Can confirm the new Tinder Social feature is opt in, with reasonable warning: https://imgur.com/ie8IgSZ Feature can be disabled at any time.

I hope so, that would be a step in the right direction!

Has anyone in America tried out https://github.com/defaultnamehere/tinder-detective to see if the API still works in the US without having to opt in?

The feature will also opt-in (on android at least) via a notification, with no confirmation upon opening the notification. Thanks, anti-privacy patterns!

Nope, you have to opt-out of Tinder Social to make it NOT happen to you.

Looks opt-in to me.

Ah, I was talking about in Australia. Turns out Tinder Social launched in the US today. What a coincidence!

It's a float value.

Nah, it's a string.

It's a float value.

Only one axis? How discriminatory. :P

But not opt-in for the friends of those who have already opted in.

The funny part is that you're getting downvoted when it's actually defined as a float.

Like, you weren't kidding. They honestly made it a float. What.
