Tinder and Instagram have joined forces to help your online dating game

Get to know your potential match better

A huge upgrade on the online dating app.

Tinder is probably as popular as ever in Ireland, but the app creators aren’t resting on their laurels so they’ve introduced some snazzy new features.

The latest update connects your Tinder with your Instagram account and people who view your profile will have access to your 34 latest Insta photos.

The new feature also allows you to see the degree of separation you have with the person you’re considering giving your heart to.

If you are friends, it’s a first degree connection, and if the person if a friend of one of your friends, it’s a second degree connection.

You’ll also have access to ALL of the person’s Facebook interests to get a rounder view of their personality.

Tinder President Sean Rad. “If we can provide our users with more relevant information for each connection, we can take them halfway there in terms of getting a conversation going.”

Here’s a slick video about the new Tinder.
