Given the appearance of the coronavirus and the consequent state of alarm, which still has us locked up at home although with fewer restrictions, applications have become the order of the day, increasing their video call functionalities. For example, WhatsApp increased the number of participants to eight and Facebook launched 'Messenger Rooms', a new functionality to activate video calls with up to 50 participants. Now, another of those that come into play is the application to link Tinder.
Do you want to see your date? Tinder offers you the video call
Tinder is one of the applications that have been affected by confinement, since it encourages physical encounters between people to achieve friendship or love. Match Group, the company that owns Tinder, has made public that during 2020 they will activate the long-awaited video call function so that, at least, its users can have virtual dates and whatever arises. Some video calls that, in addition, will put an end to all those impostors who tried to make catfish (impersonate another) to their unscrupulous victims. Some video calls that have been sponsored, according to the company itself, due to the appearance of the coronavirus.

However, this new implementation will be seen by Tinder as a great challenge due to the large number of people who, every day, use the application to find a partner.
A video is much better than a photo: we will all have to show the face we have at that moment and, yes, we will be able to choose the place where we record ourselves or adjust the perfect lighting, but in the moving image glitches shine more. In this way, thanks to video calls, we will have a guarantee before starting the formal appointment and make sure that who is going to receive us is the person we are waiting for
