Ahead of the Valentine’s Day, Tinder, a dating platform on Tuesday said that it is rolling out several new features for its users including Incognito Mode, Block Profile and more.

The new features rolled out on Tinder aim to make it easier for users to control how they interact with each other and turn the dating experience safer.

Tinder made the announcements on Safer Internet Day.

While the Incognito Mode is a step up from fully hiding your profile, members on Tinder can still ‘Like’ and ‘Nope’ people on the app. However, the feature will change how you are discovered on the dating platform.

The Incognito Mode will make your profile visible to only those whom you have ‘Liked’ on the app. Your card will show up in the recommendations of only those you have swiped right.

However, there’s a catch. The Incognito Mode is a premium feature available only for Tinder+, Gold and Premium members on the platform.Apart from this, Tinder also unveiled updates to ‘Does This Bother You?’ and ‘Are You Sure?’ features, giving members, especially those in the 18-25 age bracket, more control on how they interact with others on the dating platform.Meanwhile, the ‘Block Profile’ feature will launch on Android first before rolling out on iOS during the first quarter of 2023.

With this feature, the members have the option to choose who they want to see on Tinder. Now, when profiles are suggested, before matching, members can block them so they don’t show up again.

“It’s an easy way to avoid seeing a boss or an ex. This new feature comes in addition to Block Contacts and blocking following making a report,” Tinder said.

Whereas Long Press reporting lets people tap and hold offensive messages, launching the reporting flow directly in the chat experience.

This peak dating season, Tinder is also launching ‘Green Flags’ campaign and ‘Healthy Dating Guide’ in partnership with the non-profit NO MORE to promote healthy and safe dating.
