Tinder wants you to actually talk to people before you match - The Verge

Tinder’s making some big updates to its app this week, mostly in the name of giving people more context about a person they might want to date.

The app’s getting an explore tab, similarly to Instagram, that’ll let people find different ways to interact with and meet potential matches.

The idea, says CEO Jim Lanzone, is to give people more control when they want it.

“It’s just giving you more options of ways to navigate people, and I think you’ll see a lot more from us down that pathway, as well, putting more control in people’s hands,” he says.
