Swiping is exhausting, but it's even more exhausting to ask every person you match with if they've been vaccinated or not. Now, popular dating apps have come up with a way to cut to the chase.
According to a statement released by the White House on Friday, Tinder, Hinge, Match, OKCupid, BLK, Chispa, Plenty of Fish, Bumble, and Badoo have all agreed to create badges that show vaccination status.
The apps will also give vaccinated Americans access to free premium benefits like boosts, super likes, and super swipes. These features are all meant to increase your chances of connecting with someone.
The effort is all a part of Joe Biden's plan to have 70% of adults vaccinated with at least shot #1 by July 4.
The apps are also hoping to help educate people on the vaccines and offer resources about how to get vaccinated.
Tinder - which is the world's most popular non-gaming app - is going to launch a "Vaccine Center," allowing users to browse educational resources and info on the nearest vaccination sites.
"We're excited to work with the White House to help 70% of American adults get vaccinated by July 4th. Nothing like fireworks to signal a new spark and a new start for those looking to meet new people IRL this summer," Jim Lanzone, the CEO of Tinder, said in a statement on Friday.
