Tinder is an innovative dating app that connects users with potential matches locally or worldwide. While Tinder makes meeting new people easy, keeping track of conversations and messages may prove more difficult than expected. Sometimes users may want to delete certain conversations for various reasons - perhaps they accidentally sent an unwanted message; perhaps someone made them uncomfortable; there are multiple methods available to them for doing this on Tinder.
Deleting messages on Tinder may seem easy, but should only be done as an absolute last resort. Your deleted messages won't necessarily disappear from their device either, leaving the possibility that they may still have access to them in future relationships if you choose to reconnect.
To delete a message on Tinder, tap on the message icon at the bottom of your screen near your profile icon and swipe left in "Messages." When asked for confirmation of deletion, just confirm your decision by tapping "OK."
Once a message is deleted on Tinder, it will no longer appear on your device; however, the other user still has a copy and may message you at any time. To delete all conversations between two people at once, unmatch them instead.
Unmatching someone will erase all your conversations with them on Tinder, giving you peace of mind knowing they won't see your messages again in the future.
If you're having difficulty with clearing away old Tinder conversations, deleting your account might be the solution. Doing this will remove all data and messages from the app but re-installation can always happen later if desired.
If you are still unable to delete conversations on Tinder, contact their support team for help. They can tell you how long your dialogues have been stored on their servers and give you options on how you can recover them. Alternatively, use third-party messaging apps like KIK to permanently delete them so you can begin again from scratch.
