The question people have long wanted to know the answer to is if Tinder continue to update a users location if the app is closed, or only when the user is active. Tinder will update your location and check for matches around you only when you open the app and start swiping.

Does uninstalling Tinder delete account?

Just deleting the Tinder app from your phone is not enough to get rid of your profile. To take it down, you need to log into the app and visit Settings. Then select “App Settings” and scroll down to “Delete Account.” Once youve done this, the app will give you an “Account successfully deleted” message.
