Since Snapchat popularized the screenshot notification feature, people often wonder (in fear usually) if taking a Tinder screenshot notifies the other person.
So does Tinder notify users that you’ve taken a screenshot? Will the girl ever think you’re a screenshotting weirdo? Because if she did, that would be embarrassing and likely the end of your interaction.
One sure fire way to impress potential matches is to make sure you are getting the most out of your profile. At ROAST, we make this easy for you! Our experts can analyse your profile and let you know what you can improve. Try our short quiz now to get started.

How good is your profile?

So does Tinder notify screenshots? Let’s look at the three different cases.
You take the Tinder screenshot. Your heart pounds. Your mind runs in circles. Oh no! Will she get a notification? Does she know what I just did? This is so awkward. I bet she thinks I’m a creepy loser who lives in my mother’s basement. Nooooooo.
Chill, you can let out a sigh of relief - Tinder does not notify the girl of screenshots you’ve taken of their profile.
So go ahead, screenshot all her pictures. Hang them on the wall.
The girl will never come to know you took those sneaky screenshots.
Unless you hung her picture on your wall, and she comes to your house after a date. Then she might call the cops.
So maybe you’re not the world’s best texter, and you constantly need to ask your friend for the perfect message to send.
Well, firstly, if you haven’t read our text guide that we suggested you read - Why not!
If you’re not the most creative and struggle to keep the conversation going, let the experts at ROAST guide you through the process. They have years of experience working with dating apps so know exactly how to grab the attention of potential matches. Try our short quiz now to get started.
And secondly, if you’re looking for texting advice, take a screenshot, hundreds of them if you want to. The other person won’t get notified.
Just be sure to have the same level of charisma in person as when you texted her (using the lines your friend gave you). Because otherwise, it will be awkward.
No, you won’t get a Tinder screenshot notification when someone takes a screenshot of your Tinder.

Ever matched with a really cute girl and showed her off to your friends? Well, you’re not alone - guys LOVE to show off their cute matches to their guy friends.
It probably ties into the sense of validation we get when we show off the girls we date. And guys, you’re not alone, girls do the same as well. Ah, we humans. Narcissism runs in our genes.
Let’s look at more reasons people take screenshots on Tinder.
Sometimes people want to get opinions on the people they match with. There might be something intriguing about a profile, or maybe there’s some observation they made that share-worthy. And why wouldn’t they share stuff - if you’ve been on Tinder for any length of time, you know how varied and interesting profiles are.
This is by far the biggest reason I see people taking screenshots on the app. Let’s face it, texting is hard, and texting your Tinder match is even harder (well, not if you’re the special ones who have checked out our Tinder texting guide).
Guys often take screenshots of text messages girls send to them get texting help from their buddies (especially those with good text game). They do this because they want to send the perfect message that will make the girl interested and go on a date with him.
If you need some help with getting your Tinder conversations going, that’s where our experts from ROAST can help. We know all the right things to say to keep your matches interested and get them to agree to more dates! Try ROAST now to boost your Tinder experience.
Some profiles are funny by design. Others are funny by accident. Either way, there’s plenty of humorous material on Tinder, and a good chuckle is a couple of swipes away.
People often share with their friends the profiles that made them laugh. If you want to get girls to laugh and get attracted to your profile, then be creative and craft an intriguing, attractive, and funny bio. You can get some tips from our bio guide here.
If you’re looking for more tips to make your profile funny and stand out from the crowd, why not try using ROAST? Our experts can suggest ways to improve your profile, inlcuding ways to grab the attention of potential matches. There couldn’t be an easier way to increase your matches.
Though keep in mind - don’t become a clown and put yourself down just to make a girl laugh. Making fun of yourself in a demeaning way shows that you have low self-esteem, and that’s an attraction killer.
You should be able to laugh at yourself while simultaneously not taking yourself seriously. Girls can generally sense when you’re laughing at yourself in a fun way vs. a degrading way. Your humor should always help make you more attractive and not more unattractive.
