How To Find Someone on Tinder Without Opening an Account
Tinder is the dating platform to use. With millions of active users, the chances of you finding someone to date and fall in love with are significantly higher on the platform. But what if you are not on Tinder and want to know if a person you are interested in is? Or maybe you want to help a friend by checking if their partner is active on Tinder? Follow this guide to learn how to find out if someone is on Tinder without opening an account.
How to Find Someone on Tinder Without Opening an Account
There is no official way to search for someone on Tinder without signing up on the platform. Fortunately, there are workarounds you can use, but they too are a hit-and-miss, and one has to be desperate enough to spend time doing it. However, before we begin, I would like to reiterate that respecting privacy is essential, and we do not encourage inappropriate behavior.
1. Through Tinder’s Profile URL
Using Tinder’s profile URL to find someone on the dating platform is a guessing game. The results are yielded based on how good you are at guessing. You can achieve an outcome only if you know their other social media handles or profiles (like Facebook or Instagram) and can logically guess their username.
- Open your favorite browser (you are going to need the luck).
- Type “tinder.com/@username” in the browser’s address bar (@username should be the person’s actual username). For example, tinder.com/@johnwick
- Hit Enter to search.
You will be redirected to their profile if you make the correct guess. You can continue trying with their last name, pet name, etc. As stated, there is no guarantee that you will get the results; the outcome is based on how good your guess is. This same trick also works to find someone from Tinder on Instagram.
2. Search Using Google
Google can help you find anything and everything on the internet. Fortunately, it can also help you find people on Tinder without opening an account. This method will again require you to use your best guess with what you know about that person. You can also use their social media usernames to guess their Tinder username.
- Open Google search on your PC or use the Google app on your phone.
- Type “site tinder.com@username” in the search bar.
- Hit Enter to search.
The advantage of this method is that you do not need to be accurate to the T. You can make a wild guess, and Google will use its search capabilities to show you Tinder profiles containing the username you have typed in while searching.
3. Asking Friends for Help
If none of the above methods work, you can ask your friends for help. We all have a friend who is more active on Tinder than on other social media platforms. But before searching for that person’s profile using your friend’s Tinder profile, you will have to change some settings on their account.
- Open the Tinder app on your friend’s phone.
- Tap the Profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and then tap on Settings.
- Under Discovery settings, ensure that the Location matches that person’s location. This trick should work, provided the person has not hidden their original location on Tinder.
- Change the distance preference to the maximum allowed. You can toggle off the Only show people in this range if you want to perform a more comprehensive search.
- Choose the Gender under Show Me.
- Set the Age Preference accordingly.
- Make sure that the toggle Global is turned on.
Now, grab a drink of your choice and start swiping left or right on the profiles. This is a time-consuming process, but hey, you never know. You might also find who you seek in the first few swipes.
4. Create a Fake Account
Another effective method to find someone on Tinder is by creating a fake account. You can create a new account with a different username, picture, and other information. This will let you find the person you are looking for without revealing your identity. To increase the chances of finding them, you must match their interests and locations with theirs.
- Open the Tinder app on your smartphone.
- Tap on Create New Account.
- Enter your mobile number and your email ID.
- Enter your basic information such as Name, Date of Birth, Gender, etc.
- Now, select your Interests carefully to match the interests of the person you want to find. You can choose up to five.
- Now, upload any of the two pictures, and your profile will be created.
- Once done, you can start swiping to find the profile of the person you are looking for.
After you have found the person’s profile, make sure to delete the fake Tinder account you created for this purpose.
Become a Tinder Spy
Spying on Tinder is extremely difficult. The platform is built in such a way that it protects user profiles unless they want the other person to discover it. Apart from these, look for a discount on Tinder Premium and subscribe to it. This will allow you to see who likes your profile and help you quickly find the person you are looking for.
