When you think of Tinder, you probably picture the iconic Swipe Right? Feature. But behind that simple feature? Billions of daily interactions across countless device types in 190 countries. "Complex" doesn't begin to cover it. That's why we're thrilled to highlight our most recent contributions to the open-source community: Layout, Nodes, and CombineUI. Why open source? Because we believe great code, like great connections, should be shared. What started as internal solutions to our biggest technical challenges has evolved into a powerful toolkit that: ? Reduced development time by enabling new features to be integrated with just four lines of code ? Dramatically improved app performance and reliability across all devices ? Simplified complex UI development, making it easier to create and maintain beautiful interfaces ? Enabled seamless scalability as we grew to billions of daily interactions Our team has spent years perfecting these tools: ? Layout: A high-fidelity DSL syntax that makes UI development in UIKit feel as natural as writing a story ? Nodes: Our plugin-based architecture framework that lets engineers add new features with just four lines of code ? CombineUI: A reactive approach to user interactions that brings modern Swift capabilities to UIKit Now, we're making them available to help developers everywhere build better, more reliable mobile experiences. Dive into the technical details in our latest tech blog post from Staff Software Engineer Christopher Fuller: https://lnkd.in/gd-jSCqx ???? P.S. Looking for your perfect career match in tech?

??? History was made in Thailand last week. On January 23, Thailand became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize marriage equality, marking a powerful milestone for love and inclusion in the region. We were honored to join hundreds of couples at the "Marriage Equality Day" celebration at Siam Paragon in Bangkok, to witness many joy-filled moments as LGBTQIA+ couples finally received the legal recognition they deserve. From a simple swipe to making history – these are the moments that drive our mission forward. Our CMO Melissa Hobley had the privilege of attending the celebrations and presenting marriage certificates to beaming couples – a testament to how far Tinder has come in championing love in all its forms. As one of the first dating apps to expand the gender identities and sexual orientation options available to users, Tinder welcomes everyone and supports the LGBTQIA+ community in creating new relationships. And our numbers tell an inspiring story, too. In fact, there have been almost 7 billion LGBTQIA+ matches on Tinder to date and 30% of all matches on Tinder today are between LGBTQIA+ users, an increase of 66% since the previous year. According to a recent Tinder survey in Thailand, 100% of LGBTQIA+ users in Thailand found a match on a dating app, and 50% had meaningful relationships with someone they met through the app. To our LGBTQIA+ community in Thailand and around the world: we celebrate with you today, and everyday. We remain committed to supporting your journey to find meaningful connections, wherever they may lead. ??

Love is not a trend. It's a human right. Today at Paris Fashion Week, we're proud to stand alongside visionary Mexican-American designer Willy Chavarria as he makes a statement that can't be ignored. Together, we unveiled "How We Love Is Who We Are" — a limited-edition collaboration with WILLY CHAVARRIA and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), worn by the designer himself on the runway. This isn't just fashion. It's a declaration of solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community worldwide. When over 20% of our new users identify as queer, we know that championing inclusivity isn't just the right thing to do — it's essential to who we are. This collection features striking visuals that celebrate the intimacy of human connection. Every piece tells a story of authenticity, defiance, and the fundamental right to love freely. To amplify this mission beyond the runway, we've made a donation in Willy's honor to HRC, furthering their vital work in championing equality, unity, and liberation for all.

Are you verified on LinkedIn? Probably. Verification check marks signal trust and give people confidence that you’re the real deal. It’s no different in the Tinder world, where users who are ID and Photo Verified have higher match rates, on average. So our Australia team partnered with WESNET, Australia's leading women's organization working to eliminate domestic and family violence, for an ID verification drive to encourage more daters to up their trust factor on Tinder (and increase their chances of making a real-life connections). What was the secret sauce to selling out every spot at this beachside event (aptly called “Verified QT”)? Here are 3 things that got daters in Bondi Beach excited about verification and safety: ?? Better profiles. Daters who participated in Verified QT scored a new profile pic from a world-class photographer, plus a local dating expert was on hand for 1:1 sessions filled with profile building tips and advice. ?? Facts. 69% of users under 30 in Australia are interested in seeing verified profiles and 66% of Aussie daters specifically want to see a badge to indicate verified status. Armed with the knowledge that ID and Photo Verified daters get a higher match rate on average, our team was on the ground to spread the word and walk daters through the verification process. ?? Bold brand placement! It was impossible to miss our bright pink booth. As one content creator said, the activation was giving “big green tick energy.” And despite the torrential downpour, more than 500 people came through. The results? Over 5,000 new ID Verified accounts, and a donation to WESNET. Now THAT is a green flag.
