Tinder is such a popular dating app it brought on a whole new way of interacting with apps as well as an idiom. ‘Swipe left’ is a term used to denote dismissing an idea or person, a callback to Tinder’s user interface of swiping left when you’re not attracted to someone.

Swiping right, of course, means you are attracted to someone, and the swiping interface Tinder made popular has become fairly standard in other apps as well. While other dating apps relied on reading profiles, Tinder sparked the age of finding love via apps based on initial attraction.

We’ll tell you how Tinder works, how to use Tinder, what you need to do to get a Tinder login of your own, and which apps help you manage conversations and keep yourself safe while using the Tinder website.

What is Tinder

Launched in 2012 at a startup incubator, Tinder took only 2 years to reach one billion ‘swipes’ per day, a testament to its growing use. Because of its popularity, dating apps launched after Tinder also relied on the same method of visual attraction at the fore have sprung up and continue to dominate the dating app scene. It’s such a popular interface more traditional dating sites adopted it in response to TInder’s popularity, and many non-dating apps also utilize swiping to interact with items on the screen.

Its popularity lies in its ease of use, and anonymity. Users don’t know you’ve viewed their profile until you swipe right to indicate you’re interested. If that user also finds you attractive, they swipe right as well, and the two of you are able to chat and forge a more meaningful bond within the Tinder app.

Many prefer Tinder because of its chat component, which provides a layer of safety. You don’t have to give your real name to anyone, or provide personal details like a phone number or email. You’re free to chat, and meet, while completely controlling how much the other person knows about you.
