    It uses to be that if one person logged on, tinder obviously calculated your distance to matches, so…. if you log in at home, and he logged in at home, it would show, say 8 miles away. If he genuinely travelled 1000 miles away and DIDN’T log in, but you did, it would still show 8 miles away. If he logs in too, THEN it will show 1000 miles. So to the poster above, for his to have changed when he was travelling means he must have somehow been online whilst away

    I have the same question as Mike. I had a friend who I was matched with and it said she was 1 mile away no matter where I went in the city. Then a couple days later it said she was 13 miles away. Then later that day she was 1 mile away. Then a few days later she was 68 miles away, which is where she lives. Sometime after that she was 1 mile away. It’s like she was turning something on and off that kept telling me she was 1 mile away. Is there a way to mask your Tinder distance? Is this what Tinder Plus does?

    Hey you guys seem to be Tinder experts. My friend who is on Tinder almost everyday just found my boyfriend. It said he was 1mile away. I confronted him and he said he redownloaded the app back home a few weeks ago to “look for friends from high school”. So my question is does your account still show up on discovery for others even after you delete the app? And does the location only update when the app is opened?

    YaGirl,

    “look for friends from high school”???

    There’s an app for this and it’s called Facebook.

    The app distance updates when you open it.

    I hope you do it buy the looking for friends.

    I think if you just delete the app you could be found. However what was his last used date? He could get away with that, but saying he downloaded it to search for high school friends?!!!! No way…..he’d have his marching orders if he was mine, sorry

    My fiance and me got back together and I had a friend tell me she saw him on bumble so I asked him about it and he was so upset thinking that I would accuse him and showed me his phone and nothing and he is in town this weekend and I was sitting beside my friend and she showed me she just came across him on Tiber with old old old pictures so my question is if it’s not on his app on his phone and he thought I was on a dating site when I’m not is there a chance he’s just coming up because he’s in town this weekend or because he’s actually active or because he never deleted his profile ?

    Hi. I think the Tinder distance indicator is appx 90% accurate.

    I was stuck in a traffic jam last night, flicked thru Tinder and it said my soon to be ex was 3 km away. Once back home, he was 6 km away, which is the right distance between his place and mine.

    Last week I caught him in bed with another woman. Later that night Tinder indicated that he was “Less than a km away from me”. That was right about the time he called me at 2 am.

    To ensure the distance indicator updates regularly, you need to close the app (not log off but close the app) and reopen it again.

    The so called obsession with distance is more beneficial than harm to a certain degree. Scammers claiming I’m stuck at so and so, please help sent money can easily be detected to be lying.

    Hi, it seems like people here are experts of Tinder’s distance function, so I really hope you could help me.

    I’ve been dating with a guy from Tinder for the last 4 months, and we’re going serious. He always tells me that he’s fallen for me, and I feel that he really has. But what has been making me wonder is that he’s still a Tinder Plus user – I can tell as he hides his age and distance.

    But recently, he started displaying his distance, while he still hides his age (meaning, he still is a paying user.) His distance rarely changes, so I can tell that he’s not a frequent user. What makes me wonder is why he decided to show his distance.

    Even if you’re Tinder Plus user, you can’t see distance from others once you hide yours?
    If that’s the case, I wonder if he decided not to hide the distance, so that he can check where I am/if I’m still using Tinder…?

    I know, it’s such a ridiculous/pathetic mind game, but I feel awkward to tell him to delete his account just yet…
    It would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know – Thank you!!!

    You can just straight up ask him if he’s still using any other dating apps. To be honest, that’s the best thing to do if you can’t drop that suspicious feelings off.

    Late reply to the thread but trying to find out about distance thing.
    All the people with concern said about partners/people they have met with profiles easiest thing to do is tell them to delete the account. As mentioned before just deleting the app does not delete the account just the access that way it’s gone an they have to download and sign in again to make a “new profile”

    If the tinder app is deleted from phone but account was not deactivated is the location still updated regardless? Ie other users may see your profile but you have deleted app and you say you’re not using tinder.

    People, when distance changes by a few mile there is a good change that the signal is bounced between different cell towers. That can happen due phone traffic, weather or a tower is simply down. If you life in a city like NYC, the high buildings around you are another reason why you are changing the tower, even if you be still on the same place. So don’t spend to much time thinking about it. And anyway, who gives you the right to be a control freak in such an early stage of a relationship? If you are already doing this, you will never end up with this person. Who wants someone like this in his life?

    How can you sit there and say who gives you the right about to be a control freak at such an early stage of a relationship. Firstly you never have the right to be controlling full stop. If you read clearly a lot of peoples questions actually specify that they have spoken to the person they are dating and have asked if they are still using the app. If they want to know they have a right to receive an honest answer so they can decide what to do thereafter this is to do about honesty. You saying judgemental comments like that just makes you sound like one off these people that actually goes round deceiving others

    I have a similar question. I spent a short but great time with this girl I met on tinder. When we first matched, it said she was a mile away. I deleted my profile, and months later made a new one. We matched again, but now it says she is 162 miles away. I only have the basic tinder (no purchase), so how could we match if she is over one hundred miles? And can she see my message? If she is still on my list, she hasn’t unmatched me, right? Would I see a message if she sent one? Thanks.

    So this year it seems that tinder distance has changed to grids? When the significant other is at my house it still shows his distance at work? Strange. His house distance varies from 62 to 67 even though I know 100% that he’s at home. Has anyone else notice these changes to location?
    Tinder location is constantly inconsistent

    Bit late to the game but have a question that hasn’t been asked yet. I spotted my ex on tinder for the 2nd time since we broke up, the first time she set up an acc which was no longer visible 12 hours later. Than about 3 weeks later the same profile appears with no changes at all (a carbon copy of the profile I found weeks earlier). Now the question I’m trying ask is when I change the distance to 19 km it says “there is no one to match to” but the place I live tinder isn’t a thing so normal but once I change the search from 19 km to 21 km the profile appears saying “19km away” and I remember earlier in the day I was even further away so it should therefore have said a even further distance but when I when I checked it than said “16km”. What I’m trying to wonder is if this means the account is inactive or if this could mean anything, I know that she is moving away for a year in a week or so so found her using tinder now of all times quite weird plus when you add in the fact that it’s identical to the account she had afew weeks ago.

    That’s not important, bar my own personal reasons I just find it strange how this keeps happening. I haven’t seen a question about it so thought someone might have an idea.
