We imagine a lot of people will be sneakily using it…

Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble continue to go from strength to strength in Ireland.

Tinder is hugely popular in Ireland with figures from Ipsos MRBI showing that a whopping 200,000 people in Ireland have a Tinder account.

But, 50,000 people are using the app every single day in Ireland, swiping their way through a deluge of potential matches.

The accessibility and ease of such apps mean they’re put to frequent use, but the creators of Tinder have just made it a lot easier to use the app for some people.

Some people like those say… who use a computer for college or work.

Yes, introducing the new Tinder web app which available for use on your laptop/desktop.

It was unveiled earlier this year and was tested in a number of regions, but over the weekend, it became available to a much wider audience.

When it was announced in March this year, it was described as:

“Introducing Tinder Online: a fun, new web experience and your English professor’s worst nightmare. Mobile phones not allowed in class? Just fire up your laptop and swipe incognito. Cubicle life got you down? Now you can toggle between spreadsheets and Super Likes in a flash. “Not Enough Storage?” Not a problem. Don’t let life get in the way of your Tinder game.”

If you go to the Tinder website, you’ll be able to log in and use your profile there and there will be little confusion because it works much the same way as the mobile app.
