How to Install and Use Tinder Without Facebook

When you create an account on Tinder, it requires you to link your Facebook account with it because most of the people do not create a fake account on the most popular social network and that’s how Tinder does the easy and quick background check and ensures that you are a real person.

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.
