Solo dates? So last season. Tinder’s latest feature, Double Date, is flipping the dating script. Designed for low-pressure connections and high-energy banter, this new group-first tool lets you and a friend browse, swipe, and chat with other dynamic duos together. The idea? Make dating a little less awkward, a little more like a spontaneous group hang — with potential.
How it plays out: profiles appear side by side, complete with bios and photos, giving you and your friend just enough context to spark curiosity. A match is made when at least one person from each pair swipes right.
Gen Z and younger Millennials are the most excited about the feature and new way of dating. According to Tinder’s data, nearly 90% of Double Date profiles come from users under 29.
