews, photos, lists, comments, taste profile, calorie history, saved bookmarks, follow connections, notifications, and uploaded media.

What may remain:
  • Messages you sent to other users stay in the recipient's inbox — we delete your copy, but we do not delete other people's message history.
  • Automatic system backups and server logs may briefly retain copies; these roll out within our infrastructure providers' standard retention window (typically up to 30 days).
  • Aggregate analytics that no longer identify you — for example, counts like "posts created in May 2026."
  • Records under legal or safety hold — if we received a court order, regulatory request, or confirmed abuse/safety report involving your account, we retain only the records needed to meet that obligation, for as long as the obligation requires.

See our Privacy Policy for the full retention schedule.
