Based on Apple's guideline 5.1.1 (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#5.1.1), apps that allow account creation must allow account deletion. Our app only requires a specific ID and birthdate for in-app registration or account activation. But the actual account creation does not happen in-app. Does our app also need account deletion functionality as well?

Thanks in advance.

Same question here too. The account creation on my app does not happen in-app too. So, do we need an account deletion functionality as well?

I think the spirit of account deletion is GDPR - privacy. It's related to the legal requirement that the user can have all server based data tied to an identity deleted.
