Tinder Finds Its Way To iOS 10’s Messages

With the release of iOS 10, Apple has revamped its Messages app in a big way. No longer is it just an app for texting, it can accomplish so much more thanks to stickers, digital touch, and apps that are created for it. In fact recently it looks like Tinder has made its way onto the Messages app as well.

Dubbed Tinder Stacks, this isn’t what you think it is. Tinder, for those unfamiliar, is a dating app where you swipe left or right on profiles of users that you like/dislike, and this swiping feature is what Tinder Stacks will be bringing to the table. Basically instead of swiping on user profiles, Messages users can create Tinder Stacks for things that they want their friend’s opinion about.

For example if you’re thinking of renovating your home and you’re picking out floor tiles, you can grab a bunch of photos of various tiles, create a Tinder Stack in Messages, and send it to friends who will swipe left if they dislike it, or swipe right if they like it. You can send stacks to multiple people and all their votes can be collected so that you know which particular photo has the most likes/dislikes.

It is an interesting idea and if you’d like to check it out, all you’d have to download is download the Tinder app onto your iOS device and you’re good to go.
