It's something that many frustrated singletons have experienced. But ghosting could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Hinge's latest update. The dating app is testing a new tool called'Your Turn Limits', which is designed to increase daters' focus on quality over quantity of matches. Instead of leaving people hanging, users will be forced to either reply or end conversations before they can start new connections. 'As Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted, the team is committed to getting its users off their phones and onto great dates,' Hinge explained.

With thousands of potential matches, opening up any dating app can feel like wading through a sea of spam and unwanted texts. But now, Hinge has made it easier than ever to avoid time wasters and toxicity by letting users filter out unwanted terms. The new Hidden Words tool automatically blocks'Likes with Comments' containing words, phrases or even emojis, as chosen by the users. And from'Sunday Roast' to'F1', Hinge users have taken to social media to share the phrases and dating clichés that they're sick of hearing about. One X, formerly Twitter user, wrote: 'Finally, a dating app feature I can get behind.'

Hinge is the latest dating app that's making a push into audio. Starting today, users can attach voice clips to profiles, in what's said to be a first for a major dating app. You can also send audio notes to your matches. You can add an audio clip to your profile by going to the Edit Profile section of the settings and selecting Voice Prompt. You can choose a prompt (a question or comment suggested by the app to highlight something about you) and respond with a 30-second recording.

Hinge wants to know about your bad dates. The dating app launched a feature on Tuesday called'We Met' that invites users to share how their first dates went. From there, Hinge will use the data to boost its AI-powered recommendations and help serve up future matches. Hinge wants to know about your bad dates.

Hinge is taking a hard left swipe at its own business model. The dating app relaunched Tuesday from a free swiping app into a members-only company -- for 7 per month. Instead of competing with the likes of Tinder, Bumble and Happn (to name a few), Hinge has rebranded itself as the Match.com While some apps define themselves as a way to "meet people" or "discover people," Hinge is now a relationships app. SEE ALSO: Tinder's new function could get you more matches but it'll cost you "When I started Hinge in 2011, there were no other dating apps period. It felt like at this point, there were so many swipey, game apps, and we were just another one," Justin McLeod, founder and CEO, told Mashable.
