- Tinder has said that it will soon allow its users to perform background checks on potential dates.
- Users will be able to view a person's possible criminal history by entering their username or phone number.
- This would include arrest records, history of violence and abuse, restraining orders, and other crimes.
- This new feature will initially only be available in the U.S.
- Tinder is owned by Match Group, which also owns Plenty of Fish, OK Cupid, and Hinge. These other services will receive the same background check feature in the future.
