100 Hot Frequently Asked Questions On Tinder

Tinder is the most popular dating app, and Tinder FAQ is a hot topic. The simplicity, low thresholds, and the fact that you encounter “real people” instead of creepy fakers are not to be sneezed at by ingredients for languorous singles (and sometimes also non-singles). Yet another finds the app especially interesting to discover its ‘market value’.

If you are an avid Tinderer, you may run into problems, inconveniences, or questions. We discussed the most urgent part of this FAQ. This is obviously not an official FAQ, and some things, especially those concerning the mysterious Tinder algorithm, often keep you guessing. There were many frequently asked questions about online dating. Let’s address the most common Tinder questions.

How does Tinder determine which profiles are shown to whom?

Whoever you get to see at Discoveries and who you are, is certainly not based on arbitrariness: there seems to be a rather sophisticated algorithm behind it. This is, of course, aimed at achieving as many matches as possible. The makers of Tinder have little to say about the how and what of this algorithm.

We do know that someone’s popularity plays an important role in the algorithm. Tinder uses a rating system that allows users to rank on how desirable they are (something that is not uncommon with dating apps and sites). Tinder does this based on a so-called ELO score.

The term ELO comes from chess, which is used to track players’ skills. Tinder uses the same statistical model to determine the attractiveness of profiles. The principle is that if someone with a high ELO score swipes to the right with someone with a low score, the latter gets many points. The reason: he or she is liked by a popular person. And if attractive people continue to like it, that score will only increase even further.

Tinder has confirmed the existence of the ELO score for Tinder profiles, but of course, Tinder users can’t find that score. The company also said that other factors also play a part, such as general attractiveness. An essential part of this is the conversion rate of profile photos.

Not confirmed by Tinder, but probably also affecting your ELO score is how picky you are. Swiping too little or just a lot to the right can work at your disadvantage.

Tinder probably also allows you to consider how active you are on the platform: with the general use of it, and with the sending and answering of messages. Tinder ranks users who are few online or send few messages lower.

New accounts finally automatically receive a higher score, the so-called noob boost. But that is only very temporary.

Web magazine Fast Company brought its internal ratings to light after becoming one of the few to take a look at its Tinder kitchen. In this article, you read about the findings. Here’s more about how the Tinder algorithm works and what you can learn from it as a user.

Does the age filter work in two directions?

Probably. You will not see people who fall within your age filter when you do not fall within theirs. Suppose you are a heterosexual man of 35, and your age filter goes from 30 to 40. You will then, logically, only see women between 30 and 40 years old. However, there are no women between whom you fall outside the age filter, for example, women who only want men between 20 and 30 years to see. Otherwise, match proposals do not make much sense.

Word of disclaimer: this is, again, no official Tinder FAQ. Tinder’s algorithms are secret, and there is still a lot of discussion on the internet about the reciprocity of Tinder filters.

Does the distance filter work in two directions?

No.

At the very least, that is what we unofficially know about this on the basis of user experience. So you can see everyone within your distance range, regardless of whether you also fall within their distance range (apart from the age range). For example, if your distance is 160 km (the maximum), you will also see people with whom you fall outside their reach.

This means that you also see people who do not see you (for example, someone who is 120 km away from you and has set a distance range of 50 km). At least at the moment. If someone you have liked adjusts his or her distance filter or enters your reach, then that person will still be able to see you, and a match is still possible.

This is an exceptional situation. If you have liked someone with whom you fall within the distance range, but later no longer (for example, because that person is passing through), then that person can still see you, even if you fall outside of his or her age range. Then there is still a possible match.

When I opened Tinder on vacation, I suddenly had a lot of matches. Should I move out for sure?

Well, not too fast. Of course, you may get a better taste in other cities or countries. But a more plausible explanation for your local Tinder success lies in the fact that you are new to that area. Tinder will treat your account as if it is new. This gives it the so-called noob boost, which makes you pop up more frequently with others. This also happens when you use the Passport function in the paid version of Tinder. After one or two days, your score will normalize again, and therefore probably also the number of matches.

I am a nice heroto man, but I scored a few matches. Do I have to worry?

Probably not. Pictures of heterosexuals score a lot less than those of women and homosexual men.

This appears to be at least from an analysis by the English company Rentify, which investigated the so-called success rate of Tinder photos. Photos of heterosexual women have a success rate of no less than 52 percent, which means that just over half of the men who come across the photo on Tinder swipe right. Photos of heterosexuals score an average of only 16 percent.

Homosexual men are among those two groups, with a success rate of 35 percent.

How does Tinder determine which of my photos is used as your main photo?

This is because the ‘Smart Photos’ feature has been enabled for you. She is active by default when you have just installed Tinder. With ‘Smart photos,” the app chooses the best photo you can, which produces the most responses. As far as we know, Tinder does this by showing users random photos from your profile and keeping track of what they do and do not lead to matches. Based on this data, the app then chooses the best photo as your main photo. According to Tinder, people with ‘smart photos’ are, on average, up to 12 percent more likely to have matches than before.

We can imagine that you would rather decide for yourself which photo is your Tinder business card. Because the question is how valuable your matches are when they are created on the basis of your very best photo.

Remember: Scoring a Tinder date is much harder than a Tinder match. If you really want more matches, the question is how smart ‘Smart Photos” is.

You simply switch the function off by sliding the switch of ‘Smart photos” (under the photos you have chosen) to the left.

Tinder Distance – How does Tinder calculate distance?

It’s based on your current or last location, so it can still show people from your “previous” distance location if you travel. Recently, Tinder distance has disappeared so it is not only inaccurate in 2022, it’s sometimes just wrong.

I accidentally swiped someone to the left. Can I undo this?

If you have Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold, the paid versions of Tinder, every swipe is irreversible if you use the free version. Alternatively, you can delete all your accounts, reinstall Tinder, and hope to meet that person again in your match proposals.

I accidentally swiped somebody to the right. Can I undo this?

Yes, you can “dispatch” someone at any time. If you accidentally swipe to the right and it turns out to be a match (an undesirable one), then you best lift the match immediately so that person does not see you with his or her matches. However, the unfortunate person has received a notification that there is a new match and will, therefore, be in vain to check her Tinder.

I accidentally gave a Super Like. Can I reverse this?

If you have Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold, you can only cancel the Super Like by canceling the match if you have a free account. But then you cannot give the person a normal-like.

If I give someone a Super Like, and it is not (yet) a match, will that person be notified?

Yes, the lucky one will receive a notification. He or she will not immediately see who the Super Like is from, but you and your Super Like will automatically encounter Discoveries. You can only chat with this person if he or she has also liked you or superseded you.

One of my matches has disappeared. How is that possible?

If a person no longer appears on your list of matches, they have canceled their match with you or deleted their account. In both cases, you can no longer chat via Tinder.

Can I unblock someone?

No. If you have canceled your match with someone (also called “blocking” or “dispatching”), you can not reverse it.

Can you see when someone was last active on Tinder?

No. There was a “last active” report on Tinder earlier in the year, but it has since been removed.

Does Tinder only show profiles of active Tinderers?

Many people wonder, does Tinder only show active users? The profiles you see on Tinder have passed many selection criteria, and recent activity is an important one. In principle, the app shows the most recently active people first. In densely populated regions, there are usually a lot of Tinderers, and you can assume that you initially see only active users. However, in less crowded Tinder areas, you can quickly get less active Tinderers presented, sometimes even to people who have not opened the app for weeks or months.

My match no longer responds to my chat messages. Did he/she perhaps block me, or has his / her account been deleted?

Neither. If a match blocks you (block = cancel match) or removes his / her Tinder account, this person will disappear from your list of matches. As long as he/she is in it, neither is the case. The match may be Tinder-tired and he/she will not open the app.

Unfortunately, it may also be that your match is just as tired. What does the heart mean next to someone last sent a message to the chat? You can press this heart to like that person’s message. He or she can then see this. Can I just put photos on my Facebook on Tinder? No, since version 4.8.0, you can upload photos directly from your film reel when using Tinder via your Facebook account.

Can I send photos to someone in the chat?

No. You can only show photos in your profile, with or without a link to your Instagram photos. However, since version 4.8.0, sending (funny) gif animations in the chat (see the blue ‘GIF’ button next to the message field). You can only send gifs from the collection that Tinder offers. Be careful with this, because once you have sent a gif, you cannot undo it.

I have deactivated my Facebook account. Can I continue to use Tinder?

No. Tinder will miss the link with Facebook and your requests to log back into Facebook. If you do not want the latter, you can create a Tinder account based on your phone number (no Facebook required), but then you can start with a new, blank profile.

If I delete my Tinder app, will I also delete my Tinder profile?

No. You must first delete it from the settings to ensure that your Tinder profile disappears (including all your matches and chat messages). If you cannot use the mobile app, you can also delete your account via a web browser at account.gotinder.com.

Are you using Tinder via Facebook? So it is wise to also go to Facebook and set up that Tinder no longer has access to your data. You can do this in Facebook Settings and then the Apps menu. You now get an overview of all the apps that you have given access to your Facebook account in the past (there are probably more than you think), and that still has it. Remove Tinder and possibly other apps, such as OnlyFans, that you no longer use.

As long as you do not delete your Tinder account, your profile can still be displayed on the app, even if you do not use it anymore. But the longer you are inactive, the less often that happens, and eventually you, Tinder-technically, will fall into oblivion.

How can I start a new Tinder profile without Tinber remembering me?

If you previously had a profile and removed that profile as described in the previous question, you can start a new account blank, so without matches and chats. But Tinder will probably remember you based on your Facebook account or telephone number.

And as a result, your Tinder attractive score may also become. The only way to start with a completely blank account is to log in via a new Facebook account (which means you have to create a second Facebook account) or log in via another phone number, such as that of a friend. In the second case, remember that a verification SMS will be sent to that number.

Does tinder show if you read the message?

Yes, if the message has been read, it will show as “read” to the other party.

What is the difference between Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold?

Plus and Gold are both paid versions of Tinder that offer you extras to facilitate matching and increase success chances. The two formulas are almost the same, with one important difference: in Tinder Gold, there is the function ‘Likes You.” This allows you to see if someone has liked you during the swipe or see a list of people you have liked. So you no longer need to like people unnecessarily to see how well you are in the market; you can search for promising matches.

In short, Tinder Gold is the same as Tinder Plus, but with the ‘Likes You” functionality. I hope we answered all your Tinder frequently asked questions as well as the www.gotinder.com faq questions you had. Do you have any more gotinder.com faq questions? Don’t hesitate to ask.

How to Create a Tinder Profile That Gets Lots of Matches?

You need to understand one thing when you’re using Tinder to date. It’s that the people on Tinder don’t swipe left or right on you. They swipe left or right on the pictures and the text you’ve chosen to include in your profile.

Note that if you don’t get anything else out of this post. It’s a very critical distinction.

And if you don’t get many matches first, you can just change your profile and get a little more.

The truth is, everybody is capable of making a profile that isn’t appealing. And many do it without understanding it—even people felt it was sexy in real life.

Now, let’s talk about exactly how to make the perfect Tinder profile.

Focus on keeping it light-hearted and short for your Tinder bio (1-3 sentences max). Completely avoid the temptation to rant, vent, or make sarcastic or sexual remarks.

You can say a few things about yourself or just rely on the details that Tinder already shows (like your work or university) and just use your bio to share quotes or jokes. Try this article for a few examples of Tinder Bio.

The other—and much more important—part of your Tinder profile is your photos. This is because most Tinder users will swipe left or right before they even read your bio. Even the best bio isn’t going to make up for poor pictures!

As for the pictures to use, select the ones that look nice in the size of Tinder.

For your first picture, you want it to be just a photo of you, with a clear view of your face and a smile. Variety is the secret to the other photos: try one outside, one dressed up, and the other engaging in a hobby, etc. They don’t have to be professional-taken to tell an attractive story about who you are.

Finally, be sure to get feedback on your profile—especially your photos. Tinder’s built-in Smart Images isn’t very good, so don’t rely too heavily on it.

Most people are really poor enough to judge their photos, and friends aren’t better off. Checking your Tinder images on the Photofeeler will help a lot.

DOs and DON’Ts of Tinder

If you don’t have Tinder, you’re probably not alone, you’re not looking to date or hook up with anyone right now, or you haven’t heard of the year-old app that gave our generation an even easier time finding a friend than ever before. The red flame icon is familiar to many, even those who don’t have popular apps like Instagram. It’s free, and all you need is a user with a Facebook page.

In a nutshell, Tinder hosts hundreds of thousands of profiles – a name and a few photos, along with an ounce of information like “Not looking for anything serious” or “I love bacon, my dog and hiking” or “I just moved to Denver, looking for new friends.” And yes, those are real examples. It also shows which friends and interests you have in common on Facebook, but you can turn that option off – along with the ability to write anything about yourself or what you’re looking for.

But before you download this app to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, there are a few things you need to know, including Tinder tips.

Tinder’s Don’ts

• Give too much information about yourself before you meet and get to know someone. You never know who the person you’re talking to is. Avoid telling them your last name, where you work, and even your phone number until you feel comfortable with them knowing all about you.
• Swipe left or right too fast. Sometimes you accidentally “swipe right”—meaning you like someone—and you didn’t mean to do that. Or you’re skipping someone you might like. Take it slow, then.
• Give your address to someone right away. Even if you use Tinder as a hook-up, you should at least meet the person first. I’d suggest the “three date rule” because then you’ll probably know their real name, what they’re doing for a living thing, and if they’re (mostly) who they say they’re.
• Take photos from years ago and/or after you gained/lost weight. If you want to represent yourself accurately, use photos that look like you to avoid embarrassment when you meet someone.
• “Like” someone if you don’t have any interest in them. The word on the street is, the guys “swipe right” for every girl, not even looking at their photos. But seriously, there are thousands of people out there on Tinder. Set a few standards.
• Go on too many dates every week. There’s such a thing as too much dating, and instead of finding out what you want in a partner, you might just turn off dating completely.

Tinder’s DO’s

• Have a lot of fun exploring Tinder. You might know many people on the app, but there are also many interesting people you wouldn’t normally run into.
• Go to Tinder with an open mind. You never know what might happen.
• Set a few expectations. I’ve said this pretty much before, but since there are so many people on Tinder, it’s okay to skip someone you’re generally not interested in. That doesn’t mean you can’t give someone a chance, but don’t force someone to go out with you.
• Use the app as if you were going to meet the people you’re communicating with. Once you start a conversation, you can block someone from going anywhere. But if it’s a good conversation, try a coffee or a drink meeting – in a public place. Let’s hope the conversation continues and you’ll have a face-to-face chat.

5 Things to remember before you hook up on Tinder

1. Most people on Tinder use it as a plug-in app. They might tell you that from the start, or you’ll find out when they start rubbing your leg immediately on your first date. Just be aware, especially if this isn’t what you’re looking for.
2. You’re going to recognize a lot of people on Tinder. Whether it’s your ex, someone you’ve wanted to go out with, or even your best friend’s current bf or girlfriend, chances are you’ll run into someone you know. To avoid embarrassment, you can swipe left and never see their profile again, or you can finally get a chance to see if they’re in you. It’s a good icebreaker, actually.
3. Tinder tells you how far away you are from a user – literally. It has pros and cons. Sometimes it says “less than a km,” and it’s a bit creepy. Is that person living in your building? Are they in the same community as you are right now? You never know, it’s fun, but it’s terrific, too. It even follows someone when they leave the state, so you can track someone – if you’re creepy.
4. A lot of people from Tinder don’t live in your exact area. Even if someone’s profile says they’re 5 km away, there’s a chance they’re visiting the airport and/or won’t be in town for a long time. Most users live in the state in which they use Tinder, but they travel a lot. Maybe that’s one of your questions when you get to know someone: are you living here? Or are we going to go out/hook-up, and I’m never going to see you again?
5. You can only chat with users that you like and that you like. If you pass on someone, you’re never going to see their profile again, and they can’t see yours. If you swipe right and like someone, but they don’t want you back, you’re not going to see their profile again. If you both like each other, you’re warned that you “have a new match,” and you can begin chatting through a messaging system that looks like an iMessage. If the convo goes a little sour, you can block someone. Your profile will be deleted from your list and you will not be able to continue your conversation. If someone’s profile disappears and you don’t delete it, they probably did.
