Even though it’s all conducted online, social media interactions can still be just as awkward and sometimes downright daring as real-life situations.
Cringe is something that is always behind the corner, waiting to show its ugly face to anyone who isn’t careful enough or actually isn’t socially awkward enough.
We were all there. You go to someone’s 7 year old Facebook posts, then you accidentally hit the ‘Like’ button and boom! – Your whole world collapses like when you turn off some of those old televisions. After that, nothing but emptiness remains.
Kidding aside, following someone and even indirectly admitting that you like someone by vehemently viewing their online content can be pretty embarrassing if you get caught, which brings us here to our question of the day – Does Tinder Warn Other Users When You Create Fraudulent Screenshots?
And, oh yeah, we’ll talk about Tinder especially in this article. ‘Indeed, this Tinder is a quirky place where sheer magic and soul-crushing squirrel and frustration go hand in hand!
Ok so let’s see how safe we are on Tinder when it comes to taking screenshots.
Tinder’s Privacy Policy
Everything in order. To understand what kind of freedoms you can get with this incendiary app, you first need to consider their privacy policy and code of conduct, so to speak. So let’s see what the heads of Tinder have in store for us mortals! (A Quick Note: This section is about what personal information Tinder will collect from you and under what circumstances.)
login ID
It’s not that big of a deal, really. Similar to almost any other app, Tinder will ask you to fill in your basic credentials (your email and password) to create an account. Far too good.
Appendix, Profile Forming Information
Once you get past the initial account creation stage, you’ll be able to customize it however you want! Your background, interests, hobbies, personality type and similar information can be added to make your profile more interesting for other parties.
Also, you can add photos and videos to make yourself more attractive! (This might be too easy, but it’s worth noting that all this information will be made public, so make sure you don’t post anything rude or embarrassing!)
Payment Information
If you decide to make some kind of purchase through Tinder, you should be aware that people on the other end of the transaction will need access to some of your financial information. To be fair, these types of transactions where you work directly with Tinder people are pretty safe, so you don’t have to worry too much.
Participation in Surveys and Focus Groups
Volunteering to take a survey or be a member of a focus group means you have to provide some additional information to the researchers on Tinder. These are mostly questions about your overall experience with the app, but they can also include things like your personal opinions and preferences.
So, Will Tinder Alert Other Users If I Take a Screenshot of Our Conversation?
Mercifully, no, not quite frankly. (Well, for now at least. They might change their privacy policy in the future, who knows.) If you start a conversation with someone swiping your handsome mug to the right, you have the freedom to take as many screenshots as you want. speak as you like and the person on the other end will not be any smarter!
(Of course, we won’t encourage you to abuse this freedom, because people can get really hurt if you reveal some embarrassing things they may have mentioned in your DMs.)
What about Photos? Will My Tinder Match Know I’ve Taken Sneaky Screenshots of Their Beautiful Self?
That would be another big fat – NO! You can take as many screenshots of other people’s profile photos as you want, as long as you’re not being rude or otherwise causing trouble during your stay in the app!
Again, please be careful how you handle them. To use them to humiliate or otherwise humiliate someone would be quite the wrong move, frankly speaking.
So that’s it, folks! We hope this article answers your question and we wish you lots of flashy scrolling and even more matches. Be safe outside and have fun!
