‘I’m a married man and I don’t want to get caught, so can I look for possible matches without signing up on Tinder?’ You wouldn’t believe how common this problem is. People in relationships either want to see if the grass is actually greener, or they want to play on the field without risking what they have. I will not encourage such a move, but in the name of fair play, I will show you how to use Tinder without getting caught.
There is currently no way I know of to look for possible matches without signing up for Tinder. This means your only option is to create a fake account. Millions of catfish do this all the time so it’s not difficult, but it’s the only way you can do it.
Let’s put it right there. There is no guarantee that you will not be caught. Even if you follow this tutorial to the letter, there are no guarantees. You could accidentally leave yourself signed in to Tinder on your phone, type the wrong email address while your partner is watching, or do something completely different. If you don’t want to risk your current relationship, don’t do it.
If you still want to do it, keep reading.
Use Tinder without getting caught
Playing on the court while in a relationship is all about reasonable deniability and having some degree of separation between your true identity and the identity you use on Tinder. If you plan correctly, you should have a good chance of having both and using Tinder.
The real challenge is to find the app on your phone without being visible. If you are using Android, you can enable Guest Mode for it.
- On Android, select Settings and Users.
- Select Guest.
- Install Tinder while in guest mode.
Once you’re back in your own account, the Tinder app should not be visible. Few people know about Guest Mode, so this is as safe as can be. I don’t have an iPhone so I don’t know if you can do the same with it.
Next, you will need to create a fake Tinder account.
Create a fake Tinder account
If you want to create a fake Tinder account, you have two options. You can skip the Join with Facebook option and just use your phone number, or you can also create a completely fake Facebook account. It’s entirely up to you. Having a full fake ID will help you be more believable and will help if you plan to use other dating apps besides Tinder but if it requires more work.
Either way, you will need to come up with a fake name and create an email address for it. Use a fake name generator to come up with an email address and optionally an ID to use and create a Facebook account using these details.
A few things to remember when creating a fake ID:
- Keep your name similar to your own, but different enough for this degree of separation.
- Use a location near you to get local Tinder matches.
- Save your fake ID token in a safe place like a draft in your new email account so you can refer to it until you memorize it.
take some pictures
A major area of risk on Tinder is posting pictures. Your partner may not use the app, but some of their friends probably will. The last thing you need is for that friend to recognize you on the app and say, ‘Hey, right?’ moment. This friend will likely take the cat out of the bag, so you should avoid it at all costs.
You have a choice. You can use your own photos, but subtly disguised, or find a similar one on Google Images.
The risk associated with the first option is recognized. If you don’t include a full face shot, you won’t get a lot of matches and it will be obvious to other users that you’re trying to hide it. You can use a simple wig or beard, a baseball cap or glasses, but you have to do it well or it will be obvious.
You can also find someone similar online and use his or her picture for your main profile picture and others for accompanying pictures. The challenge is to find someone who is similar enough to you, but not different enough to be obvious. All while avoiding being clearly you for those friends. Plus, reverse image search.
Once you’ve uploaded your images, email, and Tinder, you can go ahead and create your Tinder account. If you think you can hide your Tinder Plus subscription, you can enable ‘Only People I Like’ to see you in the app for a little extra privacy. From now on, it’s up to you!
