Hinge Introduces 'Match Note' for Private Sharing of Personal Details with Matches

The new feature aims to support LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent users by allowing them to disclose sensitive information privately after matching.

Hinge's new 'Match Note' feature lets users privately share personal details with matches that are not visible on their public profiles.
The feature requires matches to acknowledge the note to start a conversation or gives them the option to unmatch after viewing it.
Hinge developed this tool to address challenges faced by underrepresented groups, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent users, in online dating.
Examples of use include transgender users disclosing their gender identity, neurodivergent individuals sharing communication preferences, and sober daters setting expectations for alcohol-free dates.
In testing, 83% of trans and non-binary users reported that Match Note improved their ability to present themselves authentically on the app.
