The Basics

What you need to know to be safer on Tinder and IRL — all in one place.

We’ve created a list of what you need to know to help you be safer on Tinder and IRL and put it all in one place. Come back to it whenever you have a question or need some tips.

Online

  • Never give your personal information, including your address, SSN, or financial info, to your Tinder match.

  • Don’t give your phone number out until you feel comfortable.

  • Take your time when moving conversations off the app.

  • Report all suspicious and inappropriate behavior immediately. For example:

    • Requests for money

    • Harassment or threats

    • Harmful behavior during or after meeting in person

    • Members under 18

    • Spam

    • Unsolicited requests for any nude or sexual images - whether these include you or someone else

IRL

  • Meet and stay in public.

  • Be in control of your transportation.

  • Let someone close to you know where you are.

  • If you feel uncomfortable, leave.
