Tinder Has Dropped A Bunch Of New Features After Concerns For Women’s Safety On Dating Apps

Tinder has introduced a slew of new safety features on its app to help people avoid abusers and report harmful behaviour, which comes off the back of a push to make dating apps safer for women. As of today, Tinder users can now block a profile when it’s suggested. Previously you had to match with someone to block them, which seems kinda counter-productive if it’s someone you were already trying to avoid, like a jealous ex. This feature is launching in addition to the already existing “Block Contact” feature which lets you block someone via their phone number. It will also be easier to report abusive behaviour on the app, with the introduction of “Long Press Reporting”. Now you can report a message directly in your chat by holding it until the prompt to report it comes up.
