Read our full review of Tinder Platinum.
Everybody’s heard of Tinder. The top-rated dating app pioneered the “swipe right for yes, left for no” concept and is now shorthand for whole online dating phenomenon. And while Tinder is technically a dating app, with longterm commitment in mind, its rep tends to attract people open to something a little more casual. That’s why it’s the go-to hookup app for anyone who fancies some casual sex without any heavy pressure to commit. In fact, a survey found that 70 percent of its users never meet even their matches in person. Many users come for the hookup but just distracted with the sexting.
Tinder’s setup process makes for super easy browsing without the hassle of creating an in-depth profile, so you don’t have to fill out all the compatibility-focused questions and can instead focus on the reason you’re really there: to find someone hot.
Paid memberships come with nice perks if you’re using the app specifically for sexting. With a Tinder Plus membership, you can choose to keep your profile info private until you like another user’s profile. With Tinder Gold, you can see who likes you before you swipe, plus you can swipe around the world. And with Tinder Platinum, you don’t even need to match with someone to message them, just slide right on into those DMs immediately.
Tinder is always rolling out new features such as “Modes“, which creates dedicated spaces to swipe based on your vibe, starting with “Double Date Mode” and “College Mode.” Tinder has also tested a new AI matching feature called “Chemistry.” This uses conversational prompts and (with your permission) your camera roll to learn about interests and personality. And Tinder has cranked up security features with a mandatory Face Check to ensure users are, y ‘know, actually real.
It’s worth remembering that because Tinder is such a massive, mainstream app, so you risk running into mismatched expectations. The person you match with might be looking for a real relationship, not just sexting. Be sure your match is game and willing before you start firing off those steamy texts.
