Is Tinder already on some phones (android)

My boyfriend left his phone on the sofa and I saw a notification from the obvious tinder icon pop up on his phone..

I confronted him about it and he said it was already on the phone when he bought it.

It is a new phone to be fair it's a Samsung flip phone.

The phone does come with apps not related to Samsung

Even if it did (it doesn’t) there’s no way a notification would come up up from it unless you’ve logged in and created an account.

Why did he not just say it was from before he met you.
What an idiot.

He's lying

Awe OP I hope you're ok. As PPs have said your bf is talking rubbish. Time to dump him.

I have an android
It came preloaded with the likes of fb,insta,twitter,myfitnesspal etc

Not tinder-i would have to download that myself

WeeOrcadian · 21/08/2023 19:41

The size of the brass balls on this one!?!?

Fucking hell, I thought I'd heard it all

NO - Tinder isn't preloaded

Utereusbegone · 21/08/2023 19:46

No it isn't, and even if it were you would need to have an account to get notifications

ElthamLemur · 21/08/2023 19:52

Oh dear, how long have you been together?

My father asked me to install something on his phone recently and I saw the Tinder logo on his phone. It turned out to be a suggested app, I think it might have said 'popular' apps. But there was a little icon showing it needed to be installed, it wasn't already. At a glance it did look like he had Tinder on his phone. No way would you get notifications unless the app was installed and in use, though.

He's cheating on you, and thinks you're stupid. Get rid.

My partner has the Samsung flip phone and it wasn’t bought with a tinder profile on it and If that just so happened he’d of deleted it the minute he knew it was there.

don’t be so naive. Phones do not come equipped with dating apps.

Zanatdy · 21/08/2023 20:50

No of course it doesn’t. He’s playing you, complete liar

CantThinkOfANameAtAll · 21/08/2023 20:54

I bought a brand new android phone recently. It had Facebook preloaded, lots of Google stuff (news), Meet and YouTube. I had to download WhatsApp as that wasn't there so no. No Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or Grindr had been preloaded.

He's a bare faced liar.

porridgeisbae · 21/08/2023 21:03

I have Samsungs and no- that'd be daft.

JanglingJack · 21/08/2023 21:11

No of course it isn't.

Go and hoof him in the bollocks and tell him to do one.

That story changed fast. Open it up and if it's filled out...

TeeBee · 21/08/2023 21:15

Because people do that 🙄 What a lying twat.

ValerieDoonican · 21/08/2023 21:15

oh so he's changed his story now has he.

How old is he, 4?

Farmageddon · 21/08/2023 21:16

Just get rid of him OP and save yourself a world of heartache - he's not even a good liar.

Zaaarrr · 21/08/2023 21:17

Oh, hilarious. Why would any friend think that was 'a laugh'? How did his friend know his password to download it? Why didn't he notice? And how could he think you were going to believe that!

He's already lied right to your face.

shieldmaiden7 · 21/08/2023 21:18

Wow he really thinks you're stupid doesn't he? I'm sorry he's lying so much to you.

Iclyn · 21/08/2023 21:19

' Oh look there's a flying elephant ! '

FizzyFucker · 21/08/2023 21:25

Have you dumped his sorry arse yet?

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 21/08/2023 21:26

He won't mind showing you his phone then will he. Straight away.
