Parents Can Now Monitor Their Kid’s Tinder Activity

Posted on May 2, 2016

Teensafe screenshotMASHABLE – Apr 29 – TeenSafe, a phone-monitoring web program for parents who want to know what their kids are doing online, includes now the ability to monitor Tinder activity. Parents can now see if their kid has installed Tinder, their profile, who they've matched with, liked, super liked and skipped. Parents can also see any conversations their child has with other users. Tinder allows users aged 13-17 to sign up and use it. This demographic makes ~7% of Tinder users, and this group can only match with other users in the same age range. But an underage users can lie about their age and match with older people. TeenSafe has been around since 2011, where it began as the first phone-monitoring program that worked with iPhones.

Bumble 24h replyMASHABLE – Apr 25 – Dating app Bumble will require male users to reply to women's messages within 24 hours, or they lose the match. Bumble launched in 2014.
