Although the app was originally launched as a social media app, people mostly use it as a dating app because of its ‘swipe’ feature.

Many dating apps offer this feature. It allows you to swipe left and right to check different profiles and send friend requests to people who you think share the same interests as you.

Bypassing Wink SMS Verification Codes with PingMe

Like other social media networks, Wink is a safe application. But still, your data is never 100% safe on the internet and can get leaked by hackers.

When you put your personal phone number on this platform, your number can get leaked and cause serious threats. Also, you never know whether the stranger you are talking to on the Wink app is trustworthy or not. Therefore, it is best to avoid using your personal phone number to receive SMS Wink. Instead, use a Wink virtual phone number to stay safe and use the app however you want.

Here is the step-by-step guide on requesting a Wink virtual phone number using the PingMe app.  

Step 1:

Download the PingMe app to your phone. Download and install the Wink app as well if you have not downloaded it yet.

Step 2:

Open the PingMe app and go to its navigation bar. Locate and press on the ‘Verification’ option.

Step 3:

Now fill out the options that appear on the screen. In the first option that says ‘Select the App/Website to Validate,’ you need to select the ‘Wink app’ from the dropdown menu to receive a Wink verification code on a Wink virtual phone number.

In the next option that says ‘Select the Country/Region,’ you need to select the country whose Wink virtual phone number you want. You can request Wink virtual phone numbers of Canada, the UK, and the USA using the PingMe app.

Now tap the ‘Select a Phone Number to Send/Receive SMS.’ Press the ‘Next’ button.

Step 4:

Copy the Wink virtual phone number located under ‘Please Use Following Phone Number to Validate.’ Open the Wink app and go to its verification settings. Paste the phone number to receive SMS Wink and have a Wink verification code.

Step 5:

You will receive SMS Wink in the empty text box in the PingMe app. Note down the Wink verification code and paste it to the verification settings.

Now use the Wink app without any worries!

Sometimes users do not receive SMS Wink. If that happens to you, make sure you request a new Wink virtual phone number. For this, follow steps 2 to 5 again.
