Today, Tinder unveils Double Date, a feature that enables users to collaborate with friends and connect with other couples. It’s currently available in the U.S., with a worldwide launch expected next month. Some users have already spotted the Double Date feature online.

To access it, click the Double Date icon (two smiley emojis) on the main screen and invite up to three friends to create a pair. After that, browse profiles and Like other couples.

In the settings, you can choose to emphasize Double Dates or opt-out from viewing them. You can also choose to show up on your friend’s profile or the other way around, as demonstrated in a user video.

Double Date expands on Tinder’s Matchmaker, which allows loved ones to recommend profiles, and Share My Date, enabling users to share dates with friends and family.

Women trialing Double Date were three times more likely to Like a couple than single profiles, according to Tinder’s 2025 statistics. Match rates have been considerably higher for those utilizing the feature, as highlighted in the app’s press release.

Users engaged in 35 percent more messaging in Double Date chats compared to standard one-on-one interactions. Almost 15 percent of those who accepted a Double Date invitation were new or recently reactivated users.

In testing, nearly 90 percent of Double Date profiles originated from users under 29. This aligns with CEO Spencer Rascoff’s strategy to reshape Tinder’s image to appeal to more Gen Z users, as half of Tinder’s users belong to Gen Z as of 2024. Rascoff intends to steer the app away from its hookup reputation, noting that young adults are participating less in sex and alcohol compared to previous generations.

Rascoff is also introducing “product principles” at Tinder, including “fewer likes, better types.” He expressed on LinkedIn, “Users do not seek more matches; they want higher quality ones… We are creating a more intelligent experience that highlights the right person, at the right moment.”

Tinder recently attracted attention for experimenting with a height preference as a paid feature, reigniting discussions about height and dating.
