But a new update means you can finally link your Instagram account to your Tinder profile too. Users who choose to integrate their Instagram profiles will be able to display the 34 most recent photos, the Los Angeles _Times_ [reports](http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-tinder-instagram-20150414-story.html). According to Tinder president Sean Rad, a “substantial percentage” of people on the popular dating app already list their Instagram handles in their bios. “It will help you better understand who the person is that you’re talking to,” Rad [told](http://mashable.com/2015/04/15/tinder-revamps-profiles/) _Mashable_. If you’re a Tinder user with a private Instagram account, no worries: there’s an option to display your photos within your Tinder profile without changing your Instagram privacy settings. So if you want to attract a quality mate, your Insta game better be on point. Also, now is the time to figure out which filter makes you look the best. ### Why New Yorkers Are Getting Matched With Dogs on Tinder  Social Tees/Tinder  Social Tees/Tinder  Social Tees/Tinder  Social Tees/Tinder  Social Tees/Tinder   Social Tees/Tinder ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3822848/instagram-photos-tinder/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3822848/instagram-photos-tinder/"},"headline":"You Can Now Link Your Instagram Photos to Your Tinder Profile","datePublished":"2015-04-15T16:18:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:44.597Z","description":"Attract potential mates with those dope brunch pics","url":"https://time.com/3822848/instagram-photos-tinder/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Technology"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt37e2c7c8016c02f4/6987848f3c1639459a4525bf/ap594696899261-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt37e2c7c8016c02f4/6987848f3c1639459a4525bf/ap594696899261-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tinder App","caption":"Tinder App","creditText":"Franziska Kraufmann—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3822848/instagram-photos-tinder/","name":"You Can Now Link Your Instagram Photos to Your Tinder Profile"}}]}] ```
