Tinder update to allow users to chat briefly with someone before they match

Care to chat before you swipe left or right? Tinder will roll out an update Tuesday introducing several big features, including the opportunity to chat with potential singles before making a match, the social app announced. The feature, called Hot Takes, is described as a social experience, and the first time Tinder users are able to chat with each other before they match. A timer during the session will tick down, allowing users to choose whether it expires and move on or complete a match. Also coming to Tinder: the option to add videos to their profiles, and an Explore tab where users can find people based on shared interests.
