Tinder is increasing the methods you possibly can decide a possible match by their musical tastes by introducing a Music Mode, which helps you to really hear the music somebody’s set as their “Anthem” earlier than you select which course to swipe. Music Mode will combine with Spotify, like Tinder’s different music options, however ought to make it simpler to guage somebody by the music they’ve picked to symbolize themselves — even for those who’ve by no means heard it earlier than, you’ll instantly have the ability to inform the vibe.

Music Mode will reside within the app’s recently added Explore tab, which implies you possibly can ignore it for those who don’t really feel like listening to individuals’s jams proper now. Tinder’s product VP Kyle Miller likened Music Mode to “that feeling when you’re at a party and you find out someone else loves the same songs you do.” Something I’ve heard is nice however have by no means gotten to expertise due to the truth that I solely hearken to hyperpop shoegaze.

It’s good to see Tinder lastly constructing on its Anthem function, which it launched in 2016 and allows you to decide a music to function in your profile and outline your self with. With that stated, it’d be good if the app additionally built-in with Apple Music — you can choose an Anthem without linking a Spotify account, however you received’t have the ability to have your high artists mechanically added to your profile like Spotify customers can. (Us Apple Music customers are already used to dancing on our own, being ignored of issues just like the Spotify Wrapped hype.)

The courting app additionally launched some statistics on what music individuals have been setting as their Anthems for 2021 — topping it’s Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy (with Future & Young Thug),” adopted by Doja Cat and SZA’s “Kiss Me More” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u.”

Personally, I really feel like the original “I’m Too Sexy” can be far more attention-grabbing than Drake’s spin on it, however you do you. Hopefully, although, Tinder will have the ability to do some form of sorting for Music Mode so that you don’t find yourself listening to the identical music time and again if everyone seems to be utilizing it as their Anthem. The firm says Music Mode ought to develop into obtainable in all places you may get Spotify within the coming weeks, and that you simply’ll have the ability to use it for those who’ve linked your Spotify account and added an Anthem of your individual.
