Choosing to signing up via phone number is a much safer option as then you would only be providing your phone number and your name, which would not be in the case if you go with the other option of signing up with Facebook.

1. Using your Mobile Phone Number to Join Tinder

The best method is to join Tinder using your Mobile Number. This way you don’t have to use or connect your facebook account on Tinder. Here are the steps to do so;

2. Using your Facebook account.

Signing up using your Facebook doesn’t mean your Facebook friends need to know anything about it. Here is what you need to do to keep it private – Sign up for Tinder using Facebook and Change the Tinder App Visibility settings, in your Facebook account.

  • Login into Facebook.
  • Open the Settings page from the drop down menu.
  • Navigate to “apps linked to your Facebook” page.tinder facebook
  • Find Tinder in the list and click on the edit option.tinder facebook app
    • Change the visibility of the app to “Only Me”.

3. Using your Landline Number

  • As told in the above method of signing using your mobile phone number.
  • Enter your landline number instead of a mobile number.
  • You will not receive any text message this time ( You need to wait a bit)
  • Hit next anyway and continue.
  • Click “I didn’t receive any text”
  • Next choose the option to receive the code from a voice call.
  • You will get a call on your landline and the code will be spoken to you.
  • Enter that code and complete the set up as told previously

There is only one back drop of this method : If you have logged out of your Tinder account and you need to login to it again, then you should be near that landline phone, as the code will come on it only and you will have to receive the call.

4. Use A Secondary FB Account

This might sound a bit weird, but if you really want to use Tinder without giving it the access to your Facebook account, creating a “fake” Facebook account is the best you can do (A burner/fake account is another name for a secondary account). By this you will use your secondary Facebook account to access your Tinder account, note that running two Facebook accounts violates Facebook’s terms of service, so you might experience difficulties in it for longer periods of time and might also happen that your burner Facebook account gets locked down or outright banned. Still, this is the only way to do it.

Note : For privacy concerns always use a throw away or temporary email. Getting a temporary email is easy just search for it on google and you will get many options, they are free and don’t require any authentication. Just use them for your work and then forget about them.
