This feature will encourage users and provide suggestions based on their interest, their social activities, etc. and help to improve interest-based geolocation matches.

Although, app developers can allow users to choose their preferred region or location and find their matches apart from getting the current location from their devices.

03. Matching AI Algo

Rather the outdated random profile suggestions, Tinder use different algorithms to suggest best suitable profiles to users. When a user creates a new profile, the algo searches the suitable profile on the basis of profile ratings.

The app uses a scoring system, where the number of likes or right swipe counts as the rating, more likes means the higher profile score. Although, matches can also be suggested on the basis of similar interests, similar locations, and similar count of scores.

04. Swipe Surge

A single left or right swipe can mark a score for the profile, as the right swipe means user likes the other profile and left means user dislike it and wants more options. Although, there should be an undo option, as sometimes swipe happen accidently.

Tinder introduces that feature and recognized 15x higher user activities with a 250% increased match ratio.

05. Setting and Matches

User can set their preferences such as gender, age, region, religion, or interest, on their profile, and filter their suggestions based on it as these kinds of online dating platforms usually have a huge database.
