Tinder has launched new safety features in response to the rise in sexual harassment and domestic violence but there's a catch to some of the measures. 9News
across Australia and the majority of those who online date have faced some form of abuse or harassment, data shows.Tinder is launching new safety measures to prevent sexual violence on the platforms.
The app is introducing new features including "incognito mode" which is a "step up from fully hiding" a profile.The catch - this is only available to premium members who pay to use the app.Block profile is a feature where users can block a profile before matching so that person doesn't come up again.
"By simplifying this flow, Tinder hopes more members will report bad behaviour, allowing it to take appropriate action against accounts that violate the Community Guidelines," Tinder said. Tinder said the nudge is to make users reflect on whether it is appropriate to send the notification or not.Meanwhile the "does this bother you" nudge is the flipside, encouraging users to report inappropriate conversations.
