Tinder brings new user warnings to boost safe dating experience – India TV
Tinder, a dating app has reportedly announced new warnings to provide additional guidance to users, to inform them of inappropriate behaviour along with the immediate opportunity to change their actions to move forward. The new warnings are classified into three categories: authenticity, respectfulness and inclusiveness.
They cover in-app behaviour when engaging with other users, such as harassment, and protect users against advertising and impersonation. The new warnings are rolling out now and will be live globally in the coming weeks.
Globally, online dating is now the most common way for singles to meet new people, with 53 per cent of people under 30 using dating apps.
“These warnings are designed to provide transparency and to alert users when they are not engaging in acceptable and respectful behaviour,” said Nicole Blumenfeld, VP of Trust and Safety Operations, at Tinder.
“By providing greater transparency to users about their behaviour, not only are we enabling them to immediately ‘course correct’ but also foster a better experience for the wider Tinder community,” Blumenfeld added.
Warnings will be served to users in-app within ‘messages’ from ‘Team Tinder’ with an explanation of what violation occurred, as well as broader information about expected behaviour and actions.
When users receive a warning it will remain as a visible message that they cannot delete. Individual profiles are at risk of being removed if users continue to repeat the same violation, said the company.
Tinder has been downloaded more than 530 million times and the app is available in 190 countries and more than 45 languages.
