If you’ve been in a long-term relationship, you might not have had the chance to dive into Tinder, the app that’s changed the game for dating and casual connections. If you’re not familiar with the swiping process, don’t worry—there’s now a website that can help you uncover whether your partner is secretly exploring the dating scene.
Meet Swipebuster
Swipebuster is a newly launched site that specializes in searching Tinder for accounts belonging to your significant other. By providing details like their name, age, gender, and location, you can discover if they’re swiping right on other people. For just $4.99, you can run up to three searches, revealing matching profiles, photos, the last time the user logged in, and their relationship preferences—whether they’re looking for men or women.
Swipebuster gathers its data from Tinder’s A.P.I., or application programming interface. According to reports by Vanity Fair, this information is readily accessible to anyone with a bit of technical knowledge. The site’s creator, who prefers to stay anonymous, emphasizes that their goal is not just to expose cheaters, but to highlight how much personal information is available online without people’s awareness. “There is too much data about people that people themselves don’t know is available,” they stated. “Not only are people oversharing and putting out a lot of information about themselves, but companies are also not doing enough to let people know they’re doing it.”
The Reality of Dating Apps
While this is a valid and important point, let’s be real: most users visiting this site are likely looking for confirmation about whether it’s time to end a relationship due to infidelity. Dating apps like Tinder have garnered a reputation for enabling cheating. Although Tinder claims that only about 1% of its users are married, a survey by GlobalWebIndex suggests that as many as 42% of users are currently in a relationship, and 30% are actually married. That’s a staggering number of potential cheaters.
The fallout from events like the Ashley Madison hacks has shown us that many are willing to gamble their relationships for a little online flirtation. Swipebuster makes it harder for those looking to misbehave to go undetected. While it serves a purpose, it’s also a bit disheartening that such a service is even necessary. It highlights not only the carelessness with the personal information we share online, but also the way we often neglect the sanctity of our romantic relationships as well.
