  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Tinder has read receipts, but they're not turned on by default.
    Tinder read receipts allow you to know when your message has been read. If you enable read receipts in the Tinder app, you can see if the other person looked at your message a few hours ago and still hasn't responded, or if they haven't opened it at all.[1]
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 To use read receipts on Tinder, you'll need to buy them.
    You can buy one or more read receipts at a time and add them to specific chats. Once you activate the read receipt you've purchased in a conversation, you'll get read receipts for all messages you receive in that conversation only.
    • 1 read receipt = $2.99.
    • 5 read receipts = $15
    • 10 read receipts = $20
    • 20 read receipts = $30

Are read receipts worth it?

Download Article
  1. How.com.vn English: Read receipts might be worth it, depending on why you want them.
    Read receipts can relieve stress and anxiety about whether your Tinder match has seen your message, but they can also mean nothing. For example, if you sent a message an hour ago and you see they haven't read it, you might think they are purposefully ignoring your messages, but they could just be busy. And if they have read your message but not responded, you might take it personally even though they might just be at work, school, or doing something that requires their full attention.
