I was 4000 miles away, and the app 'scanned my location', yet potential Tinder matches from my previous location were still popping up.

I occasionally experienced delays receiving messages, as well as a skewed interface in some chat windows after the last OS update, but opening and closing the chat usually solves the problem.Īnother curiosity was the backlog of people I would get when travelling. The chat icon in the top right hand corner of the screen lets you access your matches and chats. From here, you can also change Tinder's settings, including the maximum distance of suggested matches, as well as age range and sexual preference. You can change which images appear, but only to other photos from your Facebook account, by going to your profile, accessible through the menu located in the top left hand corner of the app. Simply log in with your Facebook account, and the app automatically imports up to 6 of your profile images. Getting started with Tinder is really easy.

The first one takes a lot of time, the second one may net incorrect results, but if you have enough. The best part, however, is that if you swipe yes, and the other person swipes no, they'll never know. There are two ways to search out a Tinder account. If you swipe yes, and the other person does too, you'll get a notification, and that person will be added to your Tinder matches so that you can message them, if you so desire. Tapping on someone's photo lets you scroll through the rest of their images, as well as giving you information about any mutual friends or shared Facebook interests. The only problem? If you're swiping through too quickly and accidentally swipe 'no' to someone you wanted to swipe 'yes' to, there's no way of getting that match back. Once the list populates, you can swipe through and 'like' or 'dislike' someone by either swiping right or left, or by cliking the heart or the 'x' buttons. Tinder's home screen scans your location for people anywhere from 1 to 100 miles away.
