Fake Tinder profile using your photos?

If someone is using your photos on Tinder, report the profile from inside the app as fake or impersonation, or contact Tinder support if you don't have an account. Include screenshots of the fake profile and a clear photo of you so Tinder can confirm it's your identity. Reports are often handled within a few days.

How to get a fake Tinder profile removed

1
Screenshot the fake profile
Capture every part of the profile, including the name, age, bio, location and each photo, before you report it. Profiles can disappear from your feed once reported.
2
Report it in the app
If you have an account, open the profile, use the report option and choose the reason for a fake profile or someone pretending to be you.
3
Or contact Tinder support
No account? Use the Tinder Help Center to report a profile that uses your photos. Explain that you are the person in the photos.
4
Send proof it's you
Include the screenshots and a clear, current photo of yourself so support can match your face to the fake profile. Keep a record of the report.
5
Check other apps
Fake profiles rarely exist on one app. Run a reverse image search or a face match to find the same photos on Instagram, Bumble or Hinge.

Why people steal photos for Tinder profiles

Fake dating profiles are built from real people's photos because they look trustworthy. They're used for romance scams, to promote other sites, or just to catfish. You usually find out when a friend matches with "you" in a city you've never lived in. The same photos are often reused for fake accounts on Instagram too.

What to do if the profile is scamming people

If the fake profile is asking matches for money, gift cards or crypto, say so in your report. Scam reports tend to get priority. You can also report the scam to your local police or consumer protection agency, which helps if the same photos turn up again.

Tinder: frequently asked questions

Can I report a fake Tinder profile if I don't use Tinder?

Yes. You don't need a Tinder account. Contact Tinder support through its Help Center and explain that the profile uses your photos.

How do I find out if someone is using my photos on Tinder?

Friends often spot it first. Otherwise, a face match or reverse image search can find copies of your photos on dating apps and social networks.

Is using someone else's photos on a dating app illegal?

It always breaks Tinder's rules. Depending on where you live and how the photos are used, it can also break impersonation, fraud or copyright laws.

The fake profile came back under a new name. What now?

Report the new profile too, and mention your earlier report. Monitoring your photos makes new copies easier to catch quickly.
