Discovery is the part of Tinder where you see other peoples' profiles. You can adjust your search preferences and control who you see in Discovery by editing your Discovery Settings.
To edit your Discovery Settings:
- Open Tinder
- Tap the profile icon
- Go to Settings
- Scroll down to Discovery
Update your sexual orientation, the age and distance of others you see on Tinder, and more!
Dealbreakers
We may show you potential matches that are outside of your distance and age preferences, particularly when you run out of recs within these ranges. Are these preferences considered Dealbreakers for you? You will see toggles below each slider in your Discovery Settings that control whether or not we show you people slightly outside of your ranges.
Turn Off Discovery
When you turn Discovery off, your profile won't be be shown to anyone new on Tinder*, but you'll still be able to view and chat with your matches.
To turn Discovery on or off:
- Open Tinder
- Tap the profile icon
- Go to Settings
- Scroll down to Discovery
- Find Show me on Tinder
Note: People you Liked before turning off Discovery may still have the opportunity to see your profile and Like you back; this means you can still get new matches, even after you’ve turned Discovery off.
