Bottom Line

This app is inappropriate for children of any age. It is a "hookup" app. Tinder is often used for sexting and it’s primary use is for meeting strangers in your area. Many users of this app, regardless of age, will receive direct, unsolicited requests for sex and naked photos. Tinder enables users to be overtly sexual with very little regulation. No minor should ever use this app.

Talking to Your Children

Tinder is simply not appropriate for minors. If your child is having trouble understanding why they cannot have this app, talk to them about the dangers of communicating and sharing content with strangers in their area. Refer to our Parent’s Guide section for tips on how to talk to your child about these risks.
