Tinder today celebrates the most intense event in the calendar of events, the Dating Sunday. Known as “the most traveled day of all time”, Date Sunday means that users open themselves up to new beginnings and new possibilities. Every year on the first Sunday of January, Tinder sets new records for the highest number of swipes, indicating a remarkable increase in interaction between members. According to data collected by the popular dating app, on this particular day Tinder users respond an average of 19.4 minutes faster than any other Sunday of the year, the number of messages sent increases by 22%, while likes increase by 18.2%.
In recent weeks, the number of likes has increased by 58.7 million, reflecting the enthusiasm for finding new connections. During peak season, up to 2,263 photos are added to profiles every minute, with people editing their bios at a rate of 519 changes per minute.
To start the year on a positive note and make the most of Dating Sunday, Tinder provides some advice considered the key to success:
- Unleash your personality: It is quite difficult to start a conversation from scratch, especially if the conversation participants do not know much about the person they are talking to. In this case, it is better to use the new Tinder update for profile ideas and say something about yourself, for example, choose from the suggestions “The first thing on my wish list…”, “The title of my bio …”, “Two truths and a lie “. It is also better to take advantage of the new profile quizzes and update information such as “Languages I know”, “Lifestyle” and “Relationship type” to make them even more unique and interesting for potential partners;
- don’t forget to add your interests: finding common interests is one of the easiest ways to connect with someone. Our passions make us unique and can prove to be an excellent starting point for breaking the ice and finding the right fit for us. During “New Year, New Boo Season”, global trends show that the most popular interests are “Foodie”, “Aperitif” and “Dog Lover”;
- stay away from unverified profiles: with the introduction of Video Selfie, verifying your identity is even easier. Not only that, it’s also possible to ask our Matches to verify their profile before starting a chat for an even more secure experience;
- report if needed! Tinder’s updated reporting system allows you to report specific elements of a profile, giving users a safer and more considerate experience. You now have more options to report specific items that do not comply with the platform’s policies.
