Online dating services are all the rage and Tinder is currently leading the pack. With its vast number of users and intuitive app, this service has established itself as a leader in the lucrative online dating industry. Tinder allows you to create a profile on it and start meeting people by swiping through other profiles registered on the app, for which contact will be enabled in the event of a match .
Knowing if someone has or is on Tinder has become a very common question, especially because having a profile on this type of service is frequently associated with infidelity and other behaviors. However, this is not always the case; sometimes you may simply be curious to find out if any of your friends, family, acquaintances (or a crush 😉 ) have a profile on this application… Whatever the case, if you want to know about a person’s digital adventures, here at MundoCuentas we will show you some methods.

Is there a concrete and direct way to know if someone has Tinder?
First, we have to be honest with you: there is no direct way to know exactly if someone is on Tinder. What there are are tricks and tips that will help you find out if a person is or isn’t on the app, but it’s still not guaranteed that you’ll find that person; but if curiosity has you restless, it’s worth trying out the tricks!
Why do we say that it is not possible to know this information quickly? As you can see, Tinder is a dating app and generally this type of service takes the privacy of its users very seriously, this is because many of them simply do not want everyone to know that they are listed on a social network to meet people. Knowing this information directly would only be possible if Tinder had this information public and that is not the case.
Other services such as POF or Badoo, to name a few, create a public profile for their users and these can be found on Google with a simple search, but this is not the case with Tinder, which keeps user profiles completely confidential until they are found using the application.
Finding someone on Tinder with a profile
The first and perhaps most effective way is to create a Tinder account to try to find that person through the geolocation services that this application works with.
- Create a Tinder accountand register a profile on it . It’s up to you whether it’s a real profile or a fake one (the more eye-catching, the better!). Keep in mind that a fake profile is against Tinder’s policies. Another option is to use someone else’s profile, a friend.
- Get as close as possibleto the person you want to spot and keep in mind an approximate distance . If you are in the same city, in the same neighborhood or even in the same building, the chances of finding the person will increase.
- Go to Tinder settingsand assign a maximum distance based on the information you have. The minimum you can assign is 2 kilometers, which will increase your chances, but you must be sure that this is the maximum distance the person could meet at.
- Set the person’s age. Do you know the age of the user you want to discover? In Settings, under Age range , you can assign a specific age. If you know this information about the person, you can decide to search only for people who are, for example, 24 years old.
- Go to the main section of Tinder, where the profiles to swipe appear
- Swipe through the users until you find the person you’re looking for. Don’t go too fast or you might overdo it. We recommend hitting the X instead of the “Like” button, as there are limits to the number of likes in the free version.
With this method, if the user is nearby and you have assigned specific data such as a very approximate age range, your chances of finding the person will be almost 100%. If you have not found someone through this method despite having swiped through all the profiles, it may be due to these reasons :
- The person is located at a distance greaterthan the maximum chosen in the discovery settings.
- The person assigned a different age and it doesn’t match the range you’ve set in discovery settings.
- The person may have a Tinder account, but they have deactivated it or hidden their profile. This indicates that they are not currently using the app, but they could still be using the chat feature with their past matches .
- Another possible reason is that this person is paying for Tinder Gold. This paid version of Tinder allows for more privacy thanks to the option to show your profile only to people you’ve liked; this would prevent it from being seen by other people. Tinder Gold also allows you to change your current location without having to be there; for example, you could swipe between profiles from other cities.
- The person simply does not currently have a Tinder account.
As you can see, this is just a way to approach the person and you won’t know for sure if they are actually using the app.
Search profiles by paying for Tinder Gold
Another option you have that could increase your chances is to pay for Tinder Gold. What can you do with Tinder Gold to find out if a person has Tinder? Let’s see:
- You will be able to assign the location you want: this is ideal if you are looking for a person from another city and you cannot travel there.
- You will be able to see who has liked you, and the person you are looking for could be on that list.
- You can get the person’s attention by boosting your profile, this is ideal if what you are looking for is to receive a like from that person.
Tinder Gold is simply a more advantageous option than the free Tinder, however, you will only have a better chance of finding the person, but you will also not be sure if the person is currently using Tinder or not.
Find out if someone has Tinder via cell phone
What if you want to find out if that person had Tinder in the past? If you have access to the phone on which Tinder was installed, you can find out in the following ways:
- Checking if there are any Tinder notifications in your email inbox. To do this, simply enter the word “Tinder” in the search engine.
- If you are using an Android device, go to the Google Play Store, search for Tinder and go to the app’s page. If it is possible to rate the app, it means that it was installed in the past, otherwise it would not be possible to rate it.
- If you’re using an iOS devicelike an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, go to the App Store and search for “Tinder.” Typically, apps are downloaded by hitting the “Download” button, but if you see a cloud icon with an arrow pointing down instead, that means the app has been downloaded in the past.
- Via the Facebook app: If the person was logged into Tinder using Facebook, you can find out from the Facebook app. Go to Settings, then under Security, go to Apps and Websites, then Logged in with Facebook. If Tinder is listed, the person may have an active or inactive Tinder account.
These methods do allow you to know for sure if a person used Tinder in the past, however, it implies having access to the person’s cell phone and even violating their privacy… Be very careful!
Cheaterbuster: find out without being registered
There is a service called Cheaterbuster that will let you know if a person is on Tinder without having to create an account on the service. This service is private and has no relation to Tinder, however, it is not free as it costs $7.49 for 3 searches. This service uses the name and age of the person you are looking for, gender, and approximate location to find them. You also need some knowledge of English, however, it is a very easy service to use.
- Go to cheaterbuster.net
- In step 1, enter only the person’s name.
- Enter the age in the His / Her agebox .
- In Gender, choose Male if you are a man, Female if you are a woman.
- Mark on the map the approximate location of the user you are looking for.
- Enter your email and a password to have an account in the service.
- Press the See search resultsbutton and proceed to pay for the service.
- Please wait for the email with the update regarding the search.
We don’t know exactly how this service works, but according to the website itself, what they do is search through all the profiles of the location provided for one that best matches the information you have provided.
Ask the person
As a last resort, although it may be difficult, there is the option of asking the person directly. Perhaps this is something that is impossible for many, but it is worth trying, right?
