In 2017, Hinge received a significant update, which brought in a few extra changes to the platform. If you are someone who is thinking about creating an account on Hinge, Then this article will be helpful to you. Here we have discussed what the Hinge app is all about and how you can use it to find a meaningful relationship. So without further ado, let’s get into it.
What is the Hinge app?
As mentioned above, it is an online service where people for meaningful new relationships come for assistance. All you need to use Hinge is to download their application. It is available for download in both iOS and the Google play store. Once the installation is done, you can begin creating your account right away. There are two ways to open up an account on Hinge. You can either use your Facebook account and use all its information to create an account right away, or you can set up an account by filling in the details one after the other.
You will have to enter personal information when you open up your Hinge account, information like education, height, ethnicity, and much more. If you wish to keep these things private, you get that option too, but Hinge will need this information to show up accounts for a match that has the best chance of matching up.
How does it work?
Based on your account’s information and interests, Hinge will show up accounts of people with whom you share similar interests. But for that to happen, you first need to be honest and present yourself as the person you are, not who you want to be. Firstly after setting up your private information, you will see the prompt to upload pictures. You do need to upload a few of your images here and show who you are. Avoid putting in any group photos and stick to your photographs.
After the images are all set up, next, you will have the option of inputting prompts. By default, there are around 80 text blurbs, using which you have to express yourself to show everyone who you are. There will be texts blurbs like ‘I know I’ve made it when….’ and you have to fill in this blank with your honest thoughts. This will help everyone that sees your account get to know what kind of person you are. It is the best way to have an excellent first impression, so be sure to put some thought into what you want to write here.
