Tinder launches double date feature so you and your bestie can fall in love together
Tinder's new feature allow friends to go on date in groups
Users can create a shared profile with a friend to swipe on interested pairs
Tinder says the feature will make users feel less pressured on dates
Tinder has announced a new feature called Double Date. The feature allows users to team up with a friend and match with other pairs. Unlike traditional one-on-one swiping, Double Date lets users date in groups by enabling two friends to create a shared profile and browse other duos together. This feature is currently live in the US and select markets, with a wider global rollout planned for July.
According to Tinder, this new feature builds on the company's plans to make dating more social and collaborative. It says the idea draws inspiration from existing community-focused features like Tinder Matchmaker, which allows friends to suggest potential matches, and the Share My Date feature. Both the features, according to the company, have revealed strong user interest in bringing friends into the dating process.
Now, with the new Double Date feature, the platform aims to make dating feel more fun, less pressured, and more authentic for users, the company says. The feature is especially aimed at Gen Z and younger millennial users, who are increasingly said to view dating as a collective experience. How to use Tinder's Double Date feature
To use the new Double Date feature on the Tinder app:
– Tap the Double Date icon on the main card stack screen
– Invite up to three friends and form a duo
– Swipe together on other pairs that match your vibe
– A single 'Like' from either person in your duo is enough to get the conversation started
– Once a match is made, a group chat will be created where users can plan the date together.
Tinder says Double Date is designed to reduce the pressure and small talk that can make one-on-one dating feel like a chore. With a friend by their side, users reportedly feel more at ease.
The company claims that the new Double Date feature has already shown promising results during testing in several global markets. Around 90 per cent of Double Date profiles came from users under the age of 29. This number, according to Tinder, aligns with broader dating trends, where younger people often see dating as more of a group activity and appreciate emotional support from friends during the process.
Not just for users â€' according to the platform, the feature is also helping to boost engagement. Nearly 15 per cent of those who accepted a Double Date invite were either brand new users or returning ones who had recently reactivated their accounts.

AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton reveals the surprising jobs safe from automation — and the roles everybody will lose soon
Geoffrey Hinton is called the "Godfather of AI" because of his important work on neural networks. He used to work at Google. Hinton talked about AI and jobs in an interview on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast aired on June 16, as per reports. He said AI will one day be better than humans at everything. But for now, some jobs are safer. Jobs that need physical work, like plumbing, will stay safe for a long time. Hinton said, "It will take a long time for AI to be good at physical tasks... so being a plumber is a smart choice," according to Business Insider. Which jobs will AI replace soon? Gen Z workers are increasingly choosing blue-collar jobs like plumbing because the job market is very tough. For boring or routine intellectual jobs, AI will replace almost everyone. Hinton, "For mundane intellectual labor, AI is just going to replace everybody." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brought to you by Undo Paralegals are at high risk of being replaced by AI. Working in call centers is very risky, Hinton said he'd be "terrified" if he worked there. To keep a job safe from AI, people need to be very skilled. Hinton says, "You would have to be very skilled to have an AI-proof job", as stated by Business Insider. Hinton sees mass job losses caused by AI as the biggest threat to people's happiness right now. Even if governments give universal basic income, people might still feel unhappy because they lose their sense of purpose without work. Hinton advocates UBI but worries about loss of purpose. Live Events Mass job displacement by AI is likely and is already happening in some ways. AI is starting to take over jobs that recent college graduates used to get. Some people think AI won't fully replace entry-level jobs, but will help humans do those jobs better, as mentioned by Business Insider. Hinton agrees some jobs will be done by humans working with AI assistants, but that means one person will do the work of 10 people, leading to big job cuts. Healthcare jobs might handle AI changes better because there's always high demand for healthcare. Hinton said, "A few areas, like healthcare, will be able to absorb the change." But most jobs are not like healthcare and will not be able to absorb AI disruptions well, as per the report by Business Insider. FAQs Q1. Which jobs are safe from AI? Jobs that need physical work like plumbing and healthcare are safer from AI. Q2. What kinds of jobs will AI replace soon? AI will replace many routine office jobs like paralegals and call center workers.

Panda Connect Launches to Fix a 'Broken' System, Proving a Chair Has Better Odds Than a Bollywood Star on Mainstream Apps
HT Syndication New Delhi [India], June 17: A new connections app, Panda, launched this month to fundamentally challenge today's broken and exploitative online platforms. The app introduces industry-first features like a strictly maintained 50/50 male-to-female ratio and "Panda Duos" for group connections, directly addressing the skewed and isolating environment found elsewhere. Panda was born from the realisation that the current system is "completely off its hinges". This was famously demonstrated by an experiment where a chair given a female profile attracted over 100 likes on a major app, while a male friend--now a Bollywood star--received zero in the same period. The app is built on the principle of fostering genuine, conversation-based relationships and aims to "harken back to the days when relationships weren't a game of super likes and premium accounts, but good conversation". "It turns out that in today's connections world, an inanimate object with a female profile has roughly 500 times better odds than a literal Bollywood-bound model," said founder Zoraver Mehta, a lawyer and classical jazz musician. "That's not just a bad date; that's a system completely off its hinges. We figured it was time to build something that actually works". Panda has already attracted over 10,000 members, 95% of whom are Gen Z , and is the fastest-growing app in its active regions. A New Philosophy for Connection * No Paid Features, No Games: Panda rejects the "pay to win" model. The platform does not commoditise connections and has no super-likes or premium gold and platinum memberships. * A Balanced and Safe Community: Beyond being the only app to maintain a 50/50 gender ratio, it is also the only Aadhar-verified application, using government ID to create the safest possible online experience for its members. * No Secret Algorithms: The app does not use secret "desirability scores" to rank users and incentivize payment. The PANDA Smart AI recommends connections based on a user's application, ideas, and ambitions, not their reception by others. Features for Genuine Connection * Panda Duos: An industry-first feature where the "PANDA Smart AI" helps two sets of best friends match with each other to make for a "fun dinner party". * AI-Powered Compatibility: The app integrates Myer-Briggs personality tests, powered by its Smart AI, to help nurture compatibility among its members. * Authenticity First: Panda is designed for "passionate, motivated, ambitious" people who don't want to waste their time. On Panda, no user--male or female--uses AI to generate their first move, a feature that is intentionally blocked to encourage real, original conversation. Panda was created for a discerning user who seeks to connect with like-minded partners, friends, and gym buddies based on shared tastes and intentions. By focusing on user well-being, security, and trust, Panda is building a community where members can be appreciated for their originality.
