Tinder Photo Upload Failed: How to Fix It

tinder keeps rejecting my photos. i get an upload failed error or the photo just doesn’t appear after i select it.

tried different photos. tried from camera roll and from google photos. tried on wifi and mobile data. none of it makes a difference.

is there a specific format or size requirement tinder actually enforces? i’m uploading standard iPhone photos so i wouldn’t expect that to be the issue, but maybe it is.

people who’ve fixed this recently: what actually worked? the app support page is useless. looking for what specifically caused the failure and how you resolved it.
