Voice Prompts (Hinge's Audio)

Hinge added voice prompts in 2022. Best practices:

• 10-30 seconds.
• Smile while talking — comes through in voice.
• Use it for storytelling, not jokes.
• Best prompt: "Tell me about your favorite trip" or "What's your weirdest hobby?"

What NOT to Write

• "I'll fall for you if you can [dad joke]" — overused, low effort.
• "My friends say I'm..." — let the prompts speak.
• One-word answers — no hook for a like.
• Generic ("food, friends, fun") — no specificity.
• Negative ("no clingy people") — defensive.

How Hinge Likes Work

Unlike Tinder, Hinge users like specific photos or prompts:

• Tap any prompt → "Like" with optional comment.
• Tap any photo → same.
• Recipient sees what you liked (creates conversation hook).
• Free users: 8 likes/day. Premium: unlimited.
