Dating app Hinge ditches the Facebook login requirement

Hinge made a name for itself in the crowded dating app market by suggesting matches with friends of your Facebook connections. However, now it looks like the service is swiping left on the social network. Starting today, users on both Android and iOS will no longer be required to use Facebook to log into Hinge. Instead, they can use phone number verification. The rollout (which has been underway since June 5th) is a product of what Hinge users wanted.
