What happens when you cancel a Match on Tinder?
Canceling a Match is a permanent action. According to the Tinder Safety Center, when you cancel a Match, you and the other person disappear from each other’s dating lists. In other words, you will no longer see or be seen by the person with whom you broke off correspondence.
Keep in mind that this measure is irreversible, so think carefully before making your decision. Any conversations you had with this person also disappear from your Tinder messages. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover these messages. Finally, note that Tinder will not notify the person when you cancel the match. The only way for her to realize this is to monitor if the communication has been interrupted.
How to report and block users
Canceling a Match is different from reporting a person. If you encounter problematic behavior and want to report it, click the three-dot icon located in the upper right corner of the user’s profile or conversation and select “Report” instead of the option to delete the match. You can also choose to block the person.
Reporting is also permanent and results in the person being removed from your matches and news feed. Moreover, if you need advice on how to protect yourself from romance scams, Tinder has already set up an awareness campaign on the subject.
