Question: are likes the same as matches on tinder?
Answer: You swipe right, a dating app synonym for “like”, or your like can “like” you, but you won't know if they like you unless you've already liked them. Basic no-frills Tinder won't tell you who likes you in advance of you liking them. A “match” is when you both like each other. You've swiped right and so have they.
