Here's how to make a Tinder account
and use the app.
On iOS devices, hit "CREATE ACCOUNT."
If you're on an Android,
choose how you want to log in.
Now enter your phone number.
You'll then get a verification code via text.
Then you'll be prompted to enter your email.
You have the choice to connect your Tinder account
to your iCloud or Facebook account,
or you can skip.
Tinder will ask you to agree to their "House Rules."
Hit "I AGREE" to confirm that you do.
Before your profile is live,
you'll be asked to fill out
your personal information,
such as your first name, birthday,
sexual orientation, gender preference,
and your passions.
You can then choose photos for your profile
and crop them to your liking.
Now hit "DONE."
You'll get a quick tutorial
showing you that a right swipe is a "like"
and a left swipe is a "pass."
You can make in-app purchases
to have more features.
You can avoid fake accounts by verifying yours
and looking for the blue check on other profiles.
The basic version uses your current location,
which you can change
by purchasing the Passport feature.
You can adjust how far or close you want your search.
You can also edit who you want to see
and the age range you're looking for.
The app itself has four tabs.
The fire icon is where you'll see profiles
to swipe through.
Premium users can see
who has liked their profile in the star tab.
The chat icon is where your matches
and conversations will be stored.
The person icon is your account
for previewing and editing.
In the edit section,
you can write a bit more about yourself.
This appears under the first image on your profile.
Now get to swiping!
