GRATIS DATING TIPS – Swipe Party will allow users to invite their friends to watch as they swipe other Tinder users left and right. Friends don't have to use Tinder themselves. They can create a guest account by sharing their phone number, name and date of birth. The code of the new feature is listed in the latest version of the Tinder app, not previous versions. It is possible that Swipe Party is still being tested and may never even be available to the general public.

Grazer Is a New Vegan Dating App
METRO.CO.UK – Research shows 52% of vegans and 39% of vegetarians don't want to date a meat-eater, and by 2025 it's predicted that 25% of Brits will quit meat. Charlotte Elizabeth, a co-founder of Grazer, a new vegan dating app, aims to 'unite and empower the plant-based community'. "It was an idea that sparked from personal experience. In the UK, 3% of the population are currently vegan. So if dating a meat-eater is a dealbreaker you're already at a massive disadvantage. We want to solve this problem." As of next week, the app will be launching a crowdfunding project on Seedrs in which anyone can invest in the app in return for shares, from as little as £10.

Match Group Has Filed a Lawsuit Against Muzmatch
NOKIA MOBILE PHONE NEWS – After accusing Muzmatch, a UK-based Muslim matchmaking app, of copying their product and services, Match Group has launched a legal battle with it. The Match Group has accused Muzmatch of trademark infringement, claiming that its mission is to "spark meaningful connections for every single person worldwide." According to The Times, Match Group first wrote to Muzmatch in 2016 alleging trademark infringement before attempting to acquire it a year later. It made four offers to buy Muzmatch, including one for $35M, but Muzmatch turned them down. In 2019, Match purchased Harmonica, an Egyptian-based Muslim dating app, and renamed it Hawaya. According to Match Group, Muzmatch used the word 'match' in its metadata, and also used keyword tags such as 'match-muslim' and 'uk-muslim-match,' which the company claims are an attempt to 'ride on the coattails' of its trademarks. Muzmatch has denied the allegations, claiming that Match does not have a monopoly on the term "match" in the dating industry. On January 17, a hearing is scheduled at the UK Intellectual Property and Enterprise Court in London.
