Tinder Not Appearing In iPhone Settings?
If Tinder isn’t listed under iPhone notifications, open the app and enable push inside Tinder’s settings. If it still doesn’t show, update or reinstall Tinder—this refreshes the system permission prompt automatically.
Should I Keep My Tinder Notifications On Or Off?
Yes—keep them on for messages and matches at least. Real-time alerts help you respond faster and maintain chat momentum. If you prefer fewer distractions, use Focus or Scheduled Summary so you still get updates when it suits you.
Missing Out
You could miss an invite or chat if alerts are off. Notifications keep you in sync with your matches.
Momentum
Fast replies build connection. Notifications help you stay active and visible.
