Tinder's New Boost Feature Helps You Skip the Line, Puts You on Top of the Pack


Tinder, the popular dating app has introduced a new feature called Boost. With the aim of making it easier to find a match, the Boost feature helps you 'put yourself first' in line, skipping it altogether. The feature is paid in the app and is being tested in Australia for now - however, it's unclear just how much the feature costs. If all goes well, the company plans to push the feature worldwide soon.

Talking about Boost, Tinder on its blog said that it will put you on top of the deck for a short period - 30 minutes - boosting your chances to get a right swipe. The company says that boosting can get you up to 10x more profile views, and in fact, after a boosting session also serves up statistics of how many more views you got.

Tinder says Boost can only be activated while swiping in the normal Tinder mode. If you are a Tinder Plus user, you get one free Boost every week. If you don't have Tinder Plus and want more Boost, you can buy it anytime you want. It is quite similar to Tinder's Super Likes feature that also costs you some money, again serving the purpose to be noticed on the app.


If you're desperately single and don't want to loosen your pocket a bit for that sake, Tinder has advised you to be cautious while putting all your time in vain uselessly finding a match. It's quite pragmatic when you are in a metro city with a heap of Tinder matches and want yourself to be on the top of the deck so that you're noticed easily.

Tinder last week partnered Spotify to introduce music preferences in the app to not only let you "show your favourite artists and music preferences, but also to pick the anthem that defines you, listen to other people's anthems and maybe make a little music with someone new."

Spotify and Tinder Swipe Right: Tinder Hooks Up with Spotify to Let You Find Your Musical Match


Tinder users can now show off just how great their taste in music is by hooking their Spotify account up to their profile. Tinder and Spotify announced a partnership this morning to make the integration happen, letting people explore their choice of top artists, as well as a track they designate as their life "Anthem".

Spotify partnered with Bumble to introduce basically this exact same feature back in June. On Tinder, however, it's arriving with one twist: everyone, including people without a Spotify account, will
be able to highlight one song they love right on their profile.

The "Anthem" is the basically background track for your life, or a piece of music that defines you as a person. The anthems can be changed. All Tinder users can add an anthem to their profiles using Spotify, whether or not they have a linked Spotify account. Users can search through the Spotify database, and select a track to be used as an anthem on their Tinder profiles.



The option to link to a Spotify profile is available in the account settings menu. The feature is in the process of rolling out to all 59 markets where Spotify is available.

Thanks to the new feature, you'll now be judged not just on your looks and wierd profile one liners, but also on how 'AMAZING' your tunes are.
