Authentication-focused online dating platform, Ship, just made "Dating From Home" easier, with its new badge by the same name. The Ship matchmaking app is described as a "friend-powered dating app" that lets users swipe alongside their pals to see and discuss matches in a group chat.
Once users chose the "dating from home" option, the badge will appear on your profile to let potential matches know you are open to arranging remote dates. Plus, the isolation-friendly has made virtual dating even easier (so users don't have to clean their rooms) with it's eye-catching and chic Zoom backgrounds for all your social distancing dates.
This new function will make it easier to find compatible matches that are happy to maintain physical distance during the pandemic.
