Tinder is using AI to find you better matches
Tinder is testing a new AI-powered feature called Chemistry, designed to help users find better matches without endless swiping.
By analyzing your answers and photos, Chemistry curates a handful of highly compatible profiles each day.
Right now, it has been piloted in Australia and New Zealand, though a later report said it was still only being tested in Australia; CEO Spencer Rascoff says it's a big part of Tinder's plans for 2026.
Chemistry vs face check
Chemistry looks at your interests—like hiking or concerts—to recommend people who actually fit your vibe.
At the same time, Tinder has made its Face Check security tool mandatory for all new users in California (after success in places like India and Australia).
The company says this move has reduced interactions with bad actors by more than half and made the app much safer.
$14 million investment in chemistry
Testing Chemistry has cost Tinder $14 million so far and comes as user numbers have dipped a bit.
Still, parent company Match Group beat revenue expectations and is doubling down on marketing—planning to spend $50 million promoting Tinder on TikTok and Instagram this year.
