Tinder Launches Group Hangouts, Expanding Dating with Friends From Pairs to Groups
The feature lets up to 15 friends match with other groups and open a shared chat, as Tinder tries to boost real-world meetups.
- On Wednesday, September 30, Tinder launched 'Group Hangouts,' a new feature allowing groups of three or more friends to discover, match, and make plans with other groups around shared activities.
- Tinder's chief product officer, Mark Kantor, stated the feature builds on 'Double Date' mode launched last year, noting that "young singles want their friends in the mix" when meeting someone new.
- Users form groups of up to 15 people, selecting an activity and inviting friends to browse and match with other groups, offering a social alternative to traditional one-to-one profiles.
- Early tests in Australia showed a 40% acceptance rate for group invites, while women were 2.2 times more likely to 'Like' a group profile than a traditional one-to-one profile.
- Tinder seeks to re-engage users amid a challenging period, as dating apps shift toward social experiences like Hinge or 'Rivet,' a social matching app launched by former Tinder executive Taru Kapoor.
