If you want to change who you see on Tinder, you can change your Discovery Preferences. These settings tell Tinder the type of person you’re looking for so that it can give you possible matches that will suit your taste. Tinder maintains a very specific and short list of preferences, so it’s very easy to change these whenever you like.
