What is Tinder?
Created in 2012 and present in 190 countries, Tinder was the dating app most downloaded in the world in the first half of 2021. Based on information such as name, photos and even videos, in addition to an age and location filter, you can swipe right if you are interested in someone and like that person, or to the left if the person didn't like it. If two people like each other, the long-awaited “match” takes place, and the couple can finally start a chat conversation.
Without providing the total number of active users, the Match group, owner of Tinder, reported only an increase in the number of subscribers in 2020, which reached its 10,8 million paying subscribers, among the three available categories: Tinder Plus (R$29,00), which allows unlimited likes, in addition to the possibility of returning to like that profile that you were interested in, but accidentally swiped to the left; tinder Gold (R$46,00), which allows you to see who liked you and Tinder Platinum (R$69,00), which allows you to send messages before the match and have priority messages and likes. In addition, all categories hide ads and allow likes with people even on the other side of the world.
Differences between hiding and deleting the profile
Spain was the second unranked country of people who spend more hours on the internet. In early 2021, a person spent about 10 hours online a day. All this time online combined with the pandemic and social distancing has caused a high in virtual dating, a way to find new personal relationships and share affection. However, if relying on Tinder to find the perfect match isn't right for you, you can take a break from your account or end it for good.
If you plan to use the dating app again at some point, or you don't seek to find more people, but you want to continue chatting with your matches and you prefer not to keep your profile available, you can hide your profile and it will not be able to be liked or found by other users. However, if this is a one-way ending, you're in a serious relationship, or you've even found your orange half, you can delete the profile. But be careful: with the deletion you will lose forever all your photos, information, messages and contacts.
