The feature allows users to meet new people in a group setting, when one circle of friends matches with another.

Tinder, the most popular dating app on the scene right now, is adding a couple of bonus features for the more nervous user. For those looking for love, but too anxious to take on a one-on-one date, Tinder Social might be just what you need. 

The app’s latest update, rolling out to India, US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, brings a new feature that helps you plan group outings. Tinder Social allows you to create a group with one to three other friends, and collectively look for a fun night out.

The group lasts until 12 noon the next day, and lets you update a group status, and even chat with other members. The catch is that, once you have a group, you’re not swiping for other individuals, you’re swiping for other groups. In Tinder’s traditional fashion, if one of your group members swipes right on another group, and one member of that group swipes right for you in turn, the app matches both groups to hang out.

The feature is designed to let users go out and meet new people in a more comfortable group situation. Matches could be because you know someone in the other group, you’re interested in the same hangouts, or maybe you just like the look of them. This is the first time Tinder users will be seeing the new Social feature, after the company tested it out in Australia in April.

Of course, the important thing to remember here is that Tinder uses Facebook verification when you sign up. Therefore, when you activate the Social feature, the friends you add to your group are people you’ve friended on Facebook. Of course, if you’d like to keep your online dating activities secret, you could just not activate Tinder Social.
