Everything you need to know about Tinder Reading Confirmations

What exactly are Tinder Reading Confirmations?

Tinder Read confirmations are simply put Your Blue Whatsapp ticks in the chat. It lets you know when your match has opened your message. You will then see the magic word "Read" with a time stamp under your last message.

But before you enthusiastically open the champagne: this feature is not free. You have to purchase Read Confirmations separately, even if you already have a premium subscription. Tinder knows how to make you pay for that extra info.

How do they work?

Okay, this is how to use Tinder Reading Confirmations:

1. Purchase: Purchase a package of Reading Confirmations. They are sold in bundles of 5, 10 or 20.

2. Activate: Go to your conversation, scroll to your last message and tap the blue checkmarks. Then select the Read confirmation option.

3. Result: Once your match opens your message, a read notification appears. Thats it.

Note that if your match has disabled the Read Confirmation feature, you won't see anything. Gone money? Not quite, you can still use that Read Confirmation somewhere else.

What does it cost?

Of course, this fun doesn't come for nothing. The cost of Reading Confirmations depends on your location, age and a smattering of Tinder algorithms. An average estimate:

- 5 Reading Confirmations: approximately €15

- 10 Reading Confirmations: about €20

- 20 Reading Confirmations: approximately €30

So, on average you pay between €1.50 and €3 each time you want to know if your text has been read. Not cheap, but perhaps priceless insight for some.

Are they worth it?

The million-dollar question. Read affirmations can come in handy heeeeeeeeally, but think carefully about how you use them. Here are a few scenarios:

- "Read" but no response: painful. Maybe your match is busy, or just not interested. It doesn't guarantee a response.

- "Not read": This could mean that your match hasn't seen it yet. But it could also be a subtle ghosting tactic.

In short, Reading Affirmations give you a glimpse of what's going on, but they don't solve the core question - interest or not. Use them as an additional tool, not an emotional lifeline.

Alternatives? Free and simple.

Do you really need Read Confirmations? Why not move the conversation to WhatsApp or Instagram? Both apps offer free read notifications and are often nicer for long conversations. Extra benefit: If she reads your message and doesn't respond, at least you don't have to spend money on it.

Conclusion

Tinder Reading Confirmations are an extra if you can't resist curiosity. But they are not cheap and do not offer a magical solution to your dating dilemmas. So my Advice would be to stay far away from these, and remember that there are always free alternatives.

Pro-tip: If you spend more time sending great messages and less time fretting over read notifications, you'll probably get more responses. 

Peace,
