Tinder is a dating app, so the natural assumption is group dates - but the announcement blog post seems more aimed at platonic get-togethers. There's also broader confusion as to the purpose of Tinder Social. Tinder VP of communications and branding Rosette Pambakian told Business Insider: " Any users who would prefer not to be added to groups can opt out of Tinder Social through their settings. We are only testing it at this point, but it's important to note Tinder's not a secret considering 70% of users download Tinder because their friends recommend it. You can also view which of your friends are already in a group. From there, you can go on to match with other groups and have group chats over the app. Here's how it works: You click the "Start a group" button to create a group, and it takes you to a list of your Facebook friends who have the app. This means you're added to public lists that all of your Facebook friends with Tinder can see when making groups - even if you didn't want to broadcast the fact that you use the app.įacebook friends (of either gender) on Tinder can also add you to groups without your permission, and from there view your full Tinder profile. "Whether you’re looking for groups you share common interests with, or you’re looking for a completely new adventure, Tinder Social is a better way to go out with friends," a blog post announcing the feature explains.īut the feature is automatically activated for users in the test group, rather than being opt-in, multiple Tinder users who have the trial told Business Insider. Tinder Social, which is only being tested in Australia for now, is intended to let you organise group events with friends and other groups of new people. Tinder is experimenting with a new feature that lets you organise group dates - but people have reacted with alarm after realising it also shows you a list of all of your Facebook friends that use the dating app, and lets you view friends' Tinder profiles.
