If you've been getting the “Excuse us for spacing out, we'll be right back” message on Tinder (with the dinosaur background), you're not alone.
It's been happening to many users recently.
The good news? You're not banned—just dealing with a temporary issue. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Check if Tinder is Down
Before troubleshooting, check if Tinder’s servers are experiencing an outage. You can do this using Downdetector. If the servers are down, you’ll just have to wait until they’re back up.
If Tinder keeps showing errors, you might be dealing with a Tinder “Oops, something went wrong” issue that needs troubleshooting.
2. Use the Tinder App Instead of a Browser
This error tends to appear more often when using Tinder on web browsers like Chrome or Safari. Switch to the Tinder app on your phone instead. If you must use a browser, avoid incognito mode.
If Tinder feels buggy, you may also notice that Tinder keeps showing the same profiles over and over.
3. Try a Different Device
If Tinder isn’t working on your phone, log in using another device—like a tablet or a friend’s phone. This helps determine if the issue is specific to your device.
4. Get a New Tinder Account with DatingZest
If the problem persists, creating a new Tinder account with a different phone number can help. DatingZest offers phone verification services, allowing you to sign up with a fresh number and bypass the issue completely.
If Tinder is still not working, your phone number might be blocked—here’s what to do if Tinder bans your phone.
5. Switch Internet Connections
Try changing from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa. If you’re using a VPN, turn it off and retry logging in.
6. Wait 24 Hours and Try Again
Sometimes, Tinder’s system needs time to resolve temporary issues. If all else fails, wait a day and then try again.
If you’ve been logging in repeatedly, you might also see an Oops! Too Many Attempts on Tinder error.
