[Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-it-starts-with-a-swipe) and [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo) are, without a doubt, two of the most popular mobile applications out there at the moment. In a brilliant April Fool's day prank, the two joined forces to create Tinder for Uber, or, conversely, Uber for Tinder. The idea behind both sites is simple: once you get a match on Tinder, you can Uber directly to them to meet (splitting the fare, of course).

Unfortunately, whether you're on Tinder for Uber ("a personal driver for your match") or Uber for Tinder ("a swipe could change your ride"), neither of the sites are real.

Despite its being a prank, this mock service that may be onto something. After all, people are impatient for love these days, and anything that will speed up the connection could be seen as a major time-saving plus!
