Does Tinder Delete Inactive Accounts

While doing the right swipe on Tinder, have you ever thought about how this platform handles inactive accounts or inactive profiles? Does it delete them or keep on showing them to active users like you?

Recently, I was stuck in a war of questions and the result came out in this guide. So, let us find out if Tinder deletes inactive accounts or not.

Does Tinder Delete Inactive Accounts?

Short Answer: Yes, Tinder deletes inactive accounts after two years of no activity according to its privacy policy. Further, you’ll receive an email saying “Your account is scheduled to be deleted” after a long time of inactivity on the app.

Explanation:

After receiving the scheduled account deletion mail from Tinder, you can quickly go ahead to update your account if you wish to continue on the platform.

Also, according to Tinder’s privacy policy, the platform deletes all the profile data after the completion of the safety retention window of three months. So, If you want to recover a deleted account, you can do so within 90 days of deletion.

Furthermore, hiding your profile is another option if you want to temporarily stop being shown to others without deleting your account.

Note: If you subscribe to Tinder Gold or Platinum, you can see a grid of people who have already liked you, and this grid can include inactive profiles.

Does Tinder Show Inactive Profiles?

Many people who are unable to find a perfect match on Tinder start thinking if they’re shown inactive profiles by the application.

Tinder’s operating algorithm is based on prioritizing the active profiles over the inactive profiles. However, inactive users may not be completely hidden in this process.

Hence, all the inactive profiles are kept in circulation on the platform as an opportunity for the profile user to return to the platform.

However, once the terms and conditions of Tinder’s privacy policy are fulfilled, the inactive profiles are quickly deleted by this online dating application.

Also, some users say and believe if your account has been inactive for more than 7 days, you won’t be visible at all. However, inactive profiles are not deleted and may sometimes appear on people’s potential matches.

The less you use Tinder, the less you appear in people’s searchers

Here are some additional things to note:

You can see if someone is recently active by looking for a green dot next to their name. This feature is available to all users.

But, If you don’t subscribe to Tinder Gold or Platinum, you’ll see the green dot, but all profile photos in your Likes You grid will be blurred.
