Hinge Signals

What does Signals mean on Hinge?

Signals is a profile badge designed to highlight daters whose recent activity shows what Hinge calls “thoughtful participation and follow-through.”That can include how someone explores profiles, responds to interest and continues conversations.

Does Signals mean someone is active?

No—not in real time.An active badge suggests the profile recently met eligibility rules. It does not tell you whether that person is online now, currently swiping, talking to a specific person or still available to date.How should you interpret the badge?Treat it as one limited piece of context. It may suggest that a dater has recently used Hinge in ways the app associates with care and follow-through.

How often does Hinge Signals update?

Hinge says status is based on activity over the previous 30 days and refreshes daily. It is a rolling evaluation, not a permanent achievement. A badge can remain active, become inactive or return as account requirements and recent participation change.If you have just restored Selfie Verification or changed the way you participate, do not expect an immediate result.
