Tinder's New Matchmaker Feature Lets Friends and Family Recommend Potential Matches

Tinder's Matchmaker feature provides an opportunity for up to 15 people to offer insights on potential matches within 24 hours. The new feature has launched in 15 countries including the US, UK, and Australia, with global expansion foreseen within months.

  • 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.
