Hinge Hidden Words Features

Given how many unwanted messages some people get, low-effort comment and the like, Hinge implemented a feature allowing users to block comments containing specific words, phrases or emojis.

To add words, phrases, or emojis to your Hidden Words list:

  • Go to Settings > Safety > Hidden Words
  • Select the words you do not want to see in comments

Items in your hidden words list can be updated any time.

What Happens If You Receive A Like With A Comment Containing A Word, Phrase or Emoji In Your Hidden Word List?

It will appear in your hidden likes with note ‘hidden comment.

You can then choose to skip, match or report the profile.

Will The Send Know If Their Comment Was Hidden?

No, they will not be notified.

Is Hidden Words On Hinge Optional?

Yes, it is completely optional, for now but given how Hinge has operated, expect nothing/anything.
