Tinder's new feature: members could state what they are looking for

New Delhi: Allowing users to express what they are looking for, Tinder rolled out the "Relationship Goals" feature on Friday.

The dating app's new feature will reach all its members by January 5, 2023, Tinder said.

Kyle Miller, Vice President of Core Product at Tinder, said in a statement, "Young singles, who make up a majority of Tinder, are increasingly becoming more intentional with who they spend their time. In fact, 72 per cent of Tinder members said they're looking for someone who knows what they want."

He said, "Relationship Goals give members more control over their interactions and allow them to match with more intention without missing out on a connection they wouldn't have made anywhere else."

The company further said that it's testing of the feature in select markets inferred that above 50 per cent of members have added Relationship Goals to their profiles.

Members could tap into their profile settings to choose from six intent options -- Long-term partner, Long-Term, open to short, Short-term, open to long, Short-term fun, New friends, or Still figuring it out.

The company said, "As members are on the app, they'll be able to see what potential matches have been selected on their profiles and make better connections for all the right reasons."
