Good News For Tinder Citizens: You'll Soon Be Able To Have Video Chats

Tinder has already announced a new update for the app - an inbuilt one-on-one video chats feature. As it turns out, this forthcoming feature is said to be the biggest upgrade for this year. Because the app has put itself in the limelight with a massive number of users, video chats are also at risk of being ideal places for some types of misbehaviors. 

Unlike texting, harassment and abuse problems are not easy to do on video calls. The team is considering developing a sensitive image tracking system and asking for a third party’s help. Users will also have to get along with this new feature instead of dating in person. We have yet to get any further information officially provided by the company. 

Moreover, the company introduced new features in the time of the COVID-19 outbreak where meeting in person is impossible due to lockdown orders. In the phase from February to April, it has noticed that the average number of swipes and sent text messages from under-30 female users across all of its dating platforms (Hinge, Match.com, OkCupid) has increased by approximately 30%. 

In addition, there was also a notable decrease in first-time paying users this year in those months and got back to normal in April. 

It is undeniable that lockdown orders accompanying the pandemic have a big impact on people’s dating life. If this still goes on, perhaps they will have to wait until meeting each other in person is available. 

In its earnings note, the company also mentioned their belief in the nonstop demand for human connection and that without their products, single ones could barely struggle through this social isolation as crowded places to meet up with people was closed.
