Does Hinge Have Read Receipts?

Do you want to know if someone read your message on Hinge? Unfortunately, the Hinge app doesn't have Read Receipts, so you won't be able to see exactly when your message has been seen. However, Hinge offers a feature called "Your Turn" that can send your recipient a reminder to respond. You can also enable "Last Active" to show an approximate time frame of a member's last activity. This How.com.vn will show you how to use Your Turn and enable Last Active on your iPhone and Android device, as well as alternative apps that offer Read Receipts.

Things You Should Know

When using Your Turn, the recipient will receive a notification of a pending message from you.
You can only see a member's Last Active status if you and the user have it enabled and you haven’t matched yet.
