Dating app giant introduces new features to keep up with a ‘new generation of daters’ in the post-Covid world (Tinder/PA)

Tinder is giving users the chance to briefly chat with potential partners before matching as part of new ways to improve the online dating experience.

Until now communication was not possible until both singles had swiped right – the app’s famed approach to showing interest in a person’s profile – unless someone has paid for platinum membership.
