Finding dating profiles isn’t as easy as finding social media profiles because dating sites are a bit stricter regarding users’ visibility and privacy.

However, there are multiple ways we can find someone’s dating profile—workabouts, if you will!

And one of the ways is by using a person’s phone number.

– Keep in mind: a lot of dating apps do the most to protect their users’ privacy.

With social networks such as Facebook and Instagram, it’s possible to look somebody up by using their details.

However, with dating apps/sites, things get a bit more difficult.

You can’t simply look somebody up on the app or site itself—most dating platforms don’t even have a search bar.

So, searching someone’s dating accounts by phone number alone can be a bit tricky, but not impossible.

Swindlerbuster’s phone number lookup feature.

SwindlerBuster is one of the foolproof ways of finding dating profiles, namely on Tinder, the most used dating site in the world.

It has 3 functions:

• Name Searching, which allows you to look up Tinder users by their names;
• Face Searching, a reverse image search feature;
• And drum rolls, please…Phone Searching!

Another very effective method is searching dating sites by phone number is through SwindlerBuster.

By clicking the Phone option, you’re accessing the database of Tinder users who are using their real phone numbers.

• This won’t work if the person you’re searching for is using a fake phone number. It has to be their real one!

6 additional ways to find somebody’s dating profiles using a phone number.

The beautiful thing about being human is being different from one another!

If you’re looking for other ways to find dating profiles by phone number, you can try these in-app and third-party methods:

1. Try logging in with the person’s phone number on the dating site.

So, if we try this method, we won’t actually be able to access their account.

We’ll know if somebody has an account to begin with, and if we’re romantically involved with that special somebody, that’s all we need to know.

To do this, download the app or visit the dating site and punch in the phone number as a way to log in and put down a random password.

If a notification pops up saying that the password is incorrect, then an account with that phone number does, in fact, exist.

2. Check their inbox for confirmation codes.

You can find out if your s.o. is using dating apps by checking their electronics.

A lot of dating apps require a phone number upon signing up, and when provided with one, they’ll send a notification containing the confirmation code.

And, as you guessed, the notification will pop up on users’ phones.

If your partner hasn’t deleted the notification and used a different phone number, you’ll be able to find the confirmation code in these two places:

• Notification center (if you suspect they recently joined a dating network);
• Messages app.

3. Type the phone number in Google’s search bar.

This might sound like a long shot, but when you think about it, it could work…but only for Tinder.

Since many search engines answer questions by showing relevant information, if a person has their number mentioned in their dating profile, the profile can show up.

Type the phone number in Google’s search bar and see if any dating profiles come up.

This only works if the person you want to find has mentioned their phone number anywhere in their profile.

4. On the dating app, “update” your phone number.

In dating apps like Tinder, the same phone number can’t be used for more than one account—let’s use this to our advantage.

After making an account, go to Tinder—or any app/site—and click your profile icon.

Scroll to Account Settings and tap on Phone Number, then Update My Phone Number.

Enter the phone number of the person you’re curious about; if it says the phone number isn’t available, that means an account under it already exists.

• This should work for most dating apps, however, note that if an account with that phone number does exist, the other person could receive a confirmation code.

5. Allow the dating app to sync your contacts.

A lot of dating apps have a feature that allows users to stop their contacts from getting suggested.

Rightfully so—nobody wants to have their friend or relative suggested.

However, if you want to see if someone whose contact you have saved on your phone has a dating profile, syncing your contacts might help you find them.

For a lot of dating apps, it can usually be found somewhere in the Settings area.

• This person may have also blocked your contact on Tinder, in which case, this trick is useless.

6. On Tinder, enable the Friends of Friends option.

If you want to find someone you know on Tinder, say, your friend’s friend, you can enable the Friends of Friends feature.

So basically, how this works is that if you and somebody both have a friend’s contact saved, that somebody will get suggested to you.

To opt in, go to Settings and scroll down to Friends of Friends.

Note that this only works if you and the person you’re looking for have someone in common and have both opted into Friends of Friends.

– Phone numbers aren’t the only option you have.

If available, you may use their name, image, or email as well.

• Reverse search their name and email address on third-party sites.

These sites offer numerous features, including search by first/last name, residential address, email address, or even vehicle.

Simply go to sites such as Swindlerbuster, Socialcatfish, Intelius, Spokeo, BeenVerified, etc, and choose how you want to look somebody up.

• Type their name with the site’s URL.

You can also try typing their name together with the site’s URL—it’s quick, easy, and free.

For example www.datingsite.com/@name.

• Not recommended, but, you can try checking their phone and/or PC.

If you suspect your partner might be on dating apps, as an absolute last resort you can check their electronics.

Of course, I don’t recommend this one bit; the risk is too high and it’s an invasion of privacy.

• Check their browser history.

Once you’ve—somehow—gained access to their electronics, one of the first things you want to do is check the browser history.

In most search engines, you can check the browser history in Settings.

• Check their password-managing features/apps.

Check if your partner has any similar apps or uses search engines’ built-in features.

E.g., go to Google’s Settings, click on the Autofill feature, and go to Passwords.

To sum it all up!

Dating profiles aren’t too visible to the public eye; they’re usually very well hidden and I believe that contributes largely to their popularity.

We’ve all had worries regarding a partner’s loyalty—especially now with the convenience of online dating.

As hard as finding dating profiles by phone number can be, it’s not impossible!

And one of the methods I’ve shared today with you will surely be of help.
