Tinder offers video calls with its matches -

After having offered to locate anywhere on the globe to facilitate meetings despite confinement, Tinder is still adapting to the health crisis by introducing video chats.
Now, users who have matched will be able to meet virtually and chat, before being able to see each other in real life when the situation related to the coronavirus pandemic has improved.
A feature that could be difficult to pass to some users, but Tinder wants to be reassuring.
First of all, it is imperative that both users accept the video call for it to be launched.
Both people will be visible on the screen, so everyone can check what the other is seeing.
Additionally, in the event of abuse or inappropriate or unsolicited behavior, users will still be able to report the person and turn off the feature.
After three months of testing in 13 countries, Tinder has ensured that the new feature has met with great success and that the feedback from the community is positive.
Better than nothing
Thanks to "Face to face", users will be able to verify that the people with whom they are speaking look like their photos, but also if the current goes as well in "real" as in writing.
This new feature is obviously an attempt by Tinder to keep its users on its application and prevent them from meeting on another videoconferencing app such as Zoom, WhatsApp or Skype.
If Tinder rolls out video chats to all corners of the world, it will certainly take a few days for the update to arrive here.
Once that's done, just tap the camera icon in a conversation with a match to send a video call request, hoping the other accepts it.
