Tinder messages disappeared? Get them back without compromising your privacy

Tinder is part of IAC -- one of the most diversified groups of companies on the internet -- and is one of the most popular dating apps, right next to OkCupid and Bumble.

The most fascinating aspect of Tinder’s approach is that it crunches billions of entries per day and applies machine learning to understand online dating behaviour and optimise matching algorithms. 151 thousand images and 1.6 billion finger movements make a great playground for predictive analytics and deep learning in dating.

Tinder recently introduced a new algorithm that alternates the photo first seen by others when you show up on Tinder. The app then notes each response as others swipe on you and reorders the photos to show your most popular ones first.

Tinder messages gone? No problem.

For most people, Tinder is fun, fast, and quite addictive. It’s easy to chat, set up casual dates, and see who’s reciprocating interest. Moreover, now you can see what songs someone has played and if you have loads of friends in common, which is always great for IRL matches, right?

Sometimes messages disappear from your Tinder account, and instead of settling with the fatalistic explanation that “it wasn’t meant to be”, you do everything you can to recover conversations, phone numbers, and cute flirts. Yes, disappearing Tinder messages is unfortunately a trend, but it has nothing to do with fate.

Exporting Tinder messages with iPhone Backup Extractor

Tinder message recovery is possible with any iPhone backup. iPhone Backup Extractor reads your iPhone backups, finds your Tinder messages, and recovers them. Even if you un-match someone, you can recover the conversation.

It’s important to note that access to Tinder messages is possible only for account holders: we don't encourage or facilitate any form of privacy invasion.

Recovering lost Tinder matches

Whilst we are busy running rocket science experiments 🚀 for you, we’ve dug into ways you could get a second chance at swiping right on someone, and we did find a solution. Quoting Quora:

If you un-matched someone or accidentally swiped left on someone you actually liked or changed your mind about, quickly delete your Tinder account, delete the app off from your phone, then reinstall and recreate your account.

Tinder themselves have two solutions, and suggest logging out and in again (although it's not clear how well that works), and they also suggest using Tinder through their site.
