Tinder now allows you to find double dates with friends

Tinder officially spear A new feature that will help you find people to double with a friend. The dating service indicates that it is a “low pressure and group” way to date, but really, it is a fantastic option if you prefer to meet someone new with a friend next to you, whether for your safety or anxiety. To use the feature, you will need to press the double date icon and choose up to three friends to create a pair with. As Techcrunch Notes, you can then scroll through other double date pairs that share at least one of your preferences, such as sex and sexual orientation.

A group cat is created with the four participants even if a single pair gets a match, although you can always slide directly on an individual in the group for a cat in head. According to Tinder, the functionality was a success with users 29 years and under when the service was tested. It was also more popular with women, who were apparently three times more likely to love a pair than an individual profile.

Perhaps even more important for the Tinder owner’s owner group, the functionality has been able to obtain new users on board and convince the elders to return to the service. Based on its tests, 15% of users who accepted a double date invitation were either new to Tinder or had recently reactivated. In March, the company announcement It plans to reduce 13% of its workforce as a cost reduction measure after a 5% drop in paid users in the first quarter of the year, which led to a drop in income and equity prices.

It was designed with understanding that most singles are looking for the support of friends when they go out.
