Tinder rolls out Double Date feature: Here's what is the feature and how to use it
Popular
online dating app
Tinder has rolled out a new feature called Double Date. This new functionality of the app allows you and a friend pair up and match with other pairs. Building on the success of features like Tinder Matchmaker and Share My Date — which invite friends and family into the dating journey — Double Date transforms the Swipe experience into a shared adventure.
Tinder says the feature caters especially to Gen Z users, who often treat
dating as a social experience
. During testing, nearly 90% of Double Date profiles were created by users under 29, and women were three times more likely to like a pair compared to traditional one-on-one profiles.
Tinder is aiming to make dating more casual, less awkward, and ultimately more inclusive—especially for younger and female users. 'Double Date' offers a way to ease the pressure of first encounters by turning dating into a team-based, supportive experience.
What is Tinder's Double Date feature and how it works
You can easily activate the Double Date functionality. Here's how to do it
Invite Friends To Pair Up: Tap the Double Date icon in the top right corner of the main card stack screen, then select up to three friends to create a pair with.
Match Together: Scroll through your main card stack and Like the Double Date pairs that match your energy.
Only One Like Per Pair Needed To Kick Things Off... And Boom! If there's a match, a group chat is created.
Make Plans with Low Pressure: Limit the small talk and stress. Because dating shouldn't feel like a job interview.

Mondays are for hustle, Fridays for AI: Study reveals why Gen Z wants bots to do the boring stuff
iStock A new Grammarly and Talker Research study reveals that American workers are losing over three hours a week to repetitive tasks, with productivity peaking on Monday mornings and crashing by Friday noon. (Image: iStock) In a revealing new survey by Grammarly, conducted in collaboration with Talker Research, American knowledge workers have offered a striking glimpse into their daily grind—and what they desperately want to leave behind. With productivity peaking at exactly 11 a.m. on Mondays and plunging into a nosedive by Friday at 12:06 p.m., the data shows that the modern office worker may be more reliant on caffeine and coping mechanisms than ever before. But as frustration brews, one thing is becoming crystal clear: artificial intelligence might just be the escape route everyone is hoping for. The survey, which polled 2,000 American employees working in knowledge-based roles, revealed that the average worker faces a barrage of 53 tasks a week that derail their productivity. This task overload adds up to over three and a half hours of 'lost productivity' every single week—a steep cost in time and efficiency. And what are the culprits behind this loss? Repetition and monotony. A staggering 44% of respondents admitted to 'hating' the repetitive aspects of their jobs. The discontent is especially strong among Gen Z employees, with 57% reporting deep dissatisfaction with mundane tasks, compared to just 42% of Gen X workers. Enter AI, not as the job-snatching villain of workplace anxiety, but as the hero workers are actually rooting for. Sixty-two percent of participants said they're eager to use AI for certain tasks, and the enthusiasm is highest among younger employees. What do they want AI to do? The wish list is pragmatic and insightful. Nearly half the respondents (49%) said they want AI tools that are easy to use. Over a third (35%) want help drafting emails, while another third said they'd love AI support for data sorting and meeting note-taking. Simplicity, autonomy, and integration with existing workflows are top priorities—indicating a growing demand for AI solutions that fit seamlessly into daily routines. Heather Breslow, Head of UX and Marketing Research at Grammarly, summed it up: 'By minimizing the tedious tasks that get in the way of true productivity, AI users have time to focus on more meaningful work that requires their judgment, creativity and care.' Despite widespread willingness to embrace AI, the corporate world appears sluggish in response. Only 38% of the surveyed workers said their companies have a clear AI usage policy. Yet half of all respondents—and a whopping 67% of Gen Z workers—wish their workplaces were more proactive in integrating AI tools. This enthusiasm stems from hope, not fear. Sixty-four percent view AI as a career growth opportunity rather than a threat. An overwhelming 76% believe AI will become essential in corporate roles—and they expect that transformation to become reality in just three and a half years. Grammarly's report sounds a clear alarm for employers dragging their feet on digital transformation. As Breslow notes, 'For organizations to stay competitive in a landscape where everyone is harnessing AI, they must actively invest in helping their people use it well.' That means structured upskilling, thoughtful tool integration, and a cultural shift toward creating AI super users—teams empowered not just to adapt, but to thrive in an AI-powered future. Whether it's sorting spreadsheets, drafting meeting notes, or simply eliminating the dread of repetitive clicks, the message from the workforce is unmistakable: Let the bots take the boring stuff. We've got better things to do.

Love me Tinder, the long and short of it
Tinder has introduced a 'height filter' for its two highest subscription tiers in 'limited' parts of the world including India. The feature will allow women to filter out men below their preferred height. This has led to much debate about 'superficiality' on social media, arguably the most superficial medium. If you're the type who wants to have it all, there's Tinder Platinum, where 'preferences show you people who match your vibe but won't limit who you see - you'll still be able to match with people outside of your selection.'Critics have pointed out the slippery slope: why not then add a weight preference? Or a preference to do with bust size, or other body measurements? To be fair, we have built-in filters. There's a reflexive and instinctive element to who catches one's eye in the dating jungle. Tinder will claim it's only trying to fine-tune a pre-existing list of real-world filters is never-ending: race, money, authority, power, physique, ambition/lack of ambition, hair/lack of hair, brains/lack of brains, EQ, style, charm, swag, cars, bikes, bicycles, bum, nerd, jock, smoker/non-smoker, drinker/non-drinker, LDL, LFT, hobbies, tastes in cinema, music, sports, literature, politics, dietary preference... In India, one can throw in the state you belong to, caste, language, skin happened to the phrase 'sex appeal'? It was a subjective catch-all term, which seems to have gone out of works in mysterious ways. Someone who falls for tall men will fall for them, regardless of Tinder's policy. When it comes to sex, there's a live-and-let-live principle at work - if you're not causing harm to anyone and the dealings are consensual and above board. The June issue of Baffler magazine, for instance, features a story on female wrestlers and schmoes - men who are turned on by them. The relationship is mutually beneficial.I knew someone who didn't like women who had long nails. He made his then-girlfriend chop off her nails. He married someone who keeps her nails short. After stick-on nails became popular, he had to go into reverse this height apartheid. How about shorter men dating taller women? It's considered a little odd. Unless you are French. Better still - a French president, like Sarkozy or Hollande. I had a relationship with a girl much taller than me, and it was one of the best. People stared, for sure. Their problem, right? It's also somewhat true that tall women don't have an issue with men shorter than they are. It's more like men get intimidated and don't approach them. That's half the battle men come in different varieties. 'Tall and skinny' is different from 'tall and buff'. I don't know about the bedroom, but in real/reel life, tall buff men are relegated to being the security detail, or banished to being action heroes. They'll never get to play Bob Dylan in a other day, I went to catch a gig at a venue called 21 Bodyguard. The place was crawling with burly men in uniform, who were hired by the management to stand around and stick out in the crowd. They looked sad and bored.I would be of average Indian height. When standing in a crowd at the theka, I'm slightly taller than the rest. Height is such a relative thing. It's easier to be taller than average in India, the land of short men, but not so in I noticed about my tall ex-girlfriend was that she was at ease walking into fast-moving traffic and crossing the road. I'd be left standing on the other side for a good 20 minutes. It holds true for tall men. They can cross the road at a time and place of their choosing - a valuable skill to have in Indian traffic. Here's hoping it helps them at the busy Tinder crossroads, too.
