Ahead of Valentine's Day, dating app Tinder has rolled out several new safety features. These new features will give users more control over how they interact with others. Some of the features that the app is getting are chat in Incognito Mode, Block Profile, Long Press Reporting and others.
Incognito Mode on Tinder will let users fully hide their profile. Members can still 'Like' and 'Nope' in the app, but only those whom they've Liked will see them in their recommendations. In short, the users will have complete control over who will be able to see them while they scroll through profiles on Tinder. Tinder has also unveiled updates to 'Does This Bother You?' and 'Are You Sure?' features. These features give its members more control over how they interact with others. This will be extremely helpful for users in the 18-25 age group.
