Frequently asked questions
What types of photos work best on Hinge?+

Hobby photos, photos at interesting locations, and photos that reveal your personality or sense of humor consistently outperform generic attractive portraits. Every photo in this collection is designed with conversation-starting potential in mind.
Should I include group photos on Hinge?+
Yes. Hinge explicitly recommends at least one group photo. The key is to be clearly the most visible person in the photo. The "Social and Group Candid" prompts in this collection ensure you remain the identifiable center subject while showing social connection.
