Though it wasn’t the first dating app, Tinder was the one that made “swipe right” a cultural phenomenon. If you swipe right on someone’s profile and they do the same for you, it’s a match! And either of you can start a conversation.
What we love: The app’s Explore section helps you find matches with similar interests. Tap cards with categories such as Foodies, Music Lovers, Gamers, Animal Parents or Social Causes to start swiping for like-minded potential partners.
Quick tip: A Tinder Boost rockets your profile near the top of the queue of your potential matches for 30 minutes. Get one per month with a Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold or Tinder Platinum subscription. And activity in the Tinder app spikes on Sunday afternoons – dive in during this peak time for quicker responses and more matches.
Meet the creator: Touting nearly 2 billion swipes a day across more than 190 countries, Tinder has helped countless couples connect.
