Tinder buys a dating app
The dating app best known worldwide, Tinder, has made public its latest acquisition in the world of technology. This is Humin, a company focused on contact management and which has its own dating app. An agreement from which the total amount has not yet been released, but which seems to have been motivated by all the technology and added value behind Humin. This technology could fit especially well with the mission of Tinder, improving the dating serviceand enhancing it with new features.
The information has been confirmed by Humin from their website, where they show their enthusiasm for the recent acquisition. Those responsible say that Tinder shares their underlying vision and that they have revolutionized the world of dating In addition, together, they will allow them to create relationships between people much easier and faster a scale that alone could not.
Humin has two applications well differentiated, although focused in the contact between users. The one with the name of the company allows you to keep a very complete agenda, adding new information through a telephone number or email, and completing it with social networks and other questions that add information and data of interest to know and search these contacts in a way simple.However, its most interesting app for Tinder may be Knock Knock, a dating tool most peculiar. Simply call the terminal screen as if it were a door near another contact to add them to different social networks as a friend In other words, an easy and way to connect with people who are in the same place Something you remember, in a way , to Happn, one of the competitors of Tinder
According to those responsible for Tinder, this acquisition will help the company's plans for this year, which suggestsinteresting changes when it comes to flirting by sliding your finger However, and for the moment, no references have been made to new functionalities or features. It can only be assumed that contact management will be improved (Humin), or the connection between users will be facilitated (Knock Knock ), if we look at the recent purchase.
With this Tinder continues to grow as a company, betting on the development of the functionalities of an application that has managed to reach all markets taking dating to the realm of the virtual. Nothing really new, but one that Tinder has made simpler thanks to its system of swipe left or right to create or reject matches
We will have to wait, then, to find out what's new in Tinder this year, which could transform this application into something more than just a way to meet new people, perhaps creating a whole dating agenda or a broader platform where you can not only see nearby related profiles.
Users of Humin and Knock knock will be able to continue using these tools if they keep them installed. However, the applications have already disappeared from the regular stores of Google and Apple, so they will not receive new users.The heads of this company, the Co-Founders Ankur Jain and David Wyler, will go on to work as Vice President of Product and Vice President of Relations at Tinder, respectively.
