New feature makes dating more social and friend-friendly
Tinder Launches 'Double Date': The New Way to MakeConnections with Your Bestie
Tinder has launched a new feature called 'Double Date', allowing users to pair up with a friend and match with other pairs. The update is aimed at making dating more social and less stressful by turning it into a group experience.
The feature follows the success of the dating app's other social tools like 'Tinder Matchmaker' and 'Share My Date', which also involve friends and family in the dating process. With
Double Date
, users can now explore the app in a more relaxed and supportive way, alongside someone they trust.
To use the new feature, users tap the feature icon and select up to three friends to form a pair. From there, they swipe through other duos.
If either person in a pair likes another pair, and the feeling is mutual, a group chat is created to help start the conversation.
Tinder tested the feature in several countries before launch. Results showed that nearly 90% of
Double Date
profiles came from users under 29, with Gen Z making up over half of Tinder's global user base. Women using the feature were three times more likely to like a pair than individual profiles, and users sent 35% more messages in 'Double Date' chats compared to one-on-one conversations.

Will Smith alludes to VIRAL Chris Rock Oscar slap in freestyle: "Disrespecting me on the stage, expect..."
Three years have passed since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony, getting him banned from the awards show for 10 years. In his most recent work, the rapper and actor appears to be thinking back on the incident. The Academy Award-winning actor seemed to make reference to the 2022 viral moment during his appearance on Fire in the Booth with British DJ Charlie Sloth earlier this week. As stated by Just Jared, Smith raps, "If you're talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespecting me on the stage, expect me on the stage," in verse two of his freestyle. He goes on, "Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it." Although Smith did not specifically name Rock, his remarks brought to mind the 2022 award show, where he got up from his seat, walked onto the stage, and smacked Rock on live television shortly after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. After the slap, Rock seemed visibly stunned. "Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth!" Smith said as he headed back to his seat. Later, the King Richard actor apologized to Rock in public. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Rayenda Home Value Just Changed (Take a Look) Homes Values Click Here Undo Smith wrote, in part, on Instagram, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive." "My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear, and I reacted emotionally." "I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees, and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams family and my King Richard family, the actor went on. "I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress." In July 2022, several months after the incident, Rock stated that while the slap "hurt," he was "not a victim." Smith appeared to refer to the slap on two different tracks from his first album in 20 years, Based on a True Story, which was released in March 2025. Watch the video below to see Will's full freestyle session.
