Dating app Hinge launched a new feature called “Match Note” on Wednesday, allowing users to privately share information with matches that they haven’t shared publicly on their profile. Users can add a Match Note by going to their profile, similar to how they can add a text prompt. The note is always visible to new matches, but they’ll only be able to read it once. To complete the match, the other person must acknowledge the note to start the conversation. They can also choose to unmatch the other person after seeing the Match Note. Hinge explains that this feature is designed to support underrepresented groups, particularly LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent users, who face unique challenges on dating apps. For example, transgender users may not feel comfortable disclosing their identity in their profiles but still want to be upfront with their matches. The feature may also allow neurodivergent users to share their needs in a more private manner or help sober daters set up a first date that doesn’t involve drinking. Match Note could also enable users to express their relationship and communication styles before messaging someone who may not align with their preferences.Topics Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shrugs off DeepSeek as sales soar
