Remember Tinder Social? Users Recall Dating App's Forgotten Group Feature

A recent viral video by content creator Alex Weitzman has sparked nostalgia among long-time dating app users, recalling Tinder's forgotten 'Tinder Social' feature. Launched around 2016, this innovative function allowed users to create groups with friends and swipe on other groups for double dates or group outings. Weitzman, a 28-year-old, detailed how the feature enabled group matching and facilitated group chats to plan activities like concerts or pub crawls. She highlighted its success in fostering social connections, even sharing a personal experience of meeting a long-term partner through the platform. 'It was a really great way to meet people,' Weitzman stated in her video. 'I think I actually met a guy that I like ended up dating through this feature.' However, Tinder discontinued 'Tinder Social' in its initial format. According to an article referenced by Weitzman, the company stated that the feature 'didn't fit cleanly with our future direction,' which was primarily focused on romantic, one-on-one relationships rather than group interactions. The video serves as a reminder of a unique chapter in dating app history, prompting discussions among users about the evolution of online social platforms.
