Tinder makes it easier to share date details with family and friends

has unveiled a feature that helps users share their excitement about a date with loved ones and acts as a safety tool. The Share My Date feature allows users to share details about a planned date with a single link.

The URL can point to details including the location, date and time of the appointment, along with a photo of your match and a link to their profile. The page may also contain some comments. You can edit your date plans so that those you share the link with have the most up-to-date information. Dates can be set in the app up to 30 days in advance. For those lucky people who have a ton of matches they make plans with IRL, you can create an unlimited number of dates and share them with your loved ones.

Tinder says that about 51 percent of users under the age of 30 already share date information with their friends, while 19 percent of users do so with their mothers. To be on the safe side, it’s always a good idea to let someone know where and when you’re going on a date, and provide details about the person you’re meeting. Share My Date could simplify the process a bit. In 2020, Match.com let users send details about their date to emergency contacts if things didn’t go well.

Tinder will roll out Share My Date in the coming months. It will be available in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, India, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Netherlands, Italy, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand.
