collapse: Few have not heard of Tinder(Opens in a new tab)Widely meet The dating app that created the concept of “swipe right for yes, left for no”. The way Tinder works is very much just that. Users create a profile to which they can link their Facebook and Instagram accounts. After filling in some basic information and writing a brief bio (usually no more than three sentences), users can swipe right. The app shows you other users based on location, and if you find one you like, just swipe right. If someone you like also swipes right on you, they’re a match, and you can proceed to message each other.
Why is it good for texting: While Tinder(Opens in a new tab) Technically a dating app, its reputation tends to skew more towards a hookup app. But unlike more serious paid apps like Match, Tinder tends to attract people who are open to something more casual. Setting up Tinder also makes browsing super easy without the hassle of creating an in-depth profile, so you don’t have to fill out all the compatibility-focused questions and can instead focus on what you’re really for — finding someone you think is hot enough to sext with.
Upgraded memberships come with great perks if you use the app for texting as well. With a Tinder Plus membership, you can choose to keep your profile information private until you like another user’s profile. With Tinder Gold, you can see who likes you before you swipe and swipe around (for some cultured dirty talk). Finally, with Tinder Platinum, you don’t even need to match with someone to message them — just go to Direct Messages instantly.
Bonus: According to a survey, more than 70% of Tinder users never meet(Opens in a new tab) with their matches in person. Normally this wouldn’t be considered a reward but in the world of sexting? All we hear is “a popular dating app where there’s not a lot of pressure to actually meet up.” Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
