Tinder already protects the photos of its users
If you are one of those who, despite having Tinder and taking all day checking with your possible future friendship partners and whatever comes up, feared for the privacy of your photos, you can stop go worrying Now all photos shared through the Tinder app will finally be encrypted. If the user who reads us thought they already were, we're sorry to say no, that their photos were a little more exposed than those we share, for example, with applications like Telegram.
Last January, an online security company was the one that uncovered the cake In a social network so closely linked to privacy As is Tinder (let's remember that people come here to find a partner or, directly, sex) there are certain users who would not be happy to find out that the photos they share with that one are not sufficiently protected. If the company was connected to the same network as a person who was currently using Tinder, the photos could be intercepted between the application and the Tinder servers.
So, um, this is pretty weird. Apparently Senator Wyden just got Tinder to properly encrypt your swipe data, so you can all get it on in private. pic.twitter.com/BniAVUi77Q

Now, Tinder's parent company, Match Group, has sent a letter to Senator Ron Wyden of the United States, that photos being shared through the dating application are already encrypted and safe since last February.If they have taken so long to solve this serious problem, it is because, in Match Group's own words, they have been solving many bigger ones. We don't even want to know what problems can be more serious in a dating application than the fact that our intimate photos can be intercepted by anyone.
In addition, Match Group, in this same letter addressed to the senator, has assured that now, in the application, will have the same weight sliding the screen to the side or to the other when we are deciding on a specific user. This means that your behavior in the application will be more difficult to assess and qualify. No third-party application, therefore, will be able to determine which person we are saying yes to and which ones we are rejecting.
