If you’re like me, the first thing you do after checking your phone in the morning is open up tinder. Then, to start the day, you swipe right on everyone who looks halfway decent and swipe left on everyone who doesn’t. Inevitably, though, there will be a message that pops up from last night, or even earlier, and says something like “hey” or “nice profile pic.” And then you’re stuck wondering: Why did this person send me a message so long after I received it? Here are some reasons why old messages tend to come to the top in tinder.
It’s not a bug; it’s a feature
Tinder is an app that has been designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible. That means that while there are some things you can change in your account settings, most of the other stuff happens automatically.
Tinder messages are not stored in chronological order
When you send a message to someone on Tinder, it’s not stored in chronological order. It’s stored in a database optimized for speed and storage space. The Tinder app has all of your conversations stored within this database. This means you can find all of your
The problem with sorting by time is that you’ll often miss messages from people you like but have already responded to.
This can be a problem because they won’t get a chance to see it, and in turn, you miss out on their response. This is especially true if they’re not using Tinder as actively as you are. The older messages will eventually drop down out of sight completely.
Conclusion
In conclusion, tinder message storage is a complex system that’s full of bugs and quirks. Despite these issues, it seems like the best way to deal with your messages is to accept them as they come. If you have a problem with the order in which messages appear on your screen, there are some tricks you can try, like deleting your account and starting over from scratch or switching phones entirely. If none seem viable options, then just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
