Tinder launches ‘blind date’ experience based on conversation rather than photos

Tinder’s new Blind Date experience (Tinder/PA)

Tinder has launched a “blind date” experience that allows users to select a potential partner based on chat rather than appearance.

The dating app said its “Fast Chat: Blind Date” feature is directed at its Gen Z users – those aged between 18 and 25, who make up more than 50% of its members – who want a “personality first” approach to finding a partner and are seeking “authentic connections”.
