The Traveler Alert feature notifies members when they enter a country where the LGBTQ community faces penalties. This alert activates immediately upon their arrival in these countries.

When this notification appears in the app, members can choose to hide or display their profile during their stay. If a member stays visible on Tinder, the app hides their sexual orientation and gender identity until they leave the area.

Tinder keeps upping the dating game with its new feature: Swipe Night.

"AYS?" stands for "Are You Sure?" It is a harm reduction feature in Tinder, where the app will prompt this text when AI detects harmful or offensive language on your messages before it successfully sends to the receiver.

On Tinder, most users sign up or verify their account using their mobile numbers. With Tinder's new feature Block Phone Numbers, you can now block mobile numbers of people you personally know from seeing you on Tinder. The new feature allows you not to match with your family members, co-workers, or exes if you wish!

Also, Block Phone Numbers gives you the power to not match with a person again – you now have the option to block that person's phone number so even if he or she creates a new account with the same number, it won't show up on your potential match list ever again.

Members can have a conversation before they have matched. Both parties will be shown a topic that they have to give an opinion on and choose from multiple choice answers. They will then see each other's response and have a conversation based on them. This game is available to play every evening between 6 pm and midnight local time.

This section will contain additional modes, features, and games like Hot Takes, Passport, Swipe Night, Tinder U and Festival Mode, and Pet Mode.

'Work Mode' is a special feature of Tinder where you can use the dating app on your office desktop during work hours. When someone approaches, just a click of the briefcase icon will change the screen from the Tinder interface to a fake project project management tool with made up graphs and notes about meetings.

'Work Mode' does not stop Tinder Activity from being tracked by professional screen mirroring software though, but it is a nice feature to have if you're bored at work.

If you need a date for a wedding, Tinder’s new feature called “Plus One” pairs users with similar interests that can be brought as a plus one. This feature can be accessed in the Explore tab and is free to use by all members.

Tinder has strengthened its security features by innovating how members can report sexual violence. Tinder has partnered with US anti-sexual assault organisation RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) to develop the redesign of this trauma-informed reporting process, which aims to give survivors more authority over what step they want to take next.

The latest addition to the popular suite of Fast Chat features on Tinder, Blind Date is a new social experience that pairs members before allowing them to view each other’s profile, making conversation, rather than photos, the first impression.

Tinder has partnered with No More, an organisation which looks to end domestic violence and sexual assault, to produce a ‘Guide to Healthy Dating’. The guide gives a series of tips for singles, including advice on consent, respect, and safety. 

The guide is split into two sections, the first covering tips for online dating, followed by some reminders for when meeting in real life. 

The relationship goals feature allows users to signal what exactly they’re looking for. Some options include a long-term partner, short-term partner, new friends, or still figuring it out.

Tinder's "It Starts With a Swipe" campaign aims to showcase the potential for meaningful relationships on the platform, challenging the commonly held perception that it is only used for casual hookups. The campaign seeks to redefine Tinder as a platform that facilitates connections between people who share common interests and values rather than just physical attraction.

Through this campaign, Tinder hopes to encourage more people to use the platform to find long-term relationships and to showcase the diverse range of people who use Tinder, emphasizing the inclusive nature of the platform. Ultimately, the goal is to show that the possibilities for meaningful connections are endless and that it all starts with a swipe.
