Tinder Launches Dedicated in-app Safety Center in the Philippines
This is available to all members, helping encourage a healthy dating culture in the country
Many factors contribute to an individual’s overall dating experience, most prominently health and safety, which can impact their well-being and can leaving a lasting impression. Tinder is furthering their efforts in protecting their members by launching a comprehensive in-app Safety Center in the Philippines. With this constantly evolving feature, members get access to tools to help encourage a safe dating culture in the country, offering educational resources, as well as a list of local NGOs and hotlines providing support.
Over the past several years, Tinder has constantly worked closely with the Match Group Advisory Council (MGAC), as well as NGOs to continue building features and processes that nurture a safe dating experience among its members. Bernadette Morgan, Director, Trust & Safety Product at Tinder, shares, “Every day, millions of our members trust us to introduce them to new people, and we’re committed to building safety features that meet the needs of today’s online dating communities.”
To access the Safety Center, just open the app, tap the profile icon and select “Safety.” The goal of each local Safety Center is to centralize safety-related resources and provide avenues of support that connect members in need with relevant experts.
