No Tinder Ads – Get Rid of them
The only official way to get rid of Tinder ads is to pay for either Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold subscription. When you have an existing subscription to either of them, you will not see any ads between swiping profiles.
If you are subscribed to Tinder Plus you also get other premium features not available for free users such as 1 free Tinder Boost per month, 5 Super Likes per day, Passport, etc, and if you are a Gold subscriber, you also get access to Likes you and 10 Top Picks feature.

Why is Tinder selling ads anyway?
We believe the main goal of allowing advertisers to promote their products or services was not to get more revenue but to get annoyed users to buy a subscription package on Tinder.
As it is well known, Tinder is one of the highest-grossing apps both on Apple Store and Google Play. They make much of their revenue out of premium subscriptions, as advertising revenue accounts for only 3% of their total revenue.
Tinder ads for advertising businesses
Tinder is also a great placement option if you want to advertise a business, especially it is a great way to reach young demographics. Users can’t use ad blockers on Tinder, so you can be sure that you will be able to reach the users.
