How to find out if someone is on tinder? This is one of the most common questions which arises in your mind if you don’t trust your partner. So, is he/ she on tinder?

Online dating comes with many pros and cons. While it is a great platform to find someone if you don’t go out much; it is also a great platform to cheat on your partner.

As per the data analysed by GlobalWebIndex, it was found that 42% of users on Tinder were already in a relationship and 30% were married. While Tinder falsified the data by stating that only 1.7% of Tinder users are married, the truth definitely lies in between.

So, is there a way on how to find out if someone is on Tinder? How to search someone on Tinder? Let us find out through today’s blog post!

How to Find Out if Someone is on Tinder?

Now there are two options to find out if someone is on Tinder: by making a Tinder account or without it.

Let us look at some of the easiest and most reliable ways on how to check if someone is on Tinder:

How to Find Out if Someone is on Tinder With an account

Make your Own Profile

The very basic way to find out if someone is on Tinder is to make your own profile. Download Tinder app and make a fresh account. Try to keep in mind the following things while creating a Tinder account:

  • Remember to set your gender opposite to the person you want to look for. Also, if he is a man, set your “I am looking for” to men and vice versa.
  • Set your location as per the location of the person you are looking for. If he/ she lives close by, keep the location distance as minimum as possible (1 mile). This can increase the chances of finding the person on Tinder.
  • Make sure to swipe left the other profiles and not right. Swiping right on every profile can lead you to the Tinder rate limit after which you cannot swipe right for a certain period of time.

Use a Fake Facebook Profile

Another wise method which you can use to find out if someone is on Tinder is to create a fake profile. For this, the first step is to create a fake Facebook profile and use it to create a Tinder account.

If possible, you can use some good pictures to get matches. That way, you may match with the person if he/she is on tinder and try to chat with them to find out if they are cheating on you!

Check if they Updated the Profile or Unmatched You

If you both have met on Tinder and decided to take it forward, you might be wondering if they are still using Tinder. Well, there is no exact way to find out if someone is active on Tinder or not. However, you can use some of your intelligence to find out if they have used Tinder recently.

Find out if they have unmatched you on Tinder. If you cannot find their text on Tinder, it is quite possible that they revisited the account and unmatched you.

Moreover, you can also check if they updated their picture or bio recently (which you can find in “your matches” tab). If they have, you know better!

How to Find Out if Someone is on Tinder Without an account

Use Your Friend’s Tinder

If you don’t want to make your own profile, use your friend’s Tinder account and see if you can find them. Ask your friends or known who are on Tinder if they have seen that person on Tinder.

Check Their Email

When we make a profile on Tinder, we get a lot of emails from Tinder regularly. So and so much that it is quite difficult to delete it all at once.

Moreover, many people don’t even notice this side of the story. So, try to check their emails (including social and promotions tags), if you find any emails from Tinder, this means they are on Tinder.

Check for App on their Phone

One of the simplest yet assured ways on how to find if someone is on Tinder is to check their phones for the installed applications. If they have the Tinder installed on their phone, it is quite obvious!

However, some people also use Tinder through the web so you might need to figure that out too!

Check their Updated Location

One of the things which are mandatory while using Tinder and which nobody can abstain from is the updated location. Tinder uses location as a compulsory feature to find out people nearby you.

Whenever a person opens their Tinder account, their location gets connected to the app and updates. Hence, check their recent location. If it is updated, it might be possible they are on Tinder.

Use Paid Services

I don’t want to give you this option but if you are sure that something fishy is going on with your partner and if neither of the above ways works out for you, try for a paid service.

There are an ample number of paid services like cheat buster available online where you can pay a little amount as fee and find out if someone is on Tinder.

Ask them

The most obvious and honest method to find out if someone is on tinder is to be upfront about it and ask them. This may or may not hurt them but it will definitely save your relationship from the damage which can occur from spying upon them.

The main foundation of every relationship is trust. However, if you can smell some infidelity in your partner, getting sure won’t hurt.
