Is this Tinder?

As the subject header says…

Is the symbol in the middle Tinder? I’ve googled and it certainly fucking looks like Tinder to me.

Phone was locked and I don’t know the passcode so couldn’t see anything further.
Is there another app that has a symbol like this? Because I’m at a loss as to why my partner of 5 years would have it on his phone…

virgo234 · 08/10/2022 15:24

I think so, yes.

Satansgourd · 08/10/2022 15:24

Sorry, OP…

RandomMusings7 · 08/10/2022 15:29

Sorry OP. It is.

If you tap on the icons does it show more info?

No2coming · 08/10/2022 15:33

Yes it definitely is, I'm sorry. Confront him and ask him to unlock his phone in front of you so you can see exactly what he's doing on the app.

Dudfud · 08/10/2022 15:38

The bastard :(

I didn’t even look at the phone because I was suspicious - it was lying in the kitchen when a notification went off and I happened to glance at it. I did tap on it, but it needed a passcode to access.

So sorry OP. Have you got real life support?

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 08/10/2022 15:43

Oh no why are these men never content with what they have?

tiddlywinks2 · 08/10/2022 15:45

Can you ask to use his phone to check something? Say yours is out of battery?

I wouldn't want to give him the chance to delete anything.

Stressfordays · 08/10/2022 15:48

100% tinder. Time to bin this one off, the bastard.

Devo1818 · 08/10/2022 15:48

What an arsehole. Sorry OP x

Filletoffish · 08/10/2022 15:52

Sorry OP

Notimeforaname · 08/10/2022 15:52

Sorry op. What a prick.
If you need help in how go about this, there'll be plenty of advice here.

isthismylifenow · 08/10/2022 15:53

Sorry OP. It's definitely Tinder.

Its not to say it a notification of a message though, but that iconwill pop up for any notification. So he is signed up one way or another.

As per pp, ask to use his phone for some reason. He may well have the app hidden in a folder.

ThisShipIsSinking · 08/10/2022 15:54

Do not say anything, he will only delete/ deny it. Can you or someone you know create a tinder profile and message him ? Have a set of questions ready as in has he been single for long, etc. Play him at his own game.

limitededitionbarbie · 08/10/2022 15:54

I'm Sorry you are going through this op it's shitty and I hope you are okay.

I'd get on tinder and match with the fucker with a fake profile. That's just me though. I'm petty. I would want absolute proof and then I would bin him off and not even tell him why. Let him figure it out.

Was talking about this last night with my newly separated friend. 90% of the men who've pursued her are married. It's grim.

girlmom21 · 08/10/2022 15:57

Oh I'm sorry op. What a shit.

XPD · 08/10/2022 15:59

So sorry OP. Like a kick to the stomach isn't it.

megacat · 08/10/2022 16:04

Make a fake profile and find him on there.

Iloveringos · 08/10/2022 16:06

Sorry this has happened to you, is there anyway you can get ahold of his phone and unlock it for a decent length of time to go through it a take pics of the evidence

quitelikelyto · 08/10/2022 16:10

Ugh. Sorry OP

Dudfud · 08/10/2022 16:18

I don’t think I’d be able to get hold of his phone. I’ve never looked at his phone before and he’s never given me reason to ‘doubt’ him before.

I called him my partner as felt a bit daft saying boyfriend, but we don’t live together. However, we’ve been in a committed relationship for 5 years, see each other regularly, never not trusted him.
We don’t live together because I have a young child at home and I don’t want to live with a man until she’s left home (probably not even then, tbh).

I stayed at his last night and saw the notifications this morning. I didn’t think he would use an app because he’s not into apps/social media at all.
He doesn’t have any social media accounts.

Do you not need a Facebook account to use Tinder?
I’ve used Tinder but it was many, many years ago. Would he have to actually be online at that moment for me to find his profile?
