How does Tinder work?

Tinder is a very easy-to-use online application, it puts you in contact with people who match your compatibility criteria, and who are in a perimeter close to your location. It is mainly used by young people between 18 and 30 years old.

To start, you must download the application Tinder Gold Apk on your mobile phone, you can then register by entering your phone number, or simply connect to the application via your Facebook account. We advise you to opt for the 2nd option because it allows Tinder to have access to your information as well as your list of friends; This will make it easier for you to find profiles compatible with yours.

When a profile is offered to you, you can swipe to the right or press the green heart. If the attraction is mutual, Tinder will send you a notification and offer to send a message to the person; if you are not interested, you just have to swipe to the left or press the red cross. Finally, if a user becomes too heavy, you have the option of blocking them at any time.

Free or paid Tinder, what are the differences?

Tinder offers various features in free or paid mode, for example, if you really like a profile, you can use the super like option by swiping up, or by tapping towards the blue shooting star. In paid mode, the super like is unlimited, unlike the free mode where it is only available once every 12 hours.

For this reason, the free mode is quite frustrating because the use of the super liker is essential if we want to play regularly. However, it is still perfectly possible to use Tinder for free ... provided you use the right techniques and arm yourself with patience!
