Dating apps have revolutionized the concept of dates, love, and relationships in the 21st century. With their rising popularity, people are open to more opportunities to connect and form relationships with others, which may be impossible otherwise. Here, a single swipe of the finger offers a wide array of chances to connect with people, initiate conversations, and eventually fall in love. However, although these apps are gaining popularity with time, concerns also arise around them.
As known by most people, Bumble and Tinder are some of the most loved dating apps around the world. Hinge, a new addition to this group is gaining popularity with its unique features.
Hinge is a smartphone dating app that is available on Android as well as iOS. This app can be downloaded for free from the Play Store or App Store. Although it has some premium features, most of its features can be used for free. The tagline of Hinge itself sets it apart from the alternatives. This dating app advertises itself as “the only dating app designed to be deleted.”
This means that Hinge is designed as a dating app that helps its users find relationships that last. However, similar to other dating apps, Hinge shows pictures and profiles of people, allowing users to like or reject them based on their preferences and choices. “Prompt” is a unique and major feature of this app that helps users find a perfect match.
Prompt is a set of personal questions that every user has to choose and answer while signing up to Hinge. From dozens of questions the users can choose questions of their choice and the questions along with their answers will be displayed on the users’ profile.
According to the creators’ claim, these prompts help users identify others’ interests and create chances to initiate a conversation. Furthermore, as many sets of prompts are available on this app, the chances that similar prompts and answers appear on multiple profiles are rare.
Other unique features of the Hinge app are the option to like specific parts of a profile and the “Standouts” option. Unlike other dating apps, users can like specific pictures or prompts in a profile rather than liking the whole profile. Furthermore, the users have the chance to comment or chat with a person with just a like. The Standouts is a list that shows users similar to the types of users.
This feature helps filter out people who align with the interests of a user and connect with them easily. However, a catch of this feature is that users can connect with the people shown on the Standouts only by sending a rose. Although this rose will be added once a week for free, users have to pay to gain more if needed.
With these unique features and user-friendly interface, Hinge has been one of the most liked dating apps. However, according to the latest Hinge is facing issues on multiple Android devices. Users have commented that the app is crashing or not working properly, especially on Samsung devices. Although the real reason behind this technical glitch is not known, Samsung officials recommend following the below-given steps to tackle them.
- The first troubleshooting method is to check for updates. In most cases, an app stops working properly if it has pending updates. So it is important to check for any pending updates and complete them.
- The next method is to check the app’s permissions. Sometimes the permissions will be disabled if not used for a while. These disabled permissions can be enabled from the app setting.
- Sometimes resetting the app might also help. This can be done by clearing all the caches and data from the app through the storage option in the app setting on the user’s smartphone.
- Updating the Google Play system will also help to resolve the glitches that affect the smooth functioning of the Hinge app on Samsung devices.
