Tinder Will Soon Let You Get Background Checks on Your Matches The next time you think you might have matched with a risky person on Tinder, the app will help you figure that out. I remember when dating apps were first invented. It was a mix between 'how fun,' and 'how scary.' The scary question morphed to 'how sleazy,' for some people but there's still that element of danger when you're talking to a complete stranger. Tinder, which is the original dating app, along with the most popular, is now taking matters into their own hands when it comes to the stranger danger concept.
