Tinder announced a new matchmaking feature to let users seek the help of a friend to select potential partners.
Tinder Matchmaker, as it’s called, will let users share a profile with outsiders for up to 24 hours, and they can like any of the shared profiles to express their suggestions. A good thing here is that the suggesting friends don’t need a Tinder account to do so.
Tinder Matchmaker for Better Suggestions
Hearing the community’s requests, Tinder finally added a matchmaking feature to it’s iOS and Android apps, which let users seek external help in finding their potential partners. Named “Tinder Matchmaker”, the feature will allow users’ family and friends to access the dating app and make relevant recommendations.
Well, a Tinder user should start a “Tinder Matchmaker session” initially that lets them share interested profiles with up to 15 individuals in 24 hours. Once a matchmaker (friend or family) gets a link, they can log into Tinder or continue as a guest to continue to the next steps.
The matchmakers can like the profiles to share their suggestions and let the original Tinder user(who shared) finalise that suggestion. Matchmakers can neither send messages nor swipe right on the profiles they’re shared with. Talking about this feature’s rollout, Tinder’s Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Hobley said;
“For years, singles have asked their friends to help find their next match on Tinder, and now we’re making that easy with Tinder Matchmaker.”
Bumble has a similar offering where a user can recommend a profile to a friend through a private link, who can then share his suggestion for possible pairing. But this setting is more like a one-on-one sharing profile and the suggesting friend needs a Bumble account to do so.
Tinder’s matchmaker doesn’t need a Tinder account for suggestion and it is time-limited. Hinge, another dating app similar to Tinder, launched a dedicated Matchmaker app in 2017. This spinoff is supposed to suggest potential pairings based on who the individuals know personally from Facebook but the idea didn’t last long, as the app was pulled down.
