Tinder: premium user can use app without being seen – 02/08/2023 – Tech

Tinder announced the launch of an “Anonymous Mode”, in which Plus, Gold and Platinum package subscribers will be able to use the application without revealing it to the public — in this option, the profile appears only to users who receive likes. The resource is available from this Tuesday (7).

This feature is part of an update package aimed at improving security and privacy in the application, according to a company statement. Tinder added the possibility of making complaints directly in its chat and says that it will soon launch the option to block other users before the profiles indicate mutual interest – the so-called match.

The incognito mode gives the user full control over who sees their account, which allows them to avoid being found by co-workers, friends or other people with whom they have relationships. “Members can still swipe right and left, but only those they liked will see them in their recommendations.”

The subscription cost of the relationship app varies from BRL 15.90 for the Plus version to BRL 49.90 for the Platinum version.

Available to all participants, the option to block profiles even before the match will serve to avoid unwanted people. “It’s an easy way to avoid seeing a boss or ex. This new feature goes beyond contact blocking and blocking after creating a report.”

Tinder claims to have developed more than 15 security-related innovations. “The app has actively partnered with partner NGOs [que atuam por equidade de gênero e causas LGBTQIA+]such as No More, Rainn and Glaad, to advise and guide work in the security space and ensure that best-in-class features and policies are implemented.”

To report someone directly in the chat now, you need to tap and hold the offending message for a few moments. “By streamlining this flow, Tinder hopes that more members will report bad behavior. That way, the app can take appropriate action against accounts that violate community guidelines.”

This Tuesday’s update also improved the bad language filters. Since 2021, the dating app has an algorithm that detects messages that could cause harm and sends stamps to both the sender and the sender.

The submitter is asked “Are you sure?”, to be able to rethink whether the content is abusive. According to Tinder, this feature reduced the circulation of offensive messages by 10%.

To the receivers, the application asks “does this bother you?”, to collect a possible complaint. The alert increased complaints about messages with harmful language by 46%, according to the app’s statement.

Tinder updates try to respond to scams, such as the famous Tinder Scam series, and other abusive relationships that may start on the app. A BBC Brasil report showed that 9 out of 10 kidnappings in the state of São Paulo start on dating apps.

“We are continually working with expert partners to expand our safety capabilities and educate those entering the world of online dating to form healthy relationships early on,” says Tinder Vice President of Product Integrity Rory Koll.
