Tinder Arrives on the Web

Anyone looking for a engagement tin can now sneakily browse Tinder in class or at work without having to pull out your phone and make information technology obvious that y'all're slacking off.

That'due south because, as of today, Tinder is available on the Web in select areas. This means yous tin "swipe from any browser, on any device, anywhere in the world," Tinder wrote in a blog post. Until now, the simply way to access Tinder was via its mobile app.

On the down side, this new version of Tinder is still pretty limited in terms of admission at the moment, and those in the US are unable to join the browser-based fun. Tinder is currently testing it in a handful of countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Republic of colombia, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines, and Sweden.

A Tinder spokeswoman told PCMag that the visitor may bring web access to additional markets, but it depends on how the tests become and what the user response is similar.

It should also be noted that the new online feel is "slightly more express" than the mobile app for at present, Tinder said. On the Web, yous'll encounter a lucifer'due south profile alongside letters, so you can cheque them out as you chat.

The company said this new version of Tinder is perfect for those times when yous're out of storage on your phone or in an area with deadening network speeds.

"Mobile phones not allowed in class? But fire upwardly your laptop and swipe incognito," Tinder wrote. "Cubicle life got y'all down? Now you can toggle betwixt spreadsheets and Super Likes in a flash. 'Not Enough Storage?' Not a problem. Don't let life get in the way of your Tinder game."

Meanwhile, considering some areas still have limited access to Facebook, Tinder is also testing in "diverse markets" the ability to login via SMS directly from a mobile telephone.
