The app's new feature Tinder Social -- which launched Thursday in the U.S., UK and India -- enables you to create groups, meet new potential pals and plan group activities with friends and strangers.
To use the feature, you'll need to update to the latest version of Tinder. A tab will appear asking you if you'd like to unlock Tinder Social, but you can also head over to your settings tab to turn on the feature.
If you want to go out, then Tinder will ask you to invite one of your "friends on Tinder Social" from a selection of your Facebook friends who may or may not be on Tinder.
Once you invite one of your existing friends, you can then begin swiping left or right on groups and individuals looking to go out.
The feature test-launched in Australia in April this year, and users set up pub crawls and organised group outings to concerts. However, the feature soon came under fire over concerns about privacy, particularly as it appeared to expose Tinder users to their Facebook friends.
"Users must unlock Tinder Social by opting into the feature. If a user opts in, Tinder will display a list of Facebook friends (who have also unlocked Tinder Social) to choose from to add to their group," a spokesperson for Tinder told Mashablewhen questioned about this feature.
In other words, if you want to use the feature, you should make sure you're 100% OK with your Facebook friends knowing you use the app.
