Your mom can now recommend matches for you on Tinder::Tinder’s matchmaker feature lets your friends and family play Cupid for you, but don’t worry, they won’t be able to message anyone on your behalf.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new matchmaker feature on the dating app lets users invite others to review potential matches for them, Tinder announced Monday.
Users can invite up to 15 people to view profiles of potential matches on the dating app.
A profile will be flagged as a recommendation if a matchmaker liked it, but it’s still ultimately up to the user whether to swipe left or right.
“Tinder Matchmaker brings your circle of trust into your dating journey and helps you see the possibilities you might be overlooking from the perspective of those closest to you,” said Melissa Hobley, Tinder’s chief marketing officer, in the press release Monday.
The rollout of the new feature is the biggest news to come out of Tinder since September, when the company announced a jaw-dropping $500 premium monthly subscription available to the top 1% of its most active users.
Match Group, which owns Tinder and another dating app, Hinge, plans to roll out AI tools aimed to help users select their best profile photos and explain why matches are compatible.

/s [not a real quote u guys, relax]
I can already hear my friends indian mom complaining when she’s gonna be a grandmother (my buddy doesn’t even have a GF right now)
.
sounds like my worst nightmare
“Hey mom, can you help me with this hookup app?”
!nottheonion@lemmy.ml material right there.
Edit: I’d much rather Tinder were more inclusive towards different relationship styles and sexualities. The platform is extreme monogamous and hetero oriented. The filtering options are also very limited. There are also an insane amount of bots and joke accounts. It’s also buggy af.
Oh, so now I can recruit other people to help me not get any matches ever?
Fuck Tinder and their shitty marketing schemes. How about they invest money into their customer support so it isn’t complete shit?
