Overview

• Tinder has introduced Matchmaker, a new feature enabling friends and family of users to recommend potential matches by granting them access to their profiles for 24 hours.
• The Matchmaker feature sends selected profiles to a group of up to 15 people, chosen by the user, for their opinions and recommendations. However, these secondary users cannot like or reject potential matches.
• Privacy concerns have been raised as the feature means up to 15 people can view a profile without needing to log in to Tinder.
• Scrutiny for the selected matches is done within 24 hours and final decision-making remains with the users. Matches approved by the matchmakers will be flagged for the user's consideration.
• The Matchmaker feature has been launched in 15 countries, including the US, UK and Australia, with a global rollout expected in a few months.
