How to change your location on Tinder

Changing your location in Tinder is a pretty simple process. It will allow you to meet people who aren’t in your vicinity, which can be great if you’ve exhausted your local list. Tinder is all about making connections, so if you want to cast your net further out, let’s go over how to change your location on Tinder.

Tinder uses your phone’s current location data. If you activate a VPN to join a server in another country, you can change your location to begin swiping there on Tinder.

1. Download (and subscribe to) a VPN service to your device.
2. Launch that VPN app.
3. Select a location within the VPN app to change your country server.
4. After you’ve connected to your targeted server, open Tinder and begin swiping.
