Tinder Takes On Snapchat, Share Snaps With Your Matches
Tinder is combining in some Snapchat like element to encourage you to use it for more than dating
Tinder has revolutionised the way a lot of people think about dating. Unlike online dating where you have a vast array of information at your fingertips, Tinder has stripped it all away and made it a simple four photo quick process.
Do you like what you see? Swipe right? If not you’ll be swiping left. It’s simple and allows you to decide who to hook up with within a few minutes.
That impulsiveness has been adapted into a new feature in the application called Tinder Moments. It’s channelling some features which made the instant photo sharing app Snapchat so successful. And it seems it intends to become more than just an app for dating.
Now you can share photos with all your Tinder matches and your matches can even press “nope” or “like” and even comment if they wish. On the company’s official blog Tinder says: “With Moments you can swipe through fun Moments shared by your matches and get a glimpse into each others lives.”
It’s much more like sharing a story on Snapchat as the images disappear within 24 hours. It’s private between only you and your matches as well so you can post whatever you wish.
The blog continues, “Capturing and sharing a Moment is designed to be really quick and less intimidating. Tinder Moments expire in 24 hours, so you can be yourself without the pressure of making it perfect. You can just share it raw or apply filters, draw, and add text to you make the most of the moment.”
Tinder insists it’s all for some clean photos to help you decide whether to go on a date, we’re not so certain. The update to Tinder should be on your smartphone before the day is out.
