Although Spain began testing this feature over the summer, now Tinder video calls are expanding to the whole world and for all users. And it is that, in times of pandemic, it is better to avoid putting your he alth at risk due to a bad date when you can remove the procedure directly in the application. Virtually. Or yes, also for what you are thinking: consented sexting. The thing is, the function is there, but do you know how to use it?
The first thing to be able to make a video call on Tinder is update the application to its latest version If you don't do it, this function may do not appear in conversations with your partners. So check the Google Play Store or the App Store to make sure there are no new versions available for download.
The second thing, of course, is to get a match. And yes, it can be difficult, but once you have it and start talking, you can get in touch thanks to this video call formula. A videocita with whom you can talk in real time and see each other's faces. As would happen on WhatsApp, Zoom or any other platform with this tool, but with a very clear difference: explicit consent.
And it is not only useful to have a match.When you click on the camera icon you will see that a pop-up window appears in which you can previously configure this tool. And most importantly: offer your opinion on this channel of communication. If you do not give your consent and neither does the other person, the function will not be able to be carried out. In other words, just like matches, both users have to be willing to make the video call.
After sliding the button to confirm that you would not mind having a video call with the interlocutor, there is still one more step. This is the usual granting of camera and microphone control permissions to Tinder to be able to carry out the video call in the technical aspect. And, after pressing the Allow button, all that remains is to carry out this function.
Of course, it is important to know that, even if you mark your camera icon, the other person will not know that you have done it. No notification will notify you if you activate or deactivate the functionSo it is more useful to talk about it and choose, mutually, when to carry out the video call. And, at that moment, activate the function giving the consent of each party. Remember that you can also withdraw from the video call or deactivate the function at any time.
With this the call begins, and it is carried out like any video call seen in other applications. Of course, always following the rules of use proposed by Tinder. Once the video call is hung up Tinder will ask each participant if any error has occurred to create a report on the quality of the call So you can collaborate as much in the improvement of the service as in any type of report towards the other person if they have behaved in an uncivil manner or without following the rules of the company.
In this way, with video calls launched globally after several months of testing in different countries, gold users can no longer just start conversations with people from other parts of the world, but meet live and direct through video call.Regardless of distance or time difference. Of course, always highlighting the willingness of both parties to get to know each other. And it is that Tinder strongly defends the sense of consent, and it is something to be thankful for.
