Profile prompts inspired by Hinge
The Match Group-owned app introduces profile prompts, allowing users to display prompts and responses like "The key to my heart is," "The first item on my bucket list is," and "Two truths and a lie."
This feature takes inspiration from Hinge, another Match-owned app that utilizes similar prompts.
Tinder's Chief Product Officer Mark Van Ryswyk said, "With these new profile and discovery features, it's never been that easy and fun to share what makes you unique."
What Next?
Quizzes and info tags for better connections
Tinder users can now create a quiz about themselves for potential matches to learn more about them. This question-and-answer approach is also employed by other dating apps like Hatched.
The app now lets users share basic information through profile tags, like hobbies, pets, drinking habits and astrological signs—a feature reminiscent of competitor Bumble.
Last month, Tinder introduced a feature enabling friends to act as matchmakers by viewing and suggesting potential matches.
