If Tinder seems like the kind of app that will help you find your perfect dating opportunities, then you’ll be pleased to know that it is incredibly simple to register for Tinder too, simply:

2.You will then need to press log in with your phone number.
3.Then, fill out some profile info. This can be changed and altered at a later date but if you want to start matching as soon as possible, then creating a full profile early on will help.
4.You then need to allow all the required permissions which do include access to your Facebook.

There are little to no search features for Tinder as it is based on locality and the profiles you’re presented with appear randomized. Some, evidently, are not as they may have premium plans that make their profile more prominent, but you won’t be able to physically search profiles.
If you upgrade to the paid plans, then you’re giving more options based on the location of the singles you’re interacting with. Other than that, there are limited options for specifically searching for people, but you will be able to search within your city.
Messaging options only appear once you have a mutual match with another single and the option to interact with that person will be presented to you when you have matched with one another.
There are multiple options for whether you want to hide your account or delete it permanently. We have outlined both processes below.
Hiding Your Account
To hide your account from other people all you must do is turn Discover off. Simply tap your profile picture and go to settings, then find Discovery and turn it off.
Deleting Your Account
When you’re deleting your account, you will have to do it directly through the app as you would if you were hiding your account. Therefore, the app still needs to be downloaded on your phone. Similarly to hiding your account you need to tap your profile icon, go to settings and then scroll down until you find the option that says, “delete account”. You should then see a message that says your account has been successfully deleted.
So, if you’re looking for a portable and effective way to meet new people, then Tinder is probably the perfect option for you. However, if you’re looking for something serious where you’re able to get to know someone truly compatible on a deeper level, then this may not be the platform for you. That doesn’t mean you’re unlikely to find someone who you can enter a serious relationship with, but many members are using Tinder to find casual relationships. Alternatively, it is wholly dependent on your own experience and what you think may be right for you. If you think what we have described is right for you, then go ahead and try it. You never know who may be in your area and ready to enter a relationship that is right for you. Especially as the platform is completely free, you will be able to try it out and see who is in your area before committing.
