How Do You Delete Tinder Photos on iPhone?

Yes, you can. Open the Tinder app on your iPhone, tap the profile icon, then tap the pencil icon or Edit Info. Photos and Loops are among the things you can edit there, and that is where a photo comes off your page. Tinder says some options vary by location, so a field you expect may not appear for you.

Tinder's instructions for editing your page do not split by phone. They say to open the Tinder app or Tinder.com, so the same steps apply to the iPhone app and to the website.

1. Open the Tinder app.
2. Tap the profile icon.
3. Tap the pencil icon, or Edit Info.
4. Open Photos and Loops and change your set.

If you find the small screen cramped, the same edit screen is available at Tinder.com on a computer. That can help for the next section.

Men who ask this question are often really asking about the gallery. They deleted a picture on the iPhone and want to know whether it is gone from Tinder, or the other way around.

Treat the two lists as separate. Tinder's edit screen manages the photos on your Tinder page. Your iPhone's Photos app manages the photos on your phone. A change in one is not a change in the other, and you should not assume they stay in step.

A photo you took off your page is no longer on your page, so putting it back later means adding it again. The habit that settles any doubt is simple. After any edit, open Tinder's edit screen and read what is listed. That list is the only one a woman sees.

A woman sees your photos one at a time, but she forms one impression from all of them. Judging them one at a time on a phone hides problems that show up when the set is side by side.

Open Tinder.com on a laptop and look at the full set together. Is the same gray shirt in three of them? Are there two photos from the same afternoon? Is there a single photo with other people in it, and can you tell which one is you? Delete from whichever device you like. The point is to decide on the set, not on each picture.

In many regions Tinder requires at least one face photo on your page. Tinder says that if it cannot detect a valid face photo, your page is hidden from other people, and you cannot use Likes, Super Likes and Boost until you add one.

On an iPhone it is easy to delete quickly, because the buttons are under your thumb. Slow down for the face photo. Add the replacement first, then delete the old one.

Ask three questions about each photo.

Can she see your face clearly? If not, it is a candidate to go.

Is it recent enough that you would be recognized from it at a bar? Photos from several years ago cause a bad first minute on a date.

Does it show you doing something, or only standing there? a dating coach's complaint about most men's pages is that nothing in them gives a woman a reason to stop. A photo of you at a real place, with something happening, gives her one.

Deleting from Tinder is easier when you are not afraid of losing the photo. Make an album on your iPhone for the ones that were close, and drop the photos you pull from your page into it. A photo that is wrong for the lead spot may be right for the fifth. A photo that is wrong this month may suit you better after a haircut.

Then work in a fixed order, so your page is never left half finished:

1. Add the replacement photos first.
2. Put your best face photo in the lead spot.
3. Delete the weakest photo that remains.
4. Read the whole set once more, then close the app.

Doing it in one sitting means you never leave your page in a state you would not want a woman to see overnight.

You are already on the edit screen, so read your bio and About Me section while you are there. If a sentence would fit any man, replace it with one detail from your own week. That change tends to make a page stand out more than moving a photo up or down one place.
