One man wants singles to know that it is possible to find love in the Olympic village even if you are not there.
Tinder now has an option called Tinder Passport, which is accessible for Tinder Plus and Gold members. When using the feature, you can change your location to wherever and search for cities worldwide.
Reed Kayner, a TikTok user, shared the hack, so users know it’s a possibility.
“I’m always looking for fun and weird and unexpected ways to use technology. That’s what’s behind a lot of the comedy work I do,” Kavner told Insider. “I’ve used Tinder’s Passport feature for its intended use, and I thought it was interesting that they let you set your location to not just a city or a neighborhood, but you can drop a pin on a precise spot on the map.”
Kavner tried the hack because he believed that it would be enjoyable to see what would happen if he could swipe right or left in the Olympic Village.
He then posted the video to his official TikTok page. The video has had more than 6.5 million views.

“I always hope that people enjoy the things I make and that it finds an audience, but I never expect something to go viral,” Kavner said. “I don’t really think you can predict that.”
“I was pretty surprised to wake up the morning after I posted it to find that it had been viewed 2 million times. And I definitely didn’t expect that it would be on its way to 7 million views less than a week later,” he said.
Kavner shared that he did connect with one Olympian.
