My friend found my boyfriend's Tinder profile a few years ago. She sent me a screenshot and I saw that the picture was old. I didn't think much of it at the time because I already knew he might have an old Tinder profile (he created it with his friends before they were together), and there are always jokes about that. I knew he had simply deleted the app. Anyway, we talked about it and he was surprised that the profile was still there; he thought they would delete it just because he didn't use it. He deleted the profile that same day and nothing weird has happened since.
The problem now is that I saw on TikTok that Tinder doesn't show inactive profiles. So, did he lie to me? I find it odd because I've never seen anything weird, the picture was old and it didn't show up as active recently. This week, we looked through his old mails and saw an email from Tinder (tinder@mail.tinder.com) that said his account was scheduled to be deleted almost two years after he created it. I don't know if that email is legit, since my friend found it a month after she received it.
INFO: since my friend found it, in theory, he hadn't used the app for over a year.
