Granny can choose your next partner with Tinder Matchmaker, are you up for it?،
Countless generations of young people have become agitated when mom and dad chose partners for them and married them against their will. It’s 2023 and your loved ones are no longer choosing wedding gear for you, but they might be selecting your next Tinder hookup. Ah, glorious 2023.
The world’s most popular dating app is now launching a new feature called Tinder Matchmaking (via The edge). Its name isn’t as revealing as it should be, as something like “Let Granny Play Cupid” should be more appropriate. Let me explain.
Tinder’s new feature – Matchmaker – allows users to invite up to 15 people (whether family or friends) to browse and recommend potential matches to you. Then you get their recommendation lists and it’s up to you whether you should swipe left or right.
This is how Tinder Matchmaker works:
- A Tinder Matchmaker session can be started directly from a profile card or in the app settings. Users can share their unique link with up to 15 friends over a 24-hour period.
- After following the link, the matchmaker can either log into Tinder or continue as a guest (after completing an age verification prompt and agreeing to Tinder’s terms as described).
- Matchmakers have 24 hours to play Cupid before the session expires, where they can recommend profiles to the Tinder user but will not be able to chat or send messages on their behalf.
- Once the session expires, Tinder users will have the option to view profiles that their matchmakers like for them. Profiles that received a Like from a matchmaker will be marked as a “recommendation” (profiles that received a No will not change).
- The Tinder user still decides who to like – but now knows who their friends support.
Tinder Matchmaker is now available in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom -United Kingdom and Vietnam, and will be rolled out to Tinder users worldwide. In the coming months.
So why not let someone else decide your love life for you?
