Do you wonder if someone is on Tinder but you don't want to make an account on the dating platform? Maybe your best friend is using Tinder and you want to check out their profile to see what they did. Unfortunately, there's no built-in search with Tinder, but there are some easy workarounds that you can use to find a specific user. This wikiHow article lists some ways that you can search on Tinder without registering for an account.
Things You Should Know
- Search for a Tinder profile using the Tinder URL or Google "site:tinder.com [their name]".
- Find someone's Tinder account with a third-party app by using their email address, social media, or other personal information.
- Most third-party search tools require a subscription plan to search.
1
Use Tinder's URL.
Download Article
Type https://tinder.com/@[username] in your browser’s navigation bar. Tinder exists as a website that you can browse as well as an app. Every profile on Tinder has its own URL, which is simply https://tinder.com/@[username] (without the brackets). If you know the person’s username, this is an easy way to find their profile.
- If you don't know their Tinder username, try the username they use on other social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok.
- For example, enter "https://tinder.com/@clarkkent" to see if that address pulls up a Tinder profile.

Borrow someone's Tinder account.
Download Article
Avoid creating an account for yourself by using someone else's account. You'll most likely need their phone to use someone else's Tinder account since it's a phone-based mobile app.
- Once you have their phone and the app open, go to Settings > Discovery Settings and add your location. Select Global and adjust the maximum distance if necessary. Finally, choose the gender of the person you're looking for as well as their age range. You should find that user if they have a profile on Tinder as you swipe.[2]
