In order to make finding a date a little easier, a new [Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-explore) update was launched. While the app's former version showcases a [user's photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dating-photo-ai) along with their bio and interests, the new update will showcase images more prominently to make the interface look more aesthetically pleasing and to make swiping left and right faster.

When users arrive to a profile they find interesting, they can simply tap either side of their screen to go to the next photo with the new Tinder update, rather than clicking into the first image and then searching from there. If users want to read a bio and discover any common interests, they can tap on the bottom of the image they're on to open a profile.
