Now, keep in mind that changing your name on Tinder won’t affect your matches or conversations. The people you’ve connected with will still see your previous name. But for anyone new that comes across your profile, they’ll see your shiny new name right away.
That’s it, my friend! You’ve successfully switched up your name on Tinder. See, it wasn’t so hard, was it? Now go out there and rock your new persona. Happy swiping!
So, you’ve finally decided to make a Tinder account, but whoops! There’s a typo in your name. Or maybe you’d rather use a fake name instead of your real one. Either way, you’re wondering if it’s possible to change your name on Tinder. And hey, can you also change your age while you’re at it?
Well, let me fill you in on the details.
