What is Hinge Dating App: Match & Date?
Designed to be Deleted
Hinge explicitly markets itself to people looking for long-term, serious relationships rather than casual hookups. By forcing users to interact with specific parts of a profile, it slows down the dating process and encourages thoughtful conversation.
Profile Prompts and Voice Notes
A Hinge profile consists of six photos and three 'Prompts' (e.g., 'A shower thought I recently had...', or 'I'll fall for you if...'). To match with someone, you cannot just blindly swipe right; you must 'Like' a specific photo or prompt and optionally leave a comment. You can even record Voice Prompts to let potential matches hear your voice.
Standouts and Roses
Hinge uses an algorithm to curate a daily list of 'Standouts'—highly compatible users based on your past activity. To like a Standout, you must send them a Rose, a premium currency (though you get one free Rose every week).
Hinge+ and HingeX
The free version restricts you to 8 Likes per day. Upgrading to Hinge+ or HingeX gives you unlimited likes, advanced preferences (filtering by family plans, politics, etc.), and enhanced visibility.
