Do you want to screenshot a Tinder profile without the person knowing? If you want to take a secret Tinder screenshot, you're in luck—Tinder does not send notifications about screenshots like Snapchat. This also means that you won't be notified if somebody takes a screenshot of your profile. If you're curious about how screenshots work on Tinder and whether you should take one on your phone or tablet, you've come to the right place. This How.com.vn article answers your questions about Tinder's screenshot notification capabilities, why people take screenshots, how to take one, and if you should.

Things You Should Know

  • Tinder does not notify users when screenshots are taken.
  • Most people take screenshots to get advice from a friend or to share something memorable.
  • Sharing a screenshot of a private conversation without the other user's permission could be considered a breach of privacy.

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 The ethics of screenshotting somebody's Tinder profile is kind of a grey area.
    If you are screenshotting a public profile, that information is already available for everyone to see. However, taking a screenshot of a private conversation could be considered a breach of trust, especially if you distribute the screenshot without permission.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 There are many innocent reasons people may take screenshots on Tinder.
    It may just be as simple as you had a funny conversation that the person wants to save. Maybe a person is considering swiping right, but they want to get advice from a friend first. On the other hand, if you know that someone is a predator, a bot, or a scammer, sharing a screenshot can help warn other people.
