Are you getting a Tinder error message on your mobile app?
There can be a lot of reasons for this error to pop up on your screen and I’ll discuss them below, along with the reasons.
Why Do I Get An Error Message On Tinder?
- Failure of the Tinder network server
- Sharing inappropriate content
- Weak internet connection
- Corrupted Tinder app
- ISP blocking Tinder’s traffic

Tinder’s filters might be holding up some messages before passing them to your matches. It could also be that they are testing a new security feature that limits the spread of hateful messages on its platform, resulting in an error.
How To Fix My Tinder Messages? 5 Simple Fixes
It is a great inconvenience to not be able to send or receive messages from your matches, but we got a few fixes below to troubleshoot this issue at your end.
Force Close Tinder App On Your Mobile Phone
The first quick fix is to force-close your Tinder app and launch it again. To do that:
- Open your mobile phone Settings
- Go to your Apps Manager
- Scroll down and tap on Tinder
- Tap force-stop
- Now, relaunch your Tinder app and verify that you can send and receive messages on Tinder
Clear Tinder App Cache
Tinder and all other apps use their caches to boost up their performance so that you don’t have to depend on your mobile phone’s internal memory.
Sometimes, these caches bulk apps and cause an app to throw an error. To fix your error message, try clearing your app cache by:
- Going into your Mobile Settings –> Apps Manager –> Tinder
- Tap on Clear data
- Tap on Clear cache
Update Your Tinder App
Quite often, Tinder error happens to those users who are using older versions of the Tinder app or forgot to update their Tinder app to its latest version.
To check if your Tinder app has a pending update:
- Go to the Google Play Store or Apple Store
- Go to the Updates section
- If you see an available update, download and install it
- Restart your mobile phone and launch the Tinder app
Use A VPN
Sometimes, an ISP may block Tinder’s app or traffic, as this is meant for adults. Therefore, your ISP can rob you of sending or receiving messages to and from your matches.
However, you can use a VPN to bypass blocked websites and access your Tinder app to resume messaging service.
5. Reinstall Tinder App
If all of the above fixes fail, the problem might be that your Tinder app is corrupted.
In this case, uninstall your Tinder app from your mobile phone, Reinstall it, reboot your phone, and launch the app to verify the fix.
