Whether it’s your first time using Tinder or you’ve been using it for a while, finding yourself without a profile to view can be a big surprise. Above all, if you find that the minutes, the hours, and if you are patient even the days pass, and you do not meet anyone. This is the time to make you think about what is happening, what is the problem and how you can solve it to fully enjoy the dating app and meet people.
On some occasions it will happen to you because you have swiped the profiles for so long that they have run out, on others because you are very demanding in your search criteria, although other situations may occur. We tell you what may be happening to you so that you can discover it for yourself.
You have already seen all the ones that match your filters
It may sound silly, but if you started the app the day before or a few hours ago, you’ve been checking out the people you were interested in and the ones you weren’t until they were exhausted , there may not be any new profiles around you. In this case, all you can do is wait for new people to match your search criteria. Well, not only this, you can also change your filters.
To do so, you will have to tap on the profile icon and select settings. In the Discovery Settings you will have to make some changes. You can increase the age range to people who are older or younger than you already are or you can even increase the distance to see people who are a little further away. You decide what interests you the most or you can make both changes to see if you find new profiles of your interest. You can also disable the option to show me only people in this range if you have enabled it.
It may also be that your filters are so limited that there is no one to comply with them, something that is complicated but can happen. Sometimes we can become so demanding in our search that we miss the possibility of finding people who can fit into our lives.
If it still doesn’t go, sign out and sign back in for the setting changes to take effect correctly.
You have denied Tinder access to your location
In order to use the service, you have to grant it access to know your location , at least while you are using it. Therefore, if you want it to work well you will have to give it these permissions. On Android you can access it from your phone’s Settings, in Applications, Tinder, Permissions and Location. On iOS, you just have to give settings, Tinder and Location.
Your tab is hidden
You may not find anyone because you have your file hidden, which means that no one can see you, but you cannot see new people either. If this message appears on the screen, click Activate discovery and nearby people will begin to appear. You can also change this option from the settings in your profile, clicking Show me on Tinder at the bottom of the page.
You have problems with the app
It may be that in reality your filters are fine and there are people who enter your filters, but what happens is that your Internet connection is not working well. Therefore, try to check if it works with other applications, if it goes fast enough and if not, restart the router or talk to your operator.
It also doesn’t hurt to make sure you have the latest version of Tinder or to try reinstalling the application if you think it’s wrong. Before that, you can try restarting your mobile to see if there is any temporary problem that can be solved like this.
If none of this works
If none of this makes it possible for you to view Tinder profiles, and you have tried a few hours or even a few days without success, it is best to contact the application so that it can answer your questions and tell you what may be happening specifically . Send an email to security@gotinder.com explaining what is happening and they will respond to you as soon as possible. In addition, from the app itself, in Settings, you can scroll down until you reach the Contact Us and Help section for assistance.
