Question 1. How does Tinder work to help you find your Mr./Ms. Right?
As is known to all, Tinder is an online dating app that matches users based on their physical attraction to each other. Before using Tinder, you need to set up specific requirements to find your ideal date, such as the age range, gender, and location. Then, based on Tinder’s unique algorithm, those who meet your special criteria will be sent right to your Tinder account. If you like someone and want to communicate with him/her further, you swipe right. Conversely, if you’re not interested in someone, you swipe left. If both you and your possible date show interest in each other, Tinder gives you a chance to chat privately so that you can decide whether you want to take things further.
Therefore, to finally find your Mr./Ms. Right on Tinder, you should correctly provide your profile, upload suitable images and determine your favors about your dates.
Question 2. How to get verified on Tinder in a secure way?
Long ago, it was accessible to verify a Tinder account through offering a Facebook account to Tinder. However, many fake profiles appeared on Tinder because of it, all of which are doing bad things that violate Tinder’s Community Guidelines.
With Tinder’s increased focus on users’ authenticity, the company now only allows users to verify their accounts by providing their phone numbers. Otherwise, you can never successfully use Tinder. However, no one can guarantee all the users on Tinder are “normal” with an aim to find Mr./Ms. Right. After all, Tinder creepies have been reported who just strive to steal other users’ privacy. Moreover, it’s not secure to use Tinder with your private phone number because it’s closely linked with your close friends or family and it’s a little inconvenient to meet them on Tinder.
If you want to register your account in a safe and private way, it is recommended that you provide Tinder with a fake number which is able to receive Tinder’s verification message.
Question 3. Can I search dates on Tinder without registering?
No.
Some people may be afraid that once they sign up for a Tinder account with their real number, they will easily be found by those who know them, which is obviously embarrassing. That is why many people will ask whether they can search dates on Tinder without registering an account. However, the fact is, you have to have an account, whether it is verified by a real number or a fake one.
Question 4. Can Tinder be still used without a phone number or Facebook account?
No.
Asking every user to provide a number is now the most common measure used by online services like Tinder in order to ensure users’ authenticity and security. However, you can use Tinder without your real number, as you can provide Tinder with a fake one.
Question 5. Is it necessary to use a dedicated phone number for Tinder?
For those who want to use Tinder securely, it is necessary to use a dedicated number to verify the account to make sure that they are safe. It is worth mentioning that not only Tinder but almost all online services require a dedicated number of every user due to safety reasons.
Question 6. Can I have two Tinder accounts?
Although it is not recommended to have two Tinder accounts at the same time as it is very time-consuming and inconvenient and tends to make people think about some vicious aims, theoretically it is possible for people to have two Tinder accounts at the same times. As you know, one number corresponds to one account. Therefore, as long as you have multiple numbers, you can register multiple accounts on Tinder as you expect.
Question 7. Can teens use Tinder?
No.
Since Tinder is an online dating app for adults, according to Tinder’s Community Guidelines, all minors are forbidden to use Tinder. That is to say, every user must be 18 years old or older. So do make sure that you’re not under 18 before registering a Tinder account.
Question 8. What possibly leads my account to be banned by Tinder?
Tinder team bans users’ accounts when it detects abnormal account activity violating its Terms of Use or Community Guidelines, as the team always place user safety at top of mind. Your account may be banned by
Tinder because you:
- Register Tinder with a fake profile.
- Use inappropriate language or share inappropriate photos when chatting on Tinder.
- Perform or precipitate illegal activities.
- Get reported repeatedly by others.
- Are under 18 years old.
Question 9. Can I get my Tinder account unbanned back?
It should be noted that those banned accounts can NEVER be recovered in any way. If you have not made a serious mistake when using Tinder and feel necessary to use the original account, you can contact Tinder’s customer support for help. If you do violate one or more community guidelines, it is impossible to get your account back, and you can only create a new account. Don’t perform innocent as your Tinder account has been banned due to your inappropriate behaviors. You must have known the line when you cross it.
Question 10. Should I pay for Tinder?
You can use Tinder without any expense. But if you want to enjoy extra services like filtering height, education and politics, etc. or rematch with an accidental missed match, you can opt-in to Tinder’s premium plan—Tinder Gold for $41/mo.
