Facebook is down as well, and users posted on Twitter hoping to turn to their Tinder accounts to pass the time.
While some hopefuls said, “With Facebook and Instagram down girls will have no choice but to match with me on Tinder,” others realized the app was failing them.
“Tinder must be town too, nobody’s replying to my hilarious openers,” one person tweeted, while another said, “I just realized, this is the reason I’ve not been getting any matches. Tinder has been down for so long guys.”
