Chennai – Dating just got more fun with friends. Tinder just launched Double Date — a new feature that lets you and a friend pair up and match with other pairs. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or just enjoy the ride together, it’s a low-pressure, group-first way to explore the world of dating side by side.
Building on the success of features like Tinder Matchmaker™ and Share My Date — which invite friends and family into the dating journey — Double Date transforms the Swipe® experience into a shared, lighthearted adventure you can enjoy alongside a friend. It’s designed to make meeting new people more fun, more social, and way less pressure.
Where Gen Z Goes, Dating Follows: Tinder tested the feature across key international markets and found that nearly 90% of Double Date profiles came from users under 291 — a clear sign of strong adoption among Gen Z and younger Millennials. This isn’t surprising, given that Gen Z makes up over half of Tinder’s global user base2 and often approaches dating as a team sport.
How Does ‘Double Date’ Work?
Activating Double Date is simple and fun. One tap. Two friends. Double the fun:
- Invite Friends To Pair Up: Tap the Double Date icon in the top right corner of the main card stack screen, then select up to three friends to create a pair with.
- Match Together: Scroll through your main card stack and Like the Double Date pairs that match your energy.
- Only One Like Per Pair Needed To Kick Things Off… And Boom! If there’s a match, a group chat is created.
- Make Plans with Low Pressure: Limit the small talk and stress. Because dating shouldn’t feel like a job interview.
And It’s Working: Women who used Double Date during testing were three times more likely to Like a pair than they were individual profiles, and match rates have been significantly higher for those using the feature.1 Similarly, individual users sent 35% more messages in Double Date conversations compared to typical one-on-one chats.1
Not only did Double Date drive stronger engagement during testing, it also helped attract new and returning users — nearly 15% of those who accepted a Double Date invite were either new to Tinder or recently reactivated.1
Whether you’re getting ready, meeting someone new, or catching up after the date, Double Date makes dating feel more fun, social, and supportive—especially for women and younger users.
Tinder is proud to keep evolving how people connect by creating authentic, light-hearted ways to meet new people. With Double Date, the post-date recap doesn’t have to wait—it starts as soon as the date ends.
Tinder users can now try out Double Date in the US and select markets, with a global rollout planned for July.
