Tinder will switch to Video Chat. A way of settling the question of the measures of physical distancing which prevail in this period of health crisis. The information was given during the presentation on Tuesday of the quarterly financial results of the Match group, which publishes the application, reports The Verge . With this new tool, users who have matched always have the choice of sticking to the chat in writing or going through a virtual video meeting.
However, implementing the functionality could pose problems related to online harassment. As Tinder can take care to moderate the texts in the written messages, it seems difficult to monitor live video calls, explains 01Net . The application has not yet given any indications on the subject.
An increasingly popular application
Furthermore, despite the confinement, it would seem that users have continued to make many contacts. During this period, the average number of “swipes” per day increased on Tinder to reach records.
In general, the volume of daily messages generated by the products owned by Match, namely Tinder, Hinge, Match.com and OkCupid, increased by 27% in April compared to the last week of February, specifies The Verge .
