These days, it's pretty much known that dating app messages are fair game when it comes to screenshotting and sharing, either with friends or followers. But does the dating app Tinder notify matches when you screenshot on the app?

Does Tinder show screenshots?

No, Tinder doesn't notify someone if another user screenshots their profile or message. That doesn't mean you should, however. If your match is acting inappropriately, Tinder has reporting features in place for harmful messages. Otherwise, be mindful of screenshotting on Tinder and other dating apps. These exchanges are meant to be private — and sure, it might be easy to boost engagement by sharing these DMs, but your match sent them to be only read by you.
