Tinder to Release New Share My Date Feature

Dating app Tinder has announced that it will be rolling out a new feature which allows users to share their date plans with friends and family directly from the platform. With one link, users can share the location and time of their meetup, as well as a photo of their match.

According to a survey, 51% of singles under 30 already keep their friends informed of the details of their dates. Furthermore, 18% of Tinder users share the details of their date plans with their mother.

In light of this, Tinder will roll out the ‘Share My Date’ feature across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, India, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Netherlands, Italy, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand in the coming months.

With a simple link, users can share key information such as the date’s logistical details, as well as a photo of their match, straight from the Tinder app. Users will be able to create an unlimited number of dates within the app up to 30 days in advance.

“At Tinder, we continue to release new features that aim to create a fun, safe, and respectful experience for all,” said Tinder CMO Melissa Hobley.

“Discussing plans with friends and family is a time-honored dating ritual. Share My Date streamlines this basic info-sharing so singles can jump right to the exciting part, from figuring out what to wear to prepping conversation topics”, Hobley shared.

While this feature can help build that pre-date discussion, it also has value for offline safety. Other safety measures being rolled out by Tinder include ID verification and in-app warnings to promote good behaviour.
