However, unlike age and gender preferences on the platform, Tinder users won’t be able to filter out profiles with different relationship goals from their own. You’ll have to do that bit manually through the age-old method of swiping left or right.
As you can see in the image above, your selected relationship goal will be visible front and centre on your profile.
You’ll then be asked once a week whether you wish to change the goal or keep it the same.
According to a spokesperson from Tinder, the new feature reflect a change in dating habits from The Youth.

Hinge and Tinder as well as PlentyOfFish and Ok Cupid are all owned by the same company, Match Group.
After initially rolling out in the US, the new feature will be accessible to users across the world by January 5, 2023.
