I’ve personally never paused or deactivated my Tinder account to determine whether it might cause conversation glitches. I’d assumed this probably affected all of her conversations (not just with me) – wherein guys she matched noticed conversations erased – yet they remained matched to her. Initially I thought my match paused or modified her account in some capacity, resulting in conversation disappearance without affecting match status. Tinder commonly crashes, freezes, and runs extremely slowly on my phone – probably explaining why I was prone to this random glitch.Īlso, I generally rapidly swipe right on many profiles so perhaps loading all my new matches simultaneously triggered some sort of a Tinder app crash. However, I’m all updated with my OS and apps. Often times failing to update the OS and apps can cause glitches and crashes, etc. However, my iPhone 7 frequently crashes (due to planned obsolescence, thanks Apple) and I regularly (~1-2 times per week) need to “reset network settings” for apps to function without crashing.Īre there any software updates that I need to download and install? The real culprit was that a glitch occurred only on my Tinder with the conversation remaining completely intact on hers.ĭid I download any iPhone software updates? Nope. OS, apps, etc.) caused losses of Tinder conversations without match losses I was initially thinking she may have had Android updates and glitches ensued from her end. I should also note that one Reddit thread mentioned “Android software updates” (e.g. Various Reddit threads dating over 5 years back suggest that glitches and “bugs” associated with Tinder are common and many users report erased conversations without losing the matches associated with those convos. However, after my full investigation, glitch/bug on my end turned out to be the answer. (Logically I’d assume that multiple conversations would be affected here but it was only one). Why? Because this has never happened to me before and I’ve been using Tinder off-and-on for approximately 4 years.Īlthough Tinder frequently crashes on my iPhone (likely due to the fact that I’m using an old iPhone 7 and Tinder is probably a memory-intensive app), I’ve never experienced this phenomenon (convo gone, initial match date intact, match moving up in carousel, match not new).Īnother reason I didn’t think a glitch or “bug” on my end caused this issue is because NONE of my other matches and associated conversations were altered. Initially I suspected the likelihood of a glitch or “bug” was low. That said, they were pretty easy messages to remember but I doubt she’d have remembered everything perfectly several days later. They did not and she read them back verbatim to verify no erasure from her end. The most likely explanation for this weird occurrence is that there was a glitch either: (1) within Tinder OR (2) from my phone while using Tinder.īecause I pretty much ruled out the possibility of her pausing, modifying, or deleting her account by asking her if the initial messages erased for her. So what happened here? My guesses are below. Investigation update: I asked my match if she paused her account (she claimed she didn’t even know this was possible) and asked if her conversations erased, etc. Key detail (case): This match “jumped” on my match bubble/circle order from 10+ matches back (further right) to one of my newest 3 matches – but the carousel did not say she was a “new match” (with one of those red dots) – so I know it wasn’t a re-match.Īnother detail: Her profile bio had been altered… completely different than the first time I’d read it. This led me to brainstorm and hypothesize what I think may have happened… keep in mind that my guesses might be completely incorrect here.Īlso understand that what may have happened in my Tinder situation might not apply to yours.
