Overview
- Hinge launched Friend's Take on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, and made it available globally except in India.
- Users generate a unique link they can send to up to 10 people, who do not need a Hinge account to respond and have 72 hours to submit a take.
- Submitted takes can be text, voice notes, photos or videos and go into a private queue for the profile owner to review before posting.
- Some outlets reported a 150-character limit for text responses, but that cap was described in press coverage rather than as a uniformly stated company specification.
- Hinge says the feature aims to boost profile authenticity alongside its Signals and Date Ideas tools, and the company also acknowledged that fake or impersonated takes are technically possible and that owners control which takes are shown.
