A simple change to your Tinder game could lead to more matches

Success on Tinder is as much to do with how you use it as who you are.

There could be the perfect person/people out there for you, but if you don't find each other as a match, what's the point of hours of pointless swiping? You may as well put an ad up in the newsagents' window. Thankfully, folk at Cosmopolitan have revealed a simple trick to maximising your matches - and it's to do with the time of day you use the app. They explain that the peak hours for amassing the most matches is during 6pm and 9pm - with interaction tailing drastically after 10pm...

Data from Nielsen showed Tinder users are most active around 9 p.m., beginning to spike a few hours beforehand. The research firm found activity on the app begins to heat up around 6 p.m. most days and peaks at 9 p.m., with about 51.64 percent of the audience active in that hour. After 10 p.m., your chance of finding someone to hook up with crashes, with only 6 percent of users swiping. Only 1 percent of users checked the app after 2 a.m.

Sounds like it's less a case of Netflix and chill and more Corrie and flirt.
