Tinder Explore section-

In addition, the dating app will offer a new Explore section that will let users discover new folks on the platform based on shared interests. Tinder cited that the new Hot Takes and other in-app events will be integrated with the Explore section once it is released in the coming weeks. There will be a new Festival Mode which is designed to connect people attending the same festival.

“A new generation of daters is asking for more from us in the post-COVID world: more ways to show off their authentic selves, more ways to have fun and interact with others virtually, and more control over who they meet on Tinder and how they communicate.” Tinder CEO Jim Lanzone commented on the new features.

Tinder video option-

Tinder will also enable users to now add a video to their profile besides their photos. “Video gives Gen Z a new way to tell their authentic stories and represents the evolution of Tinder into a multi-dimensional experience that mirrors what dating looks like in 2021.” As per the company, the Gen Z makes up more than 50 percent of its user base.

While the add-ons are nothing new, given Tinder’s rival Bumble and Match’s Hinge already have the video feature that fueled the growth as per CNBC. However, these are welcoming features for users who prefer using the app over the other platforms.
