Does tinder recognize your phone?

Why wont my pictures stay on Tinder?

Updates to your bio, photos, or Spotify Anthem not sticking? Make sure your internet connection is strong, and then delete and reinstall the app. This will not only put you on the latest version of Tinder, but also refresh your app experience, which should get things running smoothly again!
