Tinder has been around for nearly a decade and it has become one of the best dating apps on the planet. You could be anywhere in the world and still find a suitable partner in your area. But if you have added your entire family on your Facebook’s friends list, then there is a strong possibility of them coming across your Tinder profile.
No guy or a girl wants this to happen as it might send wrong signals and create misunderstandings between you and your close Facebook friends.
Why should you use Tinder without Facebook?
Privacy is the main reason behind using Tinder without Facebook. This does not only mean closing off your family and friends from prying into your dating life but also getting rid of stalkers who might be lurking around your Facebook profile. So, there is a safety issue too.
When you sign in to Tinder with your Facebook credentials, you are officially permitting Tinder to post on your Facebook wall. They might post their promo ads or discount coupons without asking or notifying you about it.
Moreover, if you and your Tinder date have a mutual friend on Facebook, your date will see a highlighted message saying “you both have a mutual friend“. Again, it gives away information that you don’t want to share with your date.
