How to know someone’s on Tinder? Find out with or without an account

A partner, or just anyone?

You’re curious, you’re doubting, or you’re seeking… The main question is?

“How to find out if someone is on Tinder?”

Well, Tinder has over 75 million users – It is one of the apps that doesn’t need any introduction or explanation when its name is mentioned.

Unlike most apps or social media, you cannot search for a person on Tinder, nor see the last time they’ve been active. However, some ways to let you know if a person has been using Tinder.

One of the quick ways to find out if someone has a Tinder profile is to complete the form below:

Enter their name:

Enter their age:

Search Tinder!

Things you want to consider:

Having a Tinder account can make it a lot easier to check if someone’s on Tinder, or know someone’s active on Tinder.

Or if you know someone that has a Tinder account can be just as helpful, because if you’re close with one another, they can help you with knowing if your person, whoever it is that you’re trying to find out, is on Tinder, or has been active on Tinder.

1. Your relation with the person.

Can make it a lot easier if you have good communication with one another since you can ask them, or if close enough, see them often using the app or other signs which I’ll discuss further in this article.

Now, let’s see the hows and the whats and whatever you need to know that someone has a Tinder profile!

2. Tinder gives you the option to connect your contact list with your Tinder account –  which allows you to block someone you’d like to avoid seeing on Tinder.

Now in this case you can get a fake Tinder number to solve this problem if you know they (whoever they are) would do this to avoid seeing you/you seeing them.

3. You can use Tinder and still be invisible.

Tinder has the option to turn off the “show me on Tinder” (which you’ll find in the settings). It allows you to chat with your matches, and the people you liked to see you, but you will not be shown to other people, nor other people will be shown to you.

If they’re using this [show me on Tinder], then the only way to know if they’re on Tinder is by asking them or seeing the app on their phone.

What indicates that a person is active on Tinder? – How to know exactly if someone is active on Tinder?

There is no way to know the last time someone was active on Tinder, however, the green dot (recently active) lets you know that someone was active within 24 hours.

We recommend using SocialCatfish, it always guarantees to find out the person you are looking for.

There are numerous ways through which you can tell if someone is active on Tinder. That means, yes, you can tell if a person is active on the app or not.

Before you get to know that they’re on Tinder you must know what indicates that they’re active. Here’s what indicates that a person is active on Tinder:

1. Update of location
2. Recently active status
3. Update of profile (pictures, bio, anthem)

Tinder doesn’t show you profiles that haven’t been active for more than around a week (it’s a matter of days). However, Tinder might also show inactive profiles/users, which usually appear by the time your swiping stack is almost empty.

Here are 3 ways to know if someone is active on Tinder:

1. Update of Location

The miles/kilometers keep changing depending on where they change location from time to time. If inactive on Tinder, the location on the profile doesn’t change because Tinder picks up your location only when active on Tinder.

If you’re not using Tinder, then the location on your profile won’t be updated.

2. Recently Active Status (green dot)

You can see someone is active on Tinder by checking the green dot on their profile, next to which “recently active” is written – it means they’ve been active in the last 24 hours; which does not mean that they’re online at the moment.

All Tinder users can choose whether they want to have the recently active status or not.

Keep in mind: If the person you’re looking for chooses to not have the green dot on their profile, then it won’t appear on their profile even if they’re active.

3. Update of profile

You notice they’ve updated their profile – they’ve changed something. It could be that they put a new/different bio from the last time you saw their profile.

Or, a new profile picture for which you know has been taken recently, or just compare it to their social media, and you’ll notice dates on certain pictures if they’re the same (on the rest of social media, and Tinder). You can always reverse Tinder Image Search Someone.

Perhaps they even put a new anthem on their profile.

Who are you looking for? – Knowing someone’s on Tinder

We will see if they have a Tinder profile, but first I’ll have to specify a few cases since if I only explain generally, you can miss a lot of things afterward.

We recommend using SocialCatfish, it always guarantees to find out the person you are looking for.

To be more clear: we will know more about how to find out if your spouse is on Tinder, but we will also know more about how to find out if a person you like a lot is on Tinder.

These are two different cases, and we cannot put them into one explanation. Hence you will find ways to know someone on Tinder for each case specifically.

Your partner – How to tell your partner/spouse is on Tinder?

The questions for this part? “How can I see if my boyfriend/husband is on Tinder?”, “How to find out if my girlfriend/wife is on Tinder?”, etc.

1. If you have an account on Tinder, swipe until you find them.
2. If both of you have your Tinder accounts, see if they’re active or not.
3. If you don’t have a Tinder account, know through a friend, cheatbust, ask them, or look at their Facebook profile.

I will be explaining each of them in detail. Some of these ways to know your partner is on Tinder are cheap, some of the cost. Let’s find out together, shall we?

If you already have an account on Tinder

You can swipe left until you find their profile.

If you don’t find their profile by yourself for whatever reason, a friend of yours that has Tinder can share your partner’s profile with you (of course if they find it).

If both of you have your Tinder accounts but “stopped using them”

It drives you crazy – doubting what they told you.

If this is your case, it is pretty simple. You just log in to your account and see their profile.

If you notice a different bio, a different picture you know to be more recent, or that green dot on their status activity, you know they’ve been on Tinder.

On the other hand, if you don’t see them on your matches list anymore, they either deleted their Tinder account completely, or they unmatched you.

If you don’t have an account at all on Tinder – How to know someone’s on Tinder, without an account?

So, not having a Tinder account is your case. That shouldn’t be much of a problem since you can find people on Tinder without signing up, or without joining Tinder.

How to know someone’s on Tinder without joining Tinder?

1. Ask your partner straightforwardly.
2. Through cheaterbust – costs $9.99.
3. Find out through a friend – it’s free.
4. Look at their Facebook profile – also free.

The first method is asking your partner whether they’re on Tinder or not – another free way to find out.

Romantic relationships are healthy when built upon trust, and genuine communication. I know it is easier said than done, but I’d highly suggest you take the courage and just ask them: “Are you on Tinder?”

If they tell you they’re not, and you still have doubt whether they told you the truth or not, you can try other methods.

The second method is Cheaterbust – it is not free, but it shows super accurate results anywhere in the world, plus you don’t need an account to find the person you’re looking for.

You just have to assume the name/nickname they used on their profile, you have to write the age and the location where you think they last used Tinder, and you’re good to go!

The third method: figuring out someone’s on Tinder is through a friend –  it’s free unless your friend asks you to pay them.

It is possible through a friend or just someone you know that has a Tinder account and has the potential to see your partner when swiping. They get a screenshot or send you the link to their profile.

We recommend using SocialCatfish, it always guarantees to find out the person you to see if it's on Tinder.

Or let’s say you meet up, and you can go through profiles together and see if you can find your person on Tinder.

The fourth method: Consider looking at their Facebook profile – You cannot find out if someone is on Tinder through Facebook unless they’ve got their Tinder account connected to their Facebook, and the Tinder app is visible in their account (friends/public can see that they’ve got Tinder connected to their Facebook).

Someone, you liked a lot on Tinder – Are they still active?

How to know if someone uses Tinder? This is a bit of a complicated case. I’m talking about those who had good talks on Tinder, they liked the person a lot, and perhaps exchanged socials, but are still curious if they’re active on Tinder.

If they stop using Tinder, their location will stay just the same as it was, and their pictures, bio, and everything will stay still. However if they told you they deactivated, and these(the location, pictures, bio, anthem) are changing, they lied.

I mentioned what indicates that a person is active on Tinder earlier in the article.

Now, if you’re not seeing them in your matches anymore, it can mean two things:

1. They deleted their account.
2. They unmatched you.

You can find out which is which through the three methods I mentioned above.

Or just anyone (i.e you’re curious)

Whatever your case is, you’re curious, and I’ll put this one as simple as possible:

1. If you have a Tinder account – keep swiping until you find them.
2. If you don’t have a Tinder account – use cheaterbust. Or the other methods mentioned above.

That’s about it.

How to find out when a Tinder account was created?

Since you cannot see how long someone has been on Tinder, there’s a way to find out when this person created their Tinder account.

If this person is your partner, you can check out their phone. I know, it’s not genuine but it can work.

Tinder sends an SMS verification code each time you log in on Tinder, including the first time you register on Tinder.

If your partner hasn’t deleted those Tinder SMS verification codes from their phone, you can find out when they created their Tinder account.

Simply scroll to the earliest message, look at the date, and there you have it!

At the moment, this and asking the person are the only methods to find out when a Tinder account was created.

Until something more specific comes out, stay safe!

Sincerely,

Liam
