Feeling pretty lonely in the COVID-19 quarantine? Is a solo “Netflix and chill” simply not doing it for you anymore?
Well, worry no further – Everyone’s favorite dating app, Tinder, has unveiled a brand new feature that allows you to swipe all over the world in the search for self-isolation love.

Well, most of us are.
The COVID-19 pandemic that’s currently sweeping the globe has put many major cities in full lockdown, including their inhabitants.
Hundreds of bars, cafes, and restaurants have closed their doors, with hundreds more set to follow suit in the following weeks.
So, that’s all the ideal first-date options thrown out of the window.
Tinder’s Passport is a paid feature usually reserved for Tinder Plus & Gold subscribers, and enables swipers to search by city or drop a pin on the map anywhere in the world.
Tinder’s Passport will be made available to everyone.Writing on their website, Tinder explained:
“In these trying times, while we all know we need to stay home, this doesn’t mean we have to be alone with our thoughts. Having someone to talk to can make a world of difference. And that’s why we decided that starting next week we’ll make our Passport feature, free to everyone, everywhere through April 30th.”
“Our hope is that you use the Passport feature to virtually transport yourself out of self-quarantine to anywhere in the world. You can check in on folks in their hometown, college town, or sister city, and find those across the world who are going through the same things. If nothing else, you can learn how to say “hey” in another language.”
Though I have a feeling some people may use it for other things… A global, unsolicited d*ck pic, anyone?
