Tinder’s “Meet the Parents” Feature
“Meet the Parents” is a new feature on Tinder, the popular dating app. It allows you to share your potential matches with your friends and family and get their opinions and suggestions. You can invite up to 15 people to view your matches for 24 hours, and they can see the profiles without having a Tinder account themselves.
They can also recommend some matches for you, but they cannot message them on your behalf. After the session ends, you can review the profiles that your matchmakers suggested, and decide if you want to swipe right or left on them. This feature is meant to help you find the best match for you, with the help of those who know you best. Tinder is available in several countries.
