Tinder just bought a Snapchat-like video app
With Tinder's acquisition of collaborative video messaging app Wheel, the swiping app of choice may soon offer more than photos of available people in your area. Tinder expanded beyond dating last July with the introduction of Tinder Social, which connects groups of friends to hang out. As Business Insider notes, Wheel is similar to Snapchat's "Live Stories," which allows users to post to a public feed of themed videos.
Tinder Social helps you and your crew mix and mingle
Tinder is working on a feature that will enable groups of friends to meet groups of new people while on a night out. The idea behind Tinder Social is that you and your chums will start planning your Friday night a few days in advance. The system will then try to match your #squad up with a similar one so you can all go hang out together. By making the connection ahead of time, you'll all be able to break the ice and call shotgun on prospective partners well before the festivities kick off. The feature is currently being trialled in Australia and the company is pledging to bring it to the rest of the world in due time.
