Tinder: why the arrival of incognito mode is very good news

Tinder is setting up an incognito mode which should allow you to go completely under the radar.

The dating application seeks to further improve the user experience while integrating options intended to make the use of this extremely popular network safer.

Tinder in private browsing

Everyone is on Tinder. In any case, it is the impression that one can have by dint of seeing the fiery icon on cell phones and hearing the latest dating stories from his friends. Yes, except that “everyone” also means “those you would never want to meet on this network”. And there are a lot of them, aren’t they?

Coworkers ? Certainly ! Friends ? It’s true that it could be strange. Family ? Brrr… So, to avoid these (absolutely!) unwanted interactions, Tinder will offer you a new option: incognito mode. The latter will allow you not to have to hide your profile to go unnoticed. Indeed, by choosing this parameter, you can always be seen, but only by people whose profile you have liked. The only defect of this possibility is that it is currently only reserved for subscribers to the Tinder Plus service.

More polite language please

If this is the star novelty of the application, it is not the only change introduced. A feature to report an offensive message more quickly has also been implemented. In the future, all you have to do is press on the message and maintain the pressure so that it is sent directly to the teams in charge of moderating the content.

Finally, Tinder has improved its “Are you sure? and “Do you mind?” used to report inappropriate discussions. With the built-in updates, the app will be able to detect more offensive, hurtful or even hateful language. A new way of protecting users for the network, which has already applied particularly far-reaching measures in this context.
