There are now many dating apps, but one of the most popular remains Tinder. What do you need to know about the dating app and where to start?
What is Tinder?
The app everyone is still talking about when it comes to online dating: Tinder. The concept of Tinder is actually very simple, you can compare it with the well-known ‘Hot or Not’ games.
Tinder offers a simple and accessible way to meet new people: the app searches so-called Tinderers in your area, shows you photos and offers you the choice to reject or approve the person. If you approve each other, then you have a match! With a match you are offered the choice to start a conversation immediately.
An additional advantage is that the other Tinderer will not be notified of your approval, only if he also approves you. So you don’t have to be afraid of a harsh rejection.
How Tinder works
You can use Tinder via your Facebook account. Tinder uses the information from your Facebook profile, including your age, friends and shared interests. If you both liked Techzle on Facebook, this will be visible. This also applies to friendships, only if you do not have mutual friends the friends are also not visible to your admirer. It is also possible to create an account with a mobile number.
Once you have created an account, the app will immediately look for possible matches in your area. This is done by means of GPS.
You can now start right away with the approval of your possible matches, or you can first adjust your profile and app settings. Tap the Tinder logo in the app for the options.
Adjust profile
By pressing profile you can see how other people see you on Tinder. Not entirely to your liking? Then click at the top right to go to the settings. Here you can adjust the gender settings, choose photos and write a piece about yourself.
App settings
To adjust your search results, go to app settings. Here you can indicate whether you are looking for men or women, in what age category and within what distance. You also have the option to delete your account here.
