An influencer has revealed a ‘hack’ she claims will get you ‘better matches’ on popular dating app, Hinge.
Iman, from southern England, has thousands of followers on TikTok, where she often shares snippets from her dating life.
She uploaded a clip and claimed she had found a way to ensure that people get the ‘best pick of the bunch’ on Hinge, which is available in the UK, Canada, India, and Australia.
The content creator said the tip meant that the people she is now getting are a ‘level up’ from the profiles she would usually see.
Iman told her followers to go to the settings tab and scroll down until they see the ‘delete or pause account’ tab.
The app will then ask why the user is leaving and give them four options to choose from.
These include ‘I met someone,’ ‘I need a break from dating apps,’ or ‘I’m not happy with my Hinge experience’.
Iman says you must choose the one that says ‘I am not happy with my Hinge experience’ for the hack to work.

She then said a pop-up will come up which will say ‘How about a fresh start?’ The app then goes on to say that it will refresh your feed while keeping existing matches.
Iman said to proceed and click ‘try it,’ and give it a few minutes for your Hinge algorithm to reset itself.
‘The type of people you get shown are completely different and in my experience, they have been better,’ she said.
‘You can actually do it more than once, I did it twice in a row and it’s like a different Hinge.
‘Have I met anyone on there? No. But scrolling on there is more fun.’
Some users thanked Iman for her tip, as they reported having better feeds once they followed her instructions.
One commented: ‘Yeah just did this and I’ve got loads of new people who actually live near by now and not on the east midlands which was where they were all from previously!’
Another said: ‘Yes it worked! Much better matches. Thank you.’

Some social media users reported getting better matches after trying the hack, but others said nothing had changed
A third penned: ‘You’re a genius! Tried it, totally works!’
However, it appears that this method does not work for everyone, as others said that the option did not come up for them.
A fourth commented: ‘Mine didn’t show me any of those options!!!’
A fifth chimed in and said: ‘Mine doesn’t say that just says it’s pause my account??’
Hinge was set up by Justin McLeod in 2012, who had the idea for the dating app when he was dumped by the ‘love of my life’ after college.
His childhood sweetheart decided to give him another chance, so Justin then rebuilt Hinge from scratch.
The company reports that they help set up a date every two seconds.
Hinge has been contacted for comment.
