Hinge, unlike other dating apps, allows you to send photos in your conversations. We will show you in this blog post how you can send photos, gifs, and videos in your Hinge messages without violating the photo rules.
However, as a lot of users have taken advantage of this feature in the wrong way, Hinge has also developed a feature called Private Detector that helps detect NSFW nude photos so you can uncover those photos at your own responsibility or decline checking them and report the sender.
Hinge Photo Rules
Hinge photo profile rule requires you to add six photos so that people can like them and start conversations based on them individually. With this, they can really tell what kind of photos illicit the most positive reactions.
Here’s what every single one of your Hinge profile photos should be: Your first photo should be of you looking into the camera, smiling, with no sunglasses or hats on. Your second photo should be a full-body shot, and your third should be a casual pic of you.
You absolutely can send photos on Hinge. It is a unique feature of Hinge as on most dating apps similar features have been disabled or never developed as too many users sent offensive or NSFW type, sexually explicit photos.
However, this is not an issue on Hinge, as a feature was developed recently that makes it more costly to send lewd photos. When you send photos in your messages, the photos you send will be watermarked with your name and a picture of your face on the image. This feature makes people rethink if they really want to send a dick pic to one of their new friends.

Hinge Image Detector
Hinge Image Detector is a free feature that detects lewd images using AI and notifies the user that she might have received a sexually implicit Picture. This way users can ignore the blurred-out images easily if they prefer doing so.

Hinge blurs out every Picture sent through the app, they still introduced this feature to make it even safer for female users to use the app.
