Think he is still using Tinder

[ValentinesOrNot]

I’ve been seeing someone for four months and all isn’t going well. We met on tinder and I hadn’t been on it to swipe for several weeks as I’ve been content with how things are going. I went on Tinder today to read our old messages (I’m off work on a snow day and bored) and saw that an extra photo of him has been uploaded to his profile, a photo I know for a fact was only taken within the last few weeks. I wondered whether if you changed your FB profile photo that it automatically updates on Tinder, but I’ve googled and it appears not. So this suggests he’s not only using Tinder but is enhancing his profile. Does anyone know if Tinder CAN update your photo by itself from Facebook?
I’m gutted I honestly believed he was totally into me.

Hi, I don't think it does. Sorry its probably not what you wanted to here. have you had an exclusive chat?

As far as I know tinder does that...as soon as you update your FB, it updates your tinder profile as well. That's how I ended up with a profile pic on tinder with me and my new bf...hahahaha! What you can do is create a fake tinder and swipe and see what happens, if you can actually chat to him

I hope you are right cafune
Doesn’t seem to be any way of finding out once and for all if tinder does do this

Try changing your profile picture then and see what it does........or ask a mate who has tinder to do it for you. Or ask him! Did he recently change his facebook profile pic?

As far as I'm aware no it doesn't. I've been a tinder user for the past 3 years off and on and you have to actively add the new photos yourself. If you enable the smart photo function it tests to see which photos the app thinks are the best and reshuffles them but only the existing ones you have on the app.

To upload more or new ones you have to do that manually yourself.

Sorry probably not the answer you want, this is my understanding of how the app works.

Have you had the "are we exclusive and taking down our dating profiles" chat?

You say you haven't been on for several weeks but hve been dating 4 months? Sounds like your both keeping your options open. And if you haven't established if you are exclusive yet that it doesn't sound like you are.

The question is not about the tech behind FB pictures and Tinder. It is about whether or not you have had a chat about exclusivity?

It may depend on whether you set your account up using FB or not. If you set your account up using FB login I suspect every time you update your FB profile picture, it will update your Tinder one just like it works with other apps.

I’m not a Tinder user and never have been though I’m just talking from experience of registering for apps with FB login.

If all isn't going well, it's only 4 months, and you've not had the exclusive chat, then...what actually is the issue? Why aren't you multi-dating anyway? Women putting all else on hold for a man they're just getting to know, especially via the huge pool chocolate box that is online dating, makes zero sense to me. You can bet their eggs aren't all in one basket just like that. As you see.

I'm guessing that was a typo and OP meant 'all IS going well'?

I think you should just ask him straight out.

You can have Tinder linked to your FB.
I don't have that though.
I believe if it linked to your FB that it does change you pic.
Can you try it if you are on Tinder?
See what happens?

I haven’t used tinder for a couple of years so maybe it’s changed but when I did last use it this wasn’t the case at all. When you first downloaded the app it would use your current profile pic automatically but then you had the option of removing that and using others.

So in all likelihood he’s recently re-downloaded the app or he’s added the new one on there. Either way, I’d guess he’s still using it. Sorry .

If it isn’t going well, why are you bothered OP?

It seems strange that you are so invested in something that doesn’t sound like it has a future.
