Tinder Doesn’t Pick My Location? Android & iOS Fixes

Hi, singles!

Like other social apps, Tinder monitors your location and Tinder comprehends your area by utilizing the GPS signal from your smartphone. It means that Tinder updates your interested matches according to your site.

But there’s no way to hide your Tinder location; you can’t turn off your Tinder location, you can change it, so if there’s no location, you can’t swipe.
