USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

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.


Tinder update to give women control of conversation

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

An upcoming update for dating app Tinder will allow women to initiate all conversations with potential matches. During an interview with Marketwatch, Match Group CEO Mandy Ginsburg said it plans to add a "women-talk-first setting" to Tinder, where any time a woman is matched by swiping right, she starts the dialogue. The setting is similar to one found on rival dating app Bumble. The key difference is Tinder users can choose to flip this setting on or off. On Bumble, women always initiate the conversations.
