All (mom) jokes aside, this obviously aims to give Tinder users an extra layer of safety. It’s good to let somebody know that you’re going to meet a stranger. For the players out there, there’s no limit on the number of shareable URLs you can create with the new feature, and you can set these in the app up to 30 days in advance.
It’s a date!
This isn’t the first feature of this kind on a dating app or service. Back in 2020, the site Match.com introduced a similar “check-in” feature that let users send details about their date to designated emergency contacts if things were going south.
But it’s not dating apps alone that care about your whereabouts. Back in 2022, Google introduced a location sharing feature in Maps, notifying you when a friend or family member has shown up or left a place.
The new Share My Date feature will be rolled out over the coming months. It’ll be available in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, India, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Italy, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand. What do you think about it? Would you use it just to be extra safe? And since we’re talking about it, can you share the weirdest Tinder date experience you’ve had?
