Where Does Hinge Store Matches and Messages?
Hinge keeps profiles and matches in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Hinge profiles live server-side. Prompts, photos, matches, and messages attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session and cached profiles.
Subscriptions follow the store account with restore steps. Verification badges re-check per device. Both phones show identical matches after login.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Hinge to a new phone?
Log in on the new phone. Matches, prompts, and preferences sync from the account. Standouts and roses follow the same login everywhere.
How do I export Hinge data?
Request the data download from account settings. It covers profile, messages, and activity beyond visible screens. The sandbox copy is a cache, not the record.
