In her viral , TikTok user Iman () talked her followers through the simple step.
"I’ve discovered a Hinge hack that basically cheats the algorithm and gives you the best pick of the bunch, which on Hinge is still questionable but it’s a level up from normal Hinge," she said.

Hinge will ask you: "How about a fresh start?"
According to the dating app, this selection will "refresh your discover feed whilst keeping all your matches."
You will be then prompted to try this option, which Iman advises doing.
She recommended giving your app "a couple of minutes" to reset before clicking back in to it.
"It just basically completely changes the algorithm and the type of people you’ll get shown are completely different," she explained.
Iman revealed that in her experience her options have been "better."
She added that you can do this hack twice in a row to experience what seems like a "different Hinge."
