HOW DO YOU USE TINDER PLACES?
Tinder Places is a new feature that lets users find potential matches based on the locations they visit.
To start using Tinder Places, open the mobile Tinder app on iPhone or Android and tap the newly-added pin icon, which sits alongside the Tinder logo at the top of the main window.
If this is the first time you’ve used Tinder Places, you’ll need to opt-in to the feature.
Once you’ve granted the necessary permissions, Tinder will surface a map populated with the places of interest you have visited in the last month.
Tinder Places groups potential matches based on places of interest you have in common. Anyone you've previously unmatched or blocked will not appear in Places
Tapping on a location will bring up any potential matches who have visited the same spot within the last 28 days.
These profiles can be swiped left (to reject) and right (to match) in the usual manner.
The app will send you an alert whenever a new place is added to your Tinder Places profile.
Tapping on the notification gives you the option to remove that particular location from your Tinder Places map.
As a safety precaution, Tinder will only add public places to your profile when it detects that you have left — and private locations are never featured.
Tinder Places is currently being trialled in Australia and Chile.
