Overview
- Tinder launched Group Hangouts in the U.S. on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, and is rolling the feature out in phases to select additional markets.
- Groups of three to 15 people choose an activity, join a shared profile that appears in Tinder’s main card stack, and can browse and Like other groups to open a shared group chat when matches are mutual.
- The app includes safety and control tools that let members leave a conversation without exiting the group and let any participant block or report others.
- Early tests in Australia showed about 40% of Group Hangouts invitations were accepted and women were 2.2 times more likely to Like a group profile than an individual profile, results Tinder says follow positive signals from its earlier Double Date tests.
- Tinder frames Group Hangouts as part of a push toward social, in‑person dating as rivals add similar features, a move the company hopes will boost engagement and reverse recent declines in revenue and monthly active users.
