Tinder is the most used dating app in the world and probably the best way to find a date or a relationship online. But a service with so many users is bound to have some hiccups from time to time, and failed login attempts are a very common Tinder problem.
You are required to sync your Tinder account with Facebook when signing up. This helps Tinder match you with people of similar interests, who are close to your geo-location. Facebook is the most popular social media platform. The logic is if you are on Tinder you are probably also on Facebook.
If you get a message like this “Facebook login canceled” when you try to log into your Tinder account, don’t worry. Keep reading and find multiple solutions for Tinder not working with Facebook permissions.
Getting Started with Tinder
If you want Tinder to work properly, you need to take some steps to avoid any errors when registering.
If your Google account is synced with your phone, there shouldn’t be any problems. You will notice that your Google account is out of sync when you get a sync error dialog box, which may cause apps like Tinder to misbehave.
Make sure the app is always updated. With the latest version of Tinder, everything should go smoothly. If you have problems with Facebook permissions, updating should be your first step.
Also, sync your device time and date to work properly, this is very important for Tinder to work properly.
Tinder and Facebook Permissions Fix
Many people complain about having issues with Facebook permissions while using Tinder. You might get a Facebook Login Cancelled message while logging into Tinder. This is a reoccurring issue, in spite of the fact that Tinder claims they fixed it last year.
Resetting your password may cause problems with Facebook permissions, especially if you use another device (not your smartphone) to change the password. This refers to more than just changing your Tinder login info – issues may arise if you change your Google or Facebook passwords too.
Follow these steps for a solution
- On your smartphone, access the Phone Settings menu (gear icon).
- Move to Applications and then tap on Manage Applications.
- Find your Tinder app and click on it.
- Select Clear Cache and Data.
- Finally, reboot your smartphone and wait for a little while before turning it on.
Try to log in to Tinder again. Usually, this method works, but you still have another backup method to try if it doesn’t.
Alternative Fix for Tinder Facebook Permissions
In case the problem persists, you might need to take these additional steps to solve it. You should do a clean install of Tinder and change permissions for it on Facebook. This is how to do it:
- First, you need to uninstall Tinder from your smartphone. This won’t delete your account, only the app data stored on your phone.
- Now open your Facebook account via a browser or the app.
- Go to Settings.
- Select Apps and Websites.
- Turn off the permission for Tinder and then turn it on again.
- Log off Facebook on your phone (where you use Tinder).
- Log back into Facebook.
- Go to App store or Play store and download Tinder again.
- Install it and log in via Facebook.
This should be a definite fix for Tinder login problems.
In case you don’t want to link Tinder with your actual Facebook account, you can create a fake one, just for this occasion. This also works if you left Facebook or never used it in the first place. Not everyone likes sharing their privacy on Tinder, which is understandable.
Final Notes and Tips
Keeping your Tinder app up-to-date is the number one way to avoid any issues with your login. Reinstalling it is the other solution, followed by a system reboot. Some users have encountered issues logging into Tinder using their mobile data, so make sure you’re using a Wi-Fi connection to log in.
