You can check this by logging out of Tinder and try to login back again. If you can login with your Facebook account, you most likely signed up with your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_age_on_Tinder_when_you_created_your_account_with_Facebook\"><\/span>Change your age on Tinder when you created your account with Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you signed up for Tinder with Facebook and your first name is not displayed in the right way or then it is because your first name is also not correct in Facebook. So if you want to get this corrected you have to do this in Facebook, as Tinder pulls the name data directly from Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can change your name on Facebook:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open up your Facebook account<\/li>\n<li>Click on the down-pointing arrow in the top-right of the page<\/li>\n<li>Click settings<\/li>\n<li>Scroll to General settings where you can find your name<\/li>\n<li>Make the desired change<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cReview changes\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Enter your password and click \u201cSave changes\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If everything went smoothly when you restart your Tinder app, your new name should display correctly. Congrats, you have changed your name in your Tinder account.<\/p>\n<p>Another option if you don\u2019t want to or can\u2019t change your name in your Facebook account is to make a second Facebook account that you would only use for Tinder and set up with a name you would want to have on Tinder. In this case you also have to make a new Tinder account.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_age_on_Tinder_when_you_created_your_account_with_a_phone_number\"><\/span>Change your age on Tinder when you created your account with a phone number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you created your Tinder profile without Facebook, with only a phone number, this means that you had to add your name when you signed up and you most likely made a typo when adding your name.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in the previous method, you can\u2019t correct this name in your Facebook account, your only option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/delete-tinder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delete your current Tinder account<\/a>.
