New feature makes dating more social and friend-friendly
Tinder Launches 'Double Date': The New Way to MakeConnections with Your Bestie Tinder has launched a new feature called 'Double Date', allowing users to pair up with a friend and match with other pairs. The update is aimed at making dating more social and less stressful by turning it into a group experience. The feature follows the success of the dating app's other social tools like 'Tinder Matchmaker' and 'Share My Date', which also involve friends and family in the dating process. With Double Date , users can now explore the app in a more relaxed and supportive way, alongside someone they trust. To use the new feature, users tap the feature icon and select up to three friends to form a pair. From there, they swipe through other duos. If either person in a pair likes another pair, and the feeling is mutual, a group chat is created to help start the conversation. Tinder tested the feature in several countries before launch. Results showed that nearly 90% of Double Date profiles came from users under 29, with Gen Z making up over half of Tinder's global user base. Women using the feature were three times more likely to like a pair than individual profiles, and users sent 35% more messages in 'Double Date' chats compared to one-on-one conversations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The new feature also brought in new and returning users.

Double date with your mate as Tinder launch feature to help Gen Z find love
Digital matchmaking app Tinder launches new 'double date' feature to encourage Gen Z to take their matches offline and into the real world in the hope of finding 'The One' In the current day and age of dating apps, it's becoming harder and harder to have a pleasant and positive experience through the medium. However, Tinder is trying to change that, one app feature at a time. Through its new update which launched on June 17, Tinder is attempting to transform the dating scene with its newest 'Double Date' feature, designed to help users and their friends dodge undesirable dates — and hopefully swipe their way into desirable ones. The fresh feature allows users to team up with a mate to match with other duos, providing a fun and relaxed way to navigate dating together. Whether you're keen to meet new faces or simply enjoy the journey together with some friends, it's a low-stress, group-centric approach to exploring the dating scene side-by-side — something that Gen-Z and millennials are keener than ever to experiment with. Building on the success of features like 'Tinder Matchmaker' and 'Share My Date' - which allowed users to bring friends and family into their dating journey - 'Double Date' transforms the swiping experience into a shared, light-hearted adventure that can relished (or ridiculed) alongside a friend. It's designed to make meeting new people more enjoyable, more social, and far less pressure-filled (gasp, are we still talking about dating apps?) With Gen-Z and millennials increasingly dependent on friends to guide them in an evermore socially awkward environment, Tinder's 'Double Date' function may serve as a welcome relief to alleviate those first-date jitters. How does it work? With the 'Double Date' function, a user can click the icon in the top right corner of the main card stack screen. They can then choose up to three friends to pair up with. Next, all you need to do is scroll through your main card stack and like the Double Date pairs that catch your eye. Only one like per pair is required for a match to be made, at which point a group chat is automatically set up. In the group chat, you can converse as a foursome — and if the chemistry is right — you can arrange to go on a date. The best part? With this new 'Double Date' feature, the post-date recap doesn't have to wait — it can start as soon as the date ends. Tinder's data reveals that during the testing phase of the 'Double Date' feature, women were three times more likely to 'Like' a pair than individual profiles. Furthermore, match rates have significantly increased for those utilising this feature. The data also showed that individual users sent 35% more messages in 'Double Date' conversations compared to standard one-on-one chats. Because let's be honest, everything is 10 times more fun with a friend. The 'Double Date' feature is now available to Tinder users in the US and selected markets, with a global rollout scheduled for July. Perhaps it's time to team up with a friend and prepare your joint swiping strategy?

Tinder now lets you find double dates with friends
Tinder has officially launched a new feature that will help you find people to double date with a friend. The dating service says it's a "low-pressure, group-first" way to date, but really, it's a fantastic option if you prefer meeting someone new with a friend beside you, whether for your safety or your anxiety. To use the feature, you'll have to tap the Double Date icon and choose up to three friends to create a pair with. As TechCrunch notes, you'll then be able to scroll through other Double Date pairs who share at least one of your preferences, such as gender and sexual orientation. A group chat is created with all four participants even if just one pair gets a match, though you can always swipe right on an individual in the group for a one-on-one chat. According to Tinder, the feature was a hit with users 29 and under when the service was tested. It was also more popular with women, who were apparently three times more likely to like a pair than an individual profile. Perhaps more importantly for Tinder owner Match Group, the feature was able to get new users onboard and to convince old ones to come back to the service. Based on its tests, 15 percent of users who accepted a Double Date invite were either new to Tinder or had recently reactivated. In March, the company announced its plans to cut 13 percent of its workforce as a cost-cutting measure after a 5 percent decline in paying users in the first quarter of the year, which resulted in lower revenue and share prices. Double Date builds on the success of Tinder Matchmaker and Share My Date, which "turn dating into more of a team sport," the service's head of marketing, Cleo Long, told TechCrunch . It was designed with the understanding that most single people seek support from friends when dating. At the moment, Double Date is only available in the US, Spain, as well as parts of Latin America and the Nordic region. Tinder is rolling it out to users around the world in July.
