1. No Facebook account required

When Tinder was launched in 2012, it was necessary to have a Facebook account to create a profile on the relationship app. Despite not posting on the social network or making big disclosures about the user, some people felt uncomfortable, because the integration allows them to view friends and pages of common interest. In addition, those who did not use the social network were unable to use the program and meet new people.

However, after an update, the app started to allow the registration to be made with a valid phone number, through which the interested party receives a confirmation code. Then, just inform an email for the account recovery and fill in the data traditionally obtained by Facebook.

2. You can be invisible

If the user no longer wants to have his profile viewed by other people, he can hide it. Despite avoiding new likes, the Show Me on Tinder feature available in Settings, does not hide the account of those with whom there were matches, and also allows you to exchange messages with them.

With Tinder, you can help a friend find a match. If a user finds a profile that does not match theirs, but has everything to do with that of someone they know, they can easily share through different apps.

The link leads to the web version of the service, that is, it is not necessary that the other person has Tinder installed on the smartphone to see it.

4. Integration with other services

One way to increase the chances of getting good matches is to provide other users with information to help them discover common points of interest. In order to facilitate this interaction, the app features integration with Instagram and Spotify. Those who have an account on the social network can show more of their lifestyle by allowing the display of the latest photos posted on the dating app. The alternative also applies to private accounts. However, if the interested party wants to see more images, they must request permission directly on Instagram.

In the music streaming service, the most played artists in the playlist are displayed, in addition to those in common between profiles. But those who do not use Spotify do not need to feel excluded: Tinder allows you to include music that represents you and, thus, increase the chances of starting a conversation. After combining, each new photo posted or change in favorite artists and songs appears in the feed, a feature launched by the application in late 2017. To activate the approach with both apps, simply access the profile editing settings.

5. No match needs to be eternal

Those who already liked a profile by mistake and had an unwanted combination, certainly wanted to reverse the situation. The same occurs with those who, during the chat, notice little affinity. To undo the match, simply access the conversation with the profile in question, click on the "…" icon at the top right and select the "Uncombine" option.

However, if no match needs to be eternal, we cannot say the same for a unmatch. When requesting to unmatch with someone, it is no longer possible to undo the action. Thus, their profiles will no longer appear to each other, and they can no longer exchange messages. Except in case one of the two deletes the account on Tinder and redo it later.
