Creating Tinder Profile
Tinder is a free to download application. However, it does provide premium services for a certain subscription fee. While most dating sites require users to create a profile, tinder uses a person's Facebook details to create one. Photos are uploaded automatically from the user's Facebook profile. Additionally, users can also upload photos from their camera roll or other social media sites. Apart from this, users are allowed to write about themselves in 500 words to better express themselves in the dating arena.
Tinder Matching Process
The matching process is rather simple. Users can select the gender, distance from user and age range of the recommended matches that are to be shown. Photos of potential partners pop up on the screen along with the age of the user and a list of common mutual friends from Facebook. Furthermore, tapping the photo allows the user to see more details about the potential partner such as their current distance from the user, last online activity, and the "about section" where the potential partner has expressed themselves. After that, users can swipe left to move on to the next profile. Once two users have mutually approved of each other, they can communicate via Tinder.
Celebrities on Tinder
Tinder is not only limited to ordinary users but has also a few celebs that like to use this app to find the perfect partner. It is probable that users who are near the celebs at the time may actually be able to look them up on Tinder. High profile celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Hilary Duff and Dave Franco have their own verified profiles on Tinder. These profiles are enough to tell how popular Tinder is as a dating app.

Bottom Line
Tinder is different from the traditional dating sites which are used mostly for hook ups. Though there are users in Tinder that are looking for hook ups, it also provides a social platform for users to interact. In short, Tinder is much more than a dating app. It's the combination of social networking and dating, working to make it easier for people to find their perfect match.
