How Do You Report Someone on Hinge?

Open the person's page, or tap them in your Matches tab, then tap the three dots in the top right corner. Tap Report, choose a reason, and Hinge removes them from your view. Reporting is permanent, so you will not see each other again, and a reported match cannot view or get back your conversation. You can send Hinge extra details or screenshots through Submit a Request.

Hinge gives you two starting points, depending on whether you have matched.

1. Open the person's profile, or, if you have already matched, tap them in your Matches tab.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
3. Tap Report.
4. Pick the reason that fits best.

That is the whole process. Once you finish, Hinge removes the profile from your view.

A report is not a pause. Hinge describes it as permanent: the two of you will not see each other again.

It also cuts off the conversation for the person you reported. Hinge says a reported match cannot view or retrieve your conversation. If she was the one causing trouble, she loses the chat along with any chance to keep writing to you.

That permanence is the reason to be sure before you tap. Report someone who genuinely crossed a line. For someone who was simply not right for you, Hinge's own advice is to Remove them instead.

The reason list is there to point Hinge in the right direction, not to capture every detail. Choose the option that fits best and move on.

Men sometimes stall at this step, worried that the wrong category will make the report worthless. It will not. The reason tells Hinge what kind of problem it is looking at. If the story is bigger than any single option, pick the nearest one now and add the full account afterwards through Submit a Request.

Do this first, every time. It takes a few seconds and can matter a great deal later.

Once the report goes through, the conversation is gone from the other side, and you should not count on it staying easy to reach on yours. Screenshots of the actual words are the best record of what happened. Capture the messages that crossed the line, the name and age on her page, and her photos.

A screenshot is also calmer than a memory. When you describe something upsetting from memory, it tends to come out either softened or exaggerated. A picture of the message is just the message.

The in-app report gives Hinge a reason. Some situations need more than a reason, and for those Hinge points you to Submit a Request.

Use it when the story does not fit in a single tap: a woman who asked you to cover a medical bill, a match who made threats, or an account you believe is fake. Attach the screenshots and write what happened in a few plain sentences, in the order it happened.

Keep it factual. The person reading it does not need to know how angry you were. They need to know what was said, when, and by whom.

Hinge says it has no tolerance at all for anything lewd, disrespectful, discriminatory, threatening or harassing. Anything in that list belongs in a report.

So does money. Hinge's safety advice says scammers often ask for help with things like visas, customs fees, medical bills or plane tickets. Once money comes into it, Hinge says, the best step is to report them and move on. The same goes for anyone who tries to tell you where to invest.

What does not belong in a report is ordinary disappointment. She took two days to reply. She turned down a second drink. She was polite but flat. None of that breaks a rule. Hinge warns that false, baseless or retaliatory reports can bring warnings or bans on the person who filed them.

Once the report is in, leave it there. Do not send a last message to tell her what you did, and do not go looking for her account afterwards.

A clean report followed by silence is the strongest position you can be in. Anything you add after it only gives a difficult person more to work with.

The better protection is fewer chats that drag on long enough to go wrong. a dating coach's habit, once a conversation is going well, is to get her on a phone call, and better still a video call, before any date. A woman who is keen will usually say yes. Someone hiding behind borrowed photos, or angling for money, has every reason to avoid it. Then spend your attention on the women already writing back, because one bad match deserves very little of it.
