Tinder is a free dating app from Tinder LLC for adults who want to meet singles nearby or abroad, for a date, a relationship or new friends. Swiping is the core idea, and modes such as Astrology, Music and Passport shape who you end up chatting with. It carries a Mature 17+ rating.

Tinder LLC and a 2013 release

Tinder LLC publishes the app, and its developer website is tinder.com. The first release dates to July 14, 2013, which makes it one of the longer-running titles in the dating category of our catalog.

The package ID is com.tinder, and the current version is 17.41.0, updated on November 2, 2026. The developer says the service has produced over 100 billion matches. We have not verified that claim independently.

The core idea is a swipe-based match. You can only chat when both people have shown interest, and you can unmatch at any point.

Astrology Mode, Events and Double Date

The newer additions are the most specific part of the feature list. Astrology Mode compares the mutual energy of two people through star signs, while Music Mode helps you find a date-slash-karaoke partner. Events is meant to move conversations offline, but it runs in selected cities only for now.

Double Date lets you bring single friends along, and they bring theirs. The app also says it learns your type with each swipe, so suggestions should shift as you use it.

Passport Mode covers location. You can match with people near you or make friends in another place before you travel there. If you feel shy, you can see who has already Liked you.

The profile is built from photos, prompts and personal details. You also set your intentions, so others know whether you want a date, a serious relationship or friends.

Photo Verification, Share My Date and paid tiers

Safety tools get prominent mention. Photo Verification is meant to help you chat with more confidence. Share My Date lets you tell loved ones where you will be when you arrange a meeting. Incognito Mode limits who sees you to people you have already Liked.

If a chat message looks inappropriate, the app blurs it, and you can flag anything that bothers you. These are the developer's descriptions of the tools, not results from our own testing.

The app is free, with ads and in-app purchases. Subscriptions are named Tinder Plus, Gold and Platinum. They add unlimited Likes, weekly Super Likes, the option to send a compliment before matching, and Unlimited Rewinds.

Android 9 requirement and listing details

Version 17.41.0 needs Android 9 or later, so phones on older releases cannot run it.

The content rating is Mature 17+, and the tags include dating and mature-17.

Alternatives include Badoo Dating App, Bumble Dating App, Bumpy, Boo Dating App, Jaumo Dating App and happn.
