Tinder just got harder for men

Indian women are in control… on Tinder, at least. As if getting matches on Tinder weren’t hard enough, now the app is introducing ‘My Move’ which allows women the option to prevent men from talking altogether – even if the two have “matched.” However, luckily for most of us, the feature is currently only available for Apple’s iOS operating system in India.

 

Based on feedback… women would prefer to make the first move. Those women that aren’t so pushy can opt-out of the feature and let the men do the talking. Tinder is testing the feature now, and it will be available in other countries in the coming months. Which ones? We don’t know.

In India, this feature could be especially helpful as crimes against women in the country have been making headlines lately.
