Tinder is an online dating app where users can view photos of potential matches in their area and swipe right if interested or left if uninterested. Key features include swiping on profiles, viewing common connections with matches on Facebook, and interacting through "moments" by liking photos. While intended as a dating site, Tinder is often used for casual hookups. It has over 50 million users since launching in 2012, with 1 billion swipes and 12 million matches daily.

people can interact with others.
Tinder is most often used for hooks ups but is intended as a dating

Tinder can be used if someone is too shy to talk to someone in
person and would be more comfortable behind a screen or if
someone just wanted to meet new people in their area.

7. Would I use it?
I have used it just because everyone else was using it.
It was a great way to meet people, but a lot of people had ulterior
motives.
Use once just to try it, unless actively seeking a companion.
