With large segments of the world population in lockdown mode, and with no indication that quarantine guidelines will subside anytime soon, there’s a strong chance people across the world will be stuck at home for the next few weeks. The situation is unprecedented and will, for many many people, be a lonely and isolating experience.
To help alleviate the impact of self-quarantine and foster connections across the globe, Tinder next week will make its Passport feature available for free to all users. The Passport feature, in effect, allows users to swipe in geographic locations outside of their own. So, for example, if a Tinder user in Los Angeles wants to check out any potential matches in London, they’ll be able to do so at no charge. Note that the Passport feature is bundled with the Tinder Plus premium tier which typically costs $9.99 a month.
