Tinder is an online dating app that matches couples based on their physical attraction to one another. It alerts you to other Tinder users who fall within a specified age range and gender and are within a certain distance of your location, and it lets you know whether you have any mutual friends.

How does Tinder actually work?

Tinder, unlike other apps, only requires users to input their age, distance, and gender preferences. Tinder adjusts potential matches a user sees every time someone acts on his or her profile, it says. The company reorders this users possible match profiles within 24 hours of actions being taken.
