Are you tired of swiping through dating apps only to find the same repetitive profiles? Well, one woman on TikTok may have found a little-known hack to refresh your online matches. Stella, known as @stellabr8, recently shared her disappointment while using the Hinge dating app. Frustrated with not finding anyone who fit her type, she declared that she was 'done with dating' and decided to delete the app from her phone.
But here's where things get interesting. As Stella attempted to remove Hinge from her device, she was presented with a notice giving her the option to either delete the app completely or refresh her feed. Intrigued, she chose to give it a second chance by opting for a refresh. Little did she know that this simple action would completely transform her experience.
According to Stella, this refresh essentially gets rid of the app's algorithm that determines the profiles it believes she would be interested in. And to her surprise, the results were astonishing. 'Suddenly, I'm seeing the hottest guys I've ever seen in my entire life,' she joked. In just five minutes, Stella ran out of likes on Hinge, a far cry from the usual pace where she would only find one guy she liked every 200 swipes.
Once Stella shared her experience on TikTok, fellow users flocked to the clip, relating to her frustration. Many expressed their own disappointments with dating app algorithms, which often seem to misjudge their preferences. One user joked about their experience with Hinge, where the app matched them with people who desired opposite qualities and values.
The response to Stella's hack was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their gratitude for the valuable intel. Some even joked that her discovery 'saved their life' and thanked her for the service provided. Others shared their amazement at how effective the refresh option was, with one person confessing that their jaw dropped at the first man who appeared on their feed after trying the trick.
For those who were unable to find the refresh option, one user provided some guidance. They explained that the option appeared for them when they selected that they were unhappy with Hinge, whereas other prompts may not display the same choice.
If you're feeling stuck in a dating app rut and want to shake up your matches, it might be worth giving Stella's hack a try. Refreshing your feed could potentially bring a fresh wave of profiles and increase your chances of finding someone who truly captures your interest. After all, the online dating world should be exciting and fun, not repetitive and boring.
So why not give it a shot? Delete that app, choose the refresh option, and who knows, you might just find yourself amazed by the new wave of potential matches that come your way.
