Question

How can I tell if a person really liked me?

Community Answer

He or she would go out their way to talk to you, ask you for favors, start conversations, and hold conversations. It's just the actions of being genuine.

Question

How do I find the icon to chat on Tinder?

Community Answer

You cannot chat with anyone until it's a match (you have both swiped right on each other). When you have a match, on the discovery slide (where you see other people), tap the top right corner and you will be able to chat with your matches.

Question

Do I need to connect Tinder to my Facebook account each time I open it?

Community Answer

No. When you first connect Tinder to your Facebook account, it should give you the option of setting it as your default account. You can also click on the "keep me logged in" option. After you do that, you will only need to log into your Facebook account once in a while to confirm that it's you.

I have a Windows phone, how can I use Tinder?

In the Microsoft Store, search for "Timber". It's the same app, but with another name for MS phones.

Question

How do I swipe to the left?

Community Answer

Place your finger on the screen, dragging the tip of your finger across the screen of the phone until the image of the profile you are looking at has been 'swiped' away to the left and a new profile is now present.

Question

Can I send a message to someone that I have liked on Tinder?

Community Answer

Only if they have liked you back. Once both parties like each other, the app will notify you of a match and allow you to message one another.

Question

How can I retrieve all of my contacts and messages?

Community Answer

If they were saved on your sim, then all you need is the sim. Otherwise, if your phone is gone/broken and you don't have them backed up, sorry - no.
