Hyper-Local Dating Updates

'Tinder Places' Adds Local Habits to the Popular Dating App

As a result of the dominion of app-based dating, some might argue that modern romance has lost much of the personal connection between real people, so 'Tinder Places' is a new feature on the popular dating platform that aims to bring back some of that reality. The feature shows other Tinder users some of the local places that one visits most often, giving more honest insight into the activities that define people.

Whether it's marking local bars, restaurants, fitness facilities, or anything else, Tinder Places is a smart way for users to show the types of things that they like without having to outright say it in one's bio. The feature works automatically, logging the businesses that people have visited, and users have the option to include or exclude what others see.
