How Long Does the Selfie Review Take on Tinder?

The selfie review on Tinder typically takes a few minutes to a couple of hours. In rare cases, it may extend to 2-3 days. If the review is delayed beyond this timeframe, contacting Tinder support can help resolve the issue.

Difference Between a Tinder Account Under Review and a Selfie Under Review

Tinder Account Under Review:

• Context: “Your account is under review” on Tinder means that your entire account is being checked to ensure it complies with Tinder's terms of use and community guidelines.
• Purpose: The review process verifies that you haven't engaged in activities that violate Tinder’s rules, such as inappropriate behavior, harassment, or using fake profiles.
• Impact: During this period, your account will be paused and inaccessible until it is verified that no violations have occurred.

Selfie Under Review:

• Context: A selfie under review specifically focuses on verifying the authenticity of your profile photos.
• Purpose: This ensures that the photos uploaded are genuinely yours and not images of someone else, maintaining the platform's integrity and trustworthiness.
• Impact: While the review is in progress, your ability to interact on the platform may be temporarily limited, but your account remains active.
