This post will explain them in detail and other potential solutions to the problem.
Use VPN
For some countries, Tinder may be considered a non-family-friendly app, making it vulnerable to getting blocked by some ISP. If Tinder is blocked, you need to use VPN to be able to use the app and eventually log in to your account.
One of the best VPN apps is NordVPN. It can bypass blocked websites and apps with a strong connection and security. Including Tinder.
Once you download and connect to the VPN app, you can then open the Tinder app and log in with your account.
Force-stop the Tinder app and open it again
If Tinder doesn’t work properly, you may need to do what most people do when their Android app stop working properly: force-close the app. This may fix the problem that you can’t log in to Tinder, in the simplest way.
To do this:
- Open the Settings app of your device (Android).
- Go to Manage Apps or Apps.
- Search for the Tinder app.
- Now, tap the Tinder app. Tap Force-Stop.
- Tap OK to confirm.
Once, you do this, the Tinder app will be closed. You won’t lose your data like messages, matches, or anything else while doing this. You can now open the Tinder app, and try logging in to your account.
Reinstall the Tinder app from your Android or iPhone
Android and iPhone have a simple way to reinstall an app. Usually, you can do this by dragging and dropping the icon into the trash icon. You can then install the Tinder app again from the Play Store, and try logging in to your account.
Some people who use Microsoft Launcher can use a different method, by long-tapping the icon and then tapping the Uninstall button.
Check your internet connection
Tinder requires a strong internet connection to work, and also allows you to log in to the app. Your phone is probably limiting how many apps can access the internet connection (mobile data). Or, if you use Wi-Fi, you probably need to restart the router.
You can access the Settings app to see if there’s something wrong with your internet connection. Go to SIM Cards & Mobile Networks to see and check your mobile data’s internet connection.
You probably need to clear Tinder’s app cache
Tinder, just like many apps, requires a cache to work faster. However, the cache isn’t updated properly, you have to clear it to make the app work properly. This may allow you to log in to the Tinder app.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Manage Apps or Apps.
- Tap the Tinder app, and tap Clear Data.
- Now, tap Clear cache. Tap OK to confirm.
- Your Tinder app will be closed and you won’t lose your match or message. When you open the Tinder app, you will have to log in again.
Make sure you enable GPS for the Tinder app
The Tinder app requires location service on your phone to be enabled and work properly. If you can’t log in to your Tinder app, it’s probably because your phone can’t use GPS or location service properly.
- To check for the location feature, simply go to Settings.
- Tap Additional Settings.
- Tap Privacy.
- Then, tap the Location button. You can also choose High accuracy to make Tinder works fine and allow you to log in to the app again.
Try resetting your Tinder password
Some people register with their Facebook accounts. Some use the phone number to log in. But, people will still need to reset their password to make the account more secure.
If you forgot your Tinder password, you can reset it with your email.
- On the app, simply tap Trouble logging in?.
- Tap log in with Email.
- Now, enter your email address, and Tinder will send you a reset link, then eventually you can log in to Tinder again.
Tinder is probably down
If you have done all the things above but nothing works, Tinder is probably down. You can check and open the Tinder website, or ask your friends whether the Tinder app can be accessed or not.
