Tinder Social: App launches tool to let people go on dates in groups

• http://www.independent.co, Andrew Griffin

Tinder has launched an app for allowing people to find groups of friends – but has already faced claim that it is embarrassing people and facilitating group sex.

The company has announced that it is testing "Tinder Social", a new feature meant for matching people with groups rather than with one person in particular. And it is already proving controversial.

Since the app relies on inviting Facebook friends along to potential meetups, it allows users to see all of their friends on Tinder who might be interested in coming along.

But that means that it exposes everyone who is on the dating app – whether or not they want to be found out. It also makes it easy to look at friends' profiles on the site, making it a perfect way for "your Facebook friends [to] laugh at your bio at Tinder", as one Twitter user pointed out.
