How to Install and Use Tinder Without Facebook

This facility helps new as well as prospective users to trust the app and use it more often for dating purpose. On Facebook you upload many of your pictures and personal information which automatically appears on your Tinder Profile as well. One more thing, Tinder asks you if you want to let it view your Facebook contacts and if you allow the app then it scans all your contacts and matches them with other users of Tinder.
