Mother knows best! Tinder now allows your PARENTS to view and suggest potential matches
- Tinder Matchmaker allows your friends and family to suggest potential partners
- Luckily, they can’t chat or send messages on your behalf
It’s a parenting question every single person dreads: Are you dating anyone right now?
However, thanks to Tinder’s latest feature, the days of ignoring her questioning could be a thing of the past.
The dating app has launched Tinder Matchmaker, which allows your friends and family to view potential partners and suggest suggestions to you.
“For years, singles have asked their friends for help finding their next partner on Tinder,” said Melissa Hobley, chief marketing officer at Tinder.
“Tinder Matchmaker brings your circle of trust into your dating journey, helping you see the opportunities you may be overlooking from the perspective of those closest to you.”

Many Tinder users already use the “friend test” to assess potential dates by allowing their friends to swipe right or left on profiles.
With Tinder Matchmaker, this test is basically integrated into the app.
A Tinder Matchmaker session can be started directly from a profile card or in the app’s settings.
Whether you have Tinder yourself or not, you can share your unique link with up to 15 friends or family members within 24 hours.
After the “matchmaker” follows the link, they can either log in to Tinder or continue as a guest.
If they access the link as a guest, they will be asked to complete age verification and agree to Tinder’s Terms and Conditions.
Matchmakers have 24 hours to browse the profiles or potential dates. Swipe right if they would recommend or left if they think it’s not a match (stock image).
Matchmakers have 24 hours to browse the profiles or potential dates. They can swipe right if they want to recommend them or swipe left if they think it’s not a match.
Luckily, they can’t chat or send messages on your behalf (so you don’t have to worry about any dad jokes leaking out!).
Once the 24 hours are up, Tinder users can check out the profiles their matchmakers have liked for them.
While the user still has the final say in who they like, they now know who their friends and family are rooting for.
Tinder Matchmaker is now available in the UK, US and other countries. Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and Vietnam.
It will roll out to Tinder users worldwide in the coming months.
