Let’s get this out of the way. If you think of dating apps, you think of Tinder. If you tell someone you’re on a dating app, they’ll think it’s Tinder. They pioneered the now-ubiquitous swipe feature, revolutionized the world of online dating, and boast 1.6 billion swipes per day. What started as a dating app has grown into one of the largest matchmakers in the world.
Even if you’re new to online dating, you probably know that when you’re sent a series of photos, you swipe right if you like what you see, and swipe left if you don’t. When you both express interest in each other, you’ll receive a matching notification. It’s a basic formula that’s been copied a lot and made “swiping” part of the dating vernacular.

The barrier to entry for setting up a profile is low, so you’re essentially deciding whether to interact with someone based on their profile picture and quote. office, so, yes, you can see, the main goal for most users is how to get laid – but hey, we all know those couples who met on Tinder and stayed together for years. It’s fast, it’s easy, and if there’s one app that even the shyest and most skeptical of people use, it’s Tinder.
It’s free for general use, but Tinder does offer upgrades in the form of Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, and Tinder Platinum. These include additional features like undoing a left swipe (blessing), sending a “Super Like” to the people you’re with, and more real Come in, see which users have liked your profile, and even message someone before you match.
