So the developers came with Explore to foster engagement and help drive more meaningful conversations. In a company announcement, Jim Lanzone, Tinder’s CEO, said:
ROAST has been studying what works on Tinder for years, and they’re ready to apply that knowledge to you and your profile
“A new generation of daters is asking for more from us in the post-Covid world: more ways to have fun and interact with others virtually and more control over who they meet on Tinder.” He also added: “Today’s launch of Explore is a major step in creating a deeper, multi-dimensional, interactive experience for our members that expands the possibilities of Tinder as a platform.”
