Tinder launched in 2012, and it's a social app that facilitates romantic communication between mutually interested users. If you're new to the dating scene and want to try Tinder, here's what you need to know. It sounds simple, but that gesture has catapulted online dating into mainstream norm, where now you'd be hard pressed to find a single person who hasn't at least tried using Tinder to find a date.
With a quick swipe to the left, you can reject them, or with a swipe to the right, you can 'like' them, and hopefully match and send them a message. These selfies are of real people located near you. Now, when looking for someone to ask out, you're literally swiping through an endless bucket of selfies that the app surfaces on your screen. I was 4000 miles away, and the app 'scanned my location', yet potential Tinder matches from my previous location were still popping up.But Tinder has taken this now-normal process and twisted it a little by adding one key gesture: swipes. I occasionally experienced delays receiving messages, as well as a skewed interface in some chat windows after the iOS 7 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 best part, however, is that if you swipe yes, and the other person swipes no, they'll never know. 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.
