Are you wondering whether your Tinder match has read your message? While Tinder doesn't turn on read receipts by default, you can buy read receipts bundles and enable them in your chats. This wikiHow guide will answer all of your burning questions about read receipts on Tinder.
How Tinder Read Receipts Work
- You can buy read receipts on Tinder to see if people have opened your messages.
- If the person has read your message, you'll see two checkmarks.
- Turn read receipts on and off in Settings > Manage Read Receipts.
Steps
How to Get Read Receipts
-
Open a chat in the Tinder app. You can only buy read receipts within a conversation. Read receipts are not included with any paid Tinder plans.
-
Tap Get Read Receipts. It's a blue bubble below the last message you sent.
- If the person you're chatting with has read receipts disabled, you won't be able to buy a read receipt for this conversation.
-
Select a bundle and tap Continue. Choose whether you want to buy an individual read receipt for this conversation or a bundle you can apply to chats with other matches.
- Once you tap Continue, read receipts will be active in this conversation.
- If the other person turned off read receipts, you won't see your read receipts if you tried to turn them on. Instead, you get to keep the read receipt bundle and use it in another conversation.
How to Turn Off Read Receipts
-
Open your Tinder Settings. To get here, tap your profile icon in the app, then tap the gear.
-
Tap Manage Read Receipts. You'll have to scroll to find this red header.
-
Tap the switch to turn off "Send Read Receipts" . The switch will be grey and pointing left if the feature is off.
- You can't accidentally enable read receipts without buying a bundle and toggling the switch on, nor can anyone you're talking with use read receipts in your conversations.
- You can repeat these steps and toggle on the switch if you want to activate read receipts.
