5 Ways to Undo a Super Like on Tinder
Tinder’s Super Like feature allows users to express heightened interest in others and, in return, offers a chance for more matches. But what if you accidentally swipe up or tap the blue star on someone’s profile? Suddenly, you find yourself in desperate need of a way to undo that unintentional Super Like. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here are five ways to reverse that awkward mistake.
1. Restart the App
Quick thinking is key! If you’ve just accidentally sent a Super Like, close the Tinder app as swiftly as possible to prevent your action from being logged. Depending on the speed of your device and internet connection, it might take some time for your action to register with Tinder’s servers, providing a small window where you can cut off the connection.
To do this, simply quit the app and then force close it from your phone’s recent apps list. Wait a few moments before reopening Tinder and praying for good fortune.
2. Purchase Rewind Feature
For an easier solution, subscribe to Tinder Plus or Gold – their premium membership options – which include the rewinding feature, allowing you to undo your last swipe effectively. This way, you can ‘rewind’ any accidental Super Like with ease without any mess or stress.
3. Unmatching
If your unwanted Super Like does go through and results in a match, don’t panic. You can always unmatch by going to the person’s profile, tapping the three-dot menu in the top right corner, and selecting ‘Unmatch’. Although this isn’t an ideal solution because they will notice that they received a Super Like from you before disappearing – it’s better than nothing.
4. Honest Communication
Alternatively, embrace honesty and address your mistake upfront if you’re matched with someone after an accidental Super Like. Shoot them a friendly message explaining that it was an unintentional move, and they’ll most likely appreciate your candor. You never know – you might strike up a great conversation and end up with a genuine connection.
5. Time – Just Let It Go
Finally, consider just letting it go without taking any course of action. Chances are the recipient won’t even know who you are, diminishing any potential embarrassment. You get one free Super Like per day, or five with a premium subscription, so think of it as an opportunity to remind yourself to be more careful next time when navigating the app and avoid repeating the same mistake.
No one is perfect, and accidental Tinder interactions are more common than you may think. Don’t let a slip of the finger ruin your experience – follow these five methods to undo that pesky Super Like and maintain your confidence as you continue swiping in search of your next match.
