Articles about Tinder
Tinder is an American online dating application that allows users to anonymously swipe left or right on displayed profiles to dislike or like them respectively. Profiles generally comprise of short bio, a photograph, and personal interests. Once users match, they can message each other on the Tinder app. Tinder first launched in 2012 as a startup incubated by Hach Labs. By 2014, the platform recorded around 1 billion "swipes" per day. Users can sign up for this using their Facebook account or phone number. Today, Tinder is available on iOS and Android. Additionally, Tinder displays potential matches based on the profile's geographic proximity to the user. The platform operates in the freemium business model where users can sign up and get started for free but highlighting their profile and other similar services are available for an additional in-app purchase. Meanwhile, the company has been criticized for its safety issues, data privacy concerns, and even public health concerns.
