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

He can't even own up to it.

What a weasel.

Please dump him.

HA! No. Nice try! Sorry op.

PaintedEgg · 21/08/2023 21:38

the absolute audacity of that asshole! of course it doesn't come preloaded on new phones

Username5656 · 21/08/2023 21:42

Camera, Clock, Notes, Settings, Reminders, Tinder.

Oh love.

CarPour · 21/08/2023 21:48

Did his mate also fill out his profile and message girls?

Come on. You weren't born yesterday. He's downloaded it himself, and is using it himself

I'm sorry OP. What a wanker

I was going to suggest asking him how Samsung determine it was Tinder not Grindr he would use & if he things it wouldn't be somewhat problematic for a large Corporate to start making assumptions on their customer's sexuality but second thoughts he's as dumb as a box of rocks if hethinks you would just buy that, I wouldn't waste your time on him.

Set up your own account, set your location to within a mile and if he's on it (which he blatantly is) you'll find him within a few swipes. Screen shot the ask him to explain that too 🙄

By all means do this, but don't be reassured if you don't find him. Likely he has deleted his account now you have wind of it or he is not using pictures of his face or his real name. You get a lot of sunset/food/pet pictures etc used by those wanting to start an affair.

Stigsmother · 21/08/2023 21:55

I'm on my second Flip phone (I dropped the first) and no Tinder on either, sorry OP.

FlamingYam · 21/08/2023 22:00

What's probably happened is that on his old phone, it was in a folder or had a false logo/image and this has not passed over on the transfer. I don't know how things get moved over on new Samsungs so I could be wrong.

Kpcs · 21/08/2023 22:04

even if it was preloaded he wouldn’t be getting notifications unless he was logged in and using it

Alicevvb · 21/08/2023 22:04

Wow hope he's now a ex bf!

Valerie23 · 21/08/2023 22:09

How awful to discover he's a cheating, lying bastard.

Use your anger to stay strong and dump him.

MsCactus · 21/08/2023 22:12

No! Obviously not!!

Thisisworsethananticpated · 21/08/2023 22:15

Franticbutterfly · 21/08/2023 22:18

What a prick! I'm sorry OP, it's such a shock to discover something like this.

Alicevvb · 21/08/2023 22:18

His badoo account is blocked.. when I looked on it, it said "you have been banned for breaching community standards"

Wtf

BubziOwl · 21/08/2023 22:20

Wow it just gets worse!

At least you've found out who he really is now rather than even further down the line and you'd have wasted even more of your life on him.

So sorry OP

PatrickGammon · 21/08/2023 22:22

He is a dickhead. Dump his ass.

ICanBuyMyselfShowers · 21/08/2023 22:23

As well as being angry at him trying to cheat I'd be offended that he thought I was stupid enough to fall for that obvious lie.

BitOutOfPractice · 21/08/2023 22:24

I mean kudos to him for coming up with an entirely new shit excuse. The second one was an old, much used one but the first one was, at least, novel.

im so sorry op. That you’ve had to find out his true colours. Looks like he’s got the full set there.

hope you’re ok. I know you will be but it’s shit right now
