Tinder, arguably the world's most popular dating app, is now jumping on the video bandwagon. The company has begun testing a new feature called "Tinder Loops" that allows users to add short videos to their profile – not unlike Stories by Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.
Tinder Loops: How to Add Video to Tinder Profile (Tinder Video Feature)
Starting now, the new feature will go live for Tinder on iOS in Canada and Sweden, and the company will evaluate the response before rolling it out to other markets. The feature, as the name suggests, allows users to add short looping videos to their profile along with the regular photos. The videos, which will only be two seconds long, are almost like GIFs and aim to add a little more personality to the user's profile.
To add loops, you need to go to your profile and then press the "Add Media" button. You can select a video of your choice, crop it by dragging the timeline, preview it, and then upload it to their profile. Currently, Tinder Loops only supports videos or Live Photos imported from the iOS Camera Roll and does not allow users to capture loops directly from the app.
Along with the new Loops feature, select Tinder users in the region will also be able to add nine photos/loops to their profile, instead of just six. This is expected to encourage more people to try Loops because they don't have to remove their photos to add the videos.
