Tinder pilots Places, a feature that tracks your location for better matches
Tinder will now help you find matches with those people you may cross paths with in your day-to-day life. As promised earlier , the company today is announcing the launch of a new location-based feature that will narrow your list of potential dating prospects to those who hit up your same bar for after-work drinks, or who stop by your favorite coffee shop for their daily caffeine fix, or who work out at your same gym.
The feature, known as Tinder Places, was previously spotted during beta tests. It was being tested privately in these markets prior to now. The plan is to collect user feedback from the public trials, and tweak the product before it launches to all users worldwide, the company says. She says the larger idea here is to present users with potential matches who you already have things in common with, as reflected by the places you go.
Instead, Tinder waits until at least 30 minutes before a place shows up, or even longer. You also can tell Tinder to never show a particular place again after its first appearance.
Your association with a place also deletes from the app after 28 days, not only as a privacy protection, but also because it helps keep data fresh, Stevens says. After all, just because you went to that hip bar a year ago does not make you a person who goes to hip bars.
Of course, a dedicated stalker could make a note of your favorite haunts and attempt to locate you in the real world, but this would require extra effort in terms of writing things down, and trying to determine your patterns. That comes down to a lot of other factors — including, most importantly, that unpredictable chemistry — something neither Tinder, nor any other dating app, can determine — and a set of shared values.
The company has no plans to delete its own records of your jaunts around town. In one place, you get photos of kids, right? And obviously, a lot of ads. And in the other place, you get connected to the most important part of your life.
Meanwhile, a better matching algorithm would be a significant competitive advantage for Tinder, which is today fending off other newcomers, too, not just the desktop web-era dating sites. Given that the industry at large has stolen the swipe to match mechanism Tinder popularized, that seems fair enough. For starters, the feature is opt in, not opt out. But for Tinder, location data on its users holds far more value.
Tinder is a geosocial networking and online dating application that allows users to anonymously swipe to like or dislike other profiles based on their photos, a small bio, and common interests. Once two users have “matched, ” they can exchange. How many dating apps do that? Match. Chat. Date. Tinder is easy and fun—use the Swipe Right™ feature to Like someone, use the Swipe Left™ feature.
