Tinder now allows you to go to two dates

Tinder is no longer just a platform for solo dates. The company has announced a new “double date” feature in the United States which will allow you to invite a friend to find – and to match – another pair.

The functionality lives in a new “double date” icon in the upper right corner of the application, where you can invite up to three friends to create pairs. You can both scroll a diet of paired profiles, which appear side by side with photos and descriptions. A match is created when a person of the two pairs slides to the right. Tinder will then open a group conversation with the four users.

The update should help Tinder get an advantage over rivals as a meeting place continue to feel a crisis. It will also allow Tinder to compete directly with platforms designed for double dates, such as Doubble and Fourplay.

Cleo Long, manager of Tinder product marketing, says The penis That the platform has tested functionality in Europe for a “a few months”, adding that it is intended to relieve the pressure of meetings, especially among young users. “It is a social experience first which is really supposed to help relieve part of the pressure that we know a lot of generation Z experiences with dating by making it more social, more fun and by bringing your friends to help strengthen this piece of comfort,” said a lot.

Tinder plans to deploy double dates worldwide in July.
