TINDER, THE DATING app that lets you swipe right to like someone or left to dismiss them, is making a big change to this process.
Users can now swipe up on a user’s profile — to “super like” them.
The feature has been trialed in Australia for the past several weeks and is touted as a way to indicate that you really like a match.
In a blog post published in September, Tinder says that based on tests, if you “super like” a user, you’re three times as likely to match with them, and conversations that start with a super like are 70% longer on average.
You get just one super like a day, and they don’t carry over. After that, if you want more, you will need to pay.
TechCrunch reports the new feature is rolling out across the globe.
One TheJournal.ie staffer and fan of Tinder found that the update has arrived to Irish users.
Tinder has been wildly successful. It’s estimated that in Ireland one in ten people have a profile.
Since its launch, it has grown to become the dominant dating app, off the back of its radical simplicity. No complex questionnaires, no personality tests, no real customisation options — just a short bio, a few photos, and you’re off.
Tinder has made small alterations over the years. When it launched Tinder Plus, its premium paid version, in March, it introduced the ability to undo left-swipes and to set your location to a different city. But the overall formula has remained largely unchanged.

Put the heavy things at the back I said, not the front.
@Alan Byrne: locking pin for front gear appears to have been put in incorrectly.
Slow news day eh
They’ll probably hold an enquiry, but it seems plane enough.
Even planes are taking the knee now
Any word on the 4 dead pilots from British airways ??
@Larry Williams: one died from covid having spent the over 8 months in hospital. Looks like another was a biking accident. Not sure about the other 2, but it’d be great to stop making assumptions and wait until facts come out……
@Anthony Keenan: BA have also since confirmed that none of the 4 are linked and none relate to the vaccine
@Larry Williams: Two are certainly not linked. One was a bike accident, another was from complications having spent over a year in hospital in the States following an illness.
@Anthony Keenan: Take what they say with a pinch of salt. The BBC also tried to cover up Lisa Shaw’s death until her family went public. Now another reporter, Dom Nugent, is dead after “a short illness”. 11 weeks after the vaccine.
@Dave: yeah because dead after a short illness was never heard of before covid
@johnny onion eye: You keep pretending to yourself that all of these deaths of young, healthy people have absolutely nothing to do with these jabs if you want. They also said Lisa Shaw’s death was from a short illness also until her family spoke out.
@Larry Williams: bunch of w4nkers, I never mentioned anything about vaccine, but you jumped to conclusions, a$$ holes as always
@Larry Williams: Call us whatever names you like, but it’s looking like they were vaccine related. Someone mentioned the one that died from a bike accident as if it can’t be related. The autopsy shows he died from internal abdominal bleeding not consistent with the accident. Abdominal bleeding, like clots, is another much more common occurence than is being reported.
I see Ryan Air gave started to sneak those doggy Boeings across the Atlantic.
@Bala mc blaha: bow wow!
The McVities weren’t at rhe back.
Even planes are taking the knee now
@first_timer: this would be a second timer post
