Tinder symbols: What the signs mean

Open the Tinder app, you can access all the basic features via the navigation at the top of the screen.

• Profile: Tap the icon on the far left of the navigation to access your profile. There you will find options to customize settings, profile information, and other things in the app.
• Fire icon: The fire icon will take you to the match feature.
• Talk bubble: You can find your messages and matches via the talk bubble.

In addition to the navigation at the top of the screen, you have another one at the bottom.

• Yellow arrow: As a Tinder Plus member, you can use the yellow arrow to undo your last swipe gesture.
• Red cross: Via the red cross, you can assign a Dislike to profiles that you do not like.
• Blue star: If you like someone particularly well, assign a Super Like via the blue star.
• Green heart: If you like a profile, give away a Like about the green heart.
• Purple lightning: About the purple lightning you activate the Tinder Boost function, which gives you more matches in the next 30 minutes.

This is what the red dot and blue star

A red dot next to a match or the message icon signals that you either have a new match or an unread message. If you see a blue star on another Tinder user's profile, you have received a Super Like from that user.
