To be fair, it’s still unclear when or if the company will ever roll out the feature. One obstacle: getting it out of the door without seriously pissing off the rest of the user base might prove tricky. Tinder’s parent company Match Group is already in a precarious financial position, having posted its first-ever quarterly decline at the beginning of last year.
