Tinder is one of those applications that have been successful over the years. If you want to know how this dating software works and what it offers you, you have come at the right time, since we are going to delve into these topics.
Something that many people who are new to Tinder agree on is that it is not exactly an intuitive app, so it needs a period of adaptation to understand everything it offers.
Currently Tinder is the number one app for this type of content, quite far from the second, basing its success on something clear such as the number of users who have an account on this software, many of whom even pay to have it .
Even so, there are still many users who don’t quite trust this type of app, so Tinder’s main mission in the coming years is to gain trust and try to convince all those who would be willing to enter, but are still reluctant. .
Obviously, the last step is that all those who enter for free end up acquiring, in some way, some of the payment options that exist within Tinder, which provide substantial advantages when it comes to working with the system.
But before all that, the first thing is to know exactly what Tinder is and how it works, and then decide if it is what we are looking for or, on the contrary, it is not a service that we like.
Get into Tinder
As usual, the first thing we will have to do to enter Tinder is to download the application from our mobile.
It is the same if we have an Android phone or if what we have is an iPhone, since there is the possibility of installation in both cases.
As soon as we open Tinder, the first thing it will ask us is to link our Facebook account or phone number. It is you who must choose which of the two options you want.
After this we will create our Tinder Profile by entering data such as the email, name, age and even put a photo.
Then we can put a description of ourselves of 499 characters and, next, what is our profession. In this way we will already be registered.
How does Tinder work?
Now we are going to see how Tinder works and its system so that the software knows who you like and who you don’t.
Once we are inside the application, they appear as some cards in which we can see the name, age and photo of the people who are in our city or area.
From now on, depending on the movements you make on the screen, this is how one thing or another is interpreted, that is, if we slide to the right we give it a Likeif we do it towards the left is a dislike and if we slide upwards we talk about a Super Like.
If the situation arises where you like a person and they also like you, that is called a Matchwhich means that you can talk in a private chat.
We should not confuse it with a Super Like that what it causes is the other person receives a notification, but they will not be able to know who gave them one until they coincide naturally.
Other information that you should know is that we do not have unlimited likes, but only a few (a few) can be given per day, as long as we are in the normal version of Tinder.
What if I want to pay?
If you want to know how paying Tinder works, you should know that there are three possibilities as they are Tinder Gold, Tinder Plus and Tinder Platinum.
