Can't Disable Real ID

To disable Real ID, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Blizzard Account Settings
2. Click on the Privacy & Communication tab
3. Click on the pencil icon next to Social Settings to allow editing
4. Click in the box to the right of Real ID to remove the green check mark and disable Real ID

Real ID friends will be converted to Battle tag friends if you turn off Real ID.

All friends must be manually upgraded through the Upgrade to Real ID Friend option if Real ID is turned back on. A list cannot be restored to a previous state.

Note: If Parental Controls are enabled on your account, you will not be able to enable or disable Real ID. This must be disabled through the Parental Controls directly.
