How to Find out if Someone Is on a Dating Site? 10 Ways

There are more “secret” online daters than you might think. 46% of people in the US who use online dating platforms are either married or in a relationship, according to Statista. If you think your partner might be one of them,  it’s a good idea to check out their profile sooner rather than later. So, here’s how to find out if someone is on a dating site.

1. Try Creating a Profile Using Their Email

Most sites, like Tinder, Bumble, and Match, let you set up profiles with an email address. If you know your partner’s email, make a profile with it. If the site says the email has already been taken, your partner probably has an account there (unless someone has hacked their email).

The same goes for phone numbers, so try to pop your SO’s digits into a few popular dating sites and see if anything comes up.

2. Find Dating Profiles Using Google

Don’t have access to your partner’s email? That’s okay. You can still use a simple Google search to see if someone is on a dating site. Simply type “site:domain.com + email address/your partner’s name/username” into the search bar. Replace “domain.com” with the name of the dating site you suspect your partner might be using, such as Match or OkCupid.

3. Use a Catch a Cheater App

How do you figure out if someone’s actually active on dating sites? You don’t want to end up wrongly accusing someone you care about. To avoid that kind of drama, consider using a catch a cheater app.

Spynger is the best tool of this kind. It’s easy to use and allows you to search for a person on multiple dating sites and social media platforms all at once. You can even read their private messages and see shared photos and videos. 

So, here’s how to find out if someone is registered on a dating site with Spynger: 

1. Sign up for Spynger and pick your subscription plan.

We’d like to add that Spynger has all the colors to paint a full picture of your partner’s secret life. This app lets you track locations, monitor calls and SMS, and take screenshots besides checking their chats on dating apps. And it’s completely invisible!

4. Check Their Browsing History

One way to find out if someone is on dating apps is to check their browsing history. If they’ve been on dating sites, you’ll probably see them listed there. Some popular platforms to look for are:

• Tinder
• Bumble
• Match
• OkCupid
• Hinge

If you don’t spot any of these, your partner might be using private browsing or clearing their history often. In that case, you could check out their saved passwords or bookmarks for some hints.

5. Do a Reverse Image Search

Perform a reverse picture search to see if someone is on a dating site. On dating sites, upload a picture of your partner to Google Images or a similar site and look for links. This can also work for their username or any other identifying information.

6. Use the “Forgotten Password” Trick

If you know their username or email, you can try the “forgot password” trick. If it lets you reset the password, they probably have a profile there. Just be careful, though. They might get notified about the change and realize who’s behind it.

7. Run a Reverse Username Lookup

A reverse username search can help you find out if someone has a dating profile. You can use sites like Detectico to check out your partner’s username and see what pops up. They could have profiles on various platforms you weren’t aware of. Here’s how it works: just enter the username, and Detectico will scan over 70 networks to find any matching profiles.

8. Create a Fake Profile

So, here’s a wild idea on how to find out if someone has a dating profile for free: make a fake profile on that dating site your partner might be using. Create a setup with pics and details that would catch their eye. Just to see if they take the bait. If you don’t find them right away, tweak your settings—think age, location, and what they like.

9. Check Their Phone

Okay, so you’re living together and have their phone nearby. Just sneak a peek at their apps real quick. Some apps, like Bumble and Tinder, have unique icons that are pretty hard to miss. Plus, they might be getting notifications from them, so swipe down to find someone’s dating profile notifications about new matches, messages, and more. 

10. Look for New Friends on Social Media

People usually follow new friends they meet online on social media. So, if you see a bunch of new folks following your partner and chatting with them, there’s a good chance they met on a dating site or app. You can check this by popping their followers’ usernames into a search tool like Detectico. It’ll show if they have profiles on popular dating sites.

Final Words

There are so many ways to find someone on dating sites! You can do everything right from the comfort of your device! However, just because you see your partner’s username on a dating site or app, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re cheating.

If you’re after solid evidence, try a spy app like Spynger. This tool is really powerful! It can help you discover the platforms they’re using, check out their chat history, and even see their locations. You’ll get solid facts, just the facts.
