Tinder During Coronavirus
The coronavirus’s unfolding impact on Tinder and the online dating landscape in 2021 is fascinating to watch. Here are some stats on Tinder usage during the coronavirus pandemic:
- Tinder users made 3 billion swipes worldwide on Sunday 29 March 2020, the most the app has ever recorded in a single day (source).
- In the UK, daily conversations rose by 12% between mid-February and the end of March (source).
- New sign-ups for paid subscriptions declined in the U.S. when the country entered lockdown in late March and only began to pick up as states gradually reopened.
Since physical meetups aren’t going to get back to normal levels anytime soon, Tinder has been tweaking its features to better facilitate virtual dating.
In April, Tinder temporarily took down the paywall of its “Passport” feature, which allows users to “unlock” location information and digitally meet people anywhere in the world.
Tinder has also launched its one-on-one video chatting function in June in an attempt to attract more users.
