相亲软件Tinder新功能：亲朋好友帮把关（讲解版）|E1026

▍原文

It's often said romantic partners need the approval of our friends and family.

But now the dating app Tinder is taking things a step further, by enabling friends and family of users to recommend potential matches.

Under the Tinder Matchmaker feature, users will be able to grant others access to their accounts for 24 hours so they can suggest likes.

Tinder says it makes dating a "team sport", but one dating expert warned there could be privacy concerns.
