Finding the love of your life no longer involves running into them at the grocery store and falling in love reaching for the same cantaloupe. These days, it's all about the dating apps.
Unfortunately, that can lend itself to some problems, as about 40% of people have run into an ex while online dating.
Well, Tinder has announced a new feature that will hopefully prevent you from running into an ex, a coworker, or really anyone you know while perusing through their dating app.
When you allow Tinder access to the contacts on your phone, you can enable their new "Block Contacts" feature which will allow you to select certain contacts to prevent them from showing up in your feed. PLUS, you won't show up in theirs, either.
The Block Contacts feature was initially tested in India, Korea and Japan, where users blocked an average of 12 contacts each.
