Tinder's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Melissa Hobley said in a statement, "At Tinder, we continue to release new features that aim to create a fun, safe, and respectful experience for all." "Discussing plans with friends and family is a time-honored dating ritual. Share My Date streamlines this basic info-sharing so singles can jump right to the exciting part, from figuring out what to wear to prepping conversation topics." Hobley added. Tinder says the 'Share My Date' feature allows users to share information about their latest match with friends or loved ones directly from the app using a single link. Recipients will be able to access a wealth of information including the match's location, date, time and a photo when they click on the link. What's more, the recipient doesn't need to install the Tinder app to access this information and can view the details through their web browser.
