A common question about Hinge is: If you X someone on Hinge can they still see you and like you? If you are wondering the same, we are here to provide a clear answer.
It can be awkward to encounter someone you already know or have previously dated on Hinge. Naturally, you might prefer that they not see your profile. Therefore, it makes sense to wonder what happens if you choose to X them.
In this guide, we will answer whether they can still see and like your profile on Hinge after you’ve X-ed them, and explore additional privacy options available to you on the app. But, before that, learn how to send pictures on Hinge.
If You X Someone on Hinge Can They Still See You and Like You?
Yes, if you X someone on Hinge, your profile will still appear in their stack, meaning they can still see and like you if they choose. However, there are steps you can take to hide your profile from that specific person.
If you want to hide your profile from a specific person, you must remove them when they appear in your stack. To do that, tap the three-dot icon on the right side of their profile, select “Remove,” and follow the on-screen instructions.
What Does "Remove" Do on Hinge?
When you remove someone on Hinge, they will no longer see your profile, and you won’t see theirs, even if you decide to bring back all the profiles you have skipped. It is like permanently erasing your presence from each other’s dating landscape.
What’s the Difference between X-ing and Removing Someone on Hinge?
X-ing someone means you’re simply skipping their profile for the moment - it doesn’t remove them permanently from your potential matches. You will still appear in their stack and they can appear in yours when you bring back all the skipped profiles.
Removing someone is more definitive. If you choose to remove someone, it means you are blocking them from seeing your profile, and you will no longer see theirs. This action is used to ensure that there’s no further interaction between the two profiles.
