Tinder Matchmaker allows a user’s friends and family to access Tinder to recommend profiles for them. The new feature will help you find out if a potential match passes the “friendship test” and gets the approval of your parents.

“For years, singles have asked their friends to help find their next match on Tinder, and now we’re making that so easy with Tinder Matchmaker,” said Melissa Hobley, Tinder’s Chief Marketing Officer, in a press release.

“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.”

But how does Tinder Matchmaker work? A matchmaking session can start directly on a profile card or in the app’s settings, and users can share their matchmaking link with up to 15 people within a 24-hour period.

Friends and family will have just 24 hours to “play matchmaker” before the session ends, during which they can recommend profiles for the user, but at the end of the day, the user can choose who to actually send a like to.

Tinder Matchmaker is already available in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam, and will soon be launched worldwide.
