How Match Group is winning over Gen Z

Match Group’s dating apps portfolio is quite big, but the biggest part of its revenue comes from Tinder. And the biggest audience on Tinder are singles between the ages of 18 to 24, or simply called Gen Z.

‘The Motley Fool’ journal published 3 things Match Group uses to win over Gen Z users:

1. Interactive videos – Last September, Tinder launched Swipe Night, interactive videos with branching narrative choices.

2. Live video chats – Like the ability to upload videos to Hinge and short video loops to Tinder profiles

3. More genders and social causes – 59% of Gen Z youth believe that apps forms should have more than 2 genders (male and female), and so  Tinder added a “more genders” feature.

A dating and social app ‘The Inner Circle’ released research data on why singles in the UK no longer meet in real life.

The results, amassed from 2,000 singles, showed that 75% of respondents still prefer offline “meet-cute” over online.

The reasons are that it is more natural, more romantic and gives the couple a better story to tell.
