Are you trying to change your location on Hinge? The popular dating app only lets you explore users in one area at a time, even if you travel elsewhere. However, you can update the location you initially set in the app at any time, even changing it to areas where you are not physically located. This wikiHow guide will teach you everything you need to know about changing your location on Hinge.
Things You Should Know

- Tap the pencil icon next to your profile picture on Android or iOS to begin editing the location listed on your profile.
