Tinder has just announced the launch of Tinder U, a version of its well-known application only available for university students According to the company itself, This version is designed for students to find study partners, people to have coffee with and, of course, a possible relationship.

The new Tinder U, of course, has its limitations. The first is that, at the moment, will only be available for some universities in the United StatesAlso, at the moment it can only be downloaded if you have an iPhone The application reaches iOS exclusively, since in the North American country Apple has a very high market share . Which does not mean that in the not too distant future, if successful, it will reach Android devices.

But how does Tinder know that the users are actually college students? To sign up for Tinder U, an email account will be required.edu In addition, it will be verified that the student is located in one of the universities associated with the project.

Same operation, only at the university

The operation of Tinder U will be practically identical to that of the original application. However, it does have some peculiarities. As reported by the company on its blog, to use Tinder U the user will have to be on campus Once there, as we said, they will have to use their email address .edu. Everything else will be the same.

As you know from the movies, going to college in America can mean being a long way from home. So Tinder wants to be the tool for new students to meet people in what will be their home for a few years. It will even allow us to have appointments with students from other nearby universities.

Although the announcement is now official, Tinder U still has many unknowns to solve For example, what will happen if we are off campus ? Will we have to switch to the regular Tinder app or will it do it automatically? On the other hand, when will it come to Android? We will wait until students start using the service to learn more details.
