'Social media is filled with people showing off the best moments of their lives, so it's pretty rare for someone to open up about something as raw and emotional as a breakup,' she said. I Tried Tinder Passport, and Here's What HappenedĪnd as Hinge's on-camera talent, Dunn also uses its Instagram to open up about her own dating experiences, both positive and negative, including her recent breakup. This lets them voice their opinions and share their own experiences. And instead of giving advice via the Hinge Instagram Story segments, she introduces different topics and opens up the conversation to its followers.

Hinge is the app that's 'designed to be deleted,' meaning they want you to find true love and stop using the app. Hinge feels like more of a friendly community of people going through the same dating woes instead of a harsh swipe culture.
