Frequently asked questions

Upload photos to Tinder® that feature who everyone came to see: you! Ditch your friends, because this isn’t about them, and remove the sunglasses, because they hide your face. The best pics are in-focus, and some say a smile goes a long way here.

Your bio is a snapshot of who you are. If writing isn’t your thing, you can make a list of things you like or want. Keep it light and talk about your hobbies, or go deep and talk about what you’re looking for in a match. For info on what not to include in your bio, check out our Community Guidelines.

If you’re having second thoughts about someone you liked – no sweat. You can unmatch anyone, at any time. Tap the blue shield in either your match’s profile or the chat to go to the Safety Toolkit and unmatch.

To make a match, 2 members must both use the Swipe Right® feature to like each other.

When we tell you you’ve missed a match, it means you used the Swipe Left™ feature for someone who liked you.

Tinder® can be downloaded for free in the App Store and Google Play Store, or visit https://tinder.com to use Tinder for Web. Basic features let you create a profile, use the Swipe Right® feature to like someone, and use the Swipe Left™ feature to pass.

Tinder® connects you with profiles using location-based technology, based on the gender, distance and orientation filters you’ve set.

Tinder® offers Photo Verification, to make sure the person you’re talking to matches their photos. Verified profiles will have a blue checkmark, and we strongly suggest you get one – they suit everyone, and help keep our community safe.

For those seeking a desktop experience, you can enjoy most of our features on https://tinder.com.
