It's a float value.
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.

#72In you tinder profile you can see which friends tinder will show as common friends. This is a subset of your Facebook friends and I've always assumed these you Facebook friends who are on tinder.

#73Can confirm the new Tinder Social feature is opt in, with reasonable warning: https://imgur.com/ie8IgSZ Feature can be disabled at any time.
The feature will also opt-in (on android at least) via a notification, with no confirmation upon opening the notification. Thanks, anti-privacy patterns!
On iOS I opened via the push notification and got taken to the opt-in screen so possibly a bug with their Android app rather than something malicious.

#74How can I tell if I've even been opted in? Bastards. I'm a paying customer and they pull this crap.
>> "How can I tell if I've even been opted in?"
It's OPT-IN - you can tell because you would have said 'opt me in to Tinder Social'. Also, if you can remember, swipe to your profile screen. If you have opted in it has it in huge writing.

Are there more than two genders now?
Yes, and I'm not sure why he's getting downvoted. This is a legitimate Facebook feature. Gender can be either Male, Female, or Custom, and Facebook gives you the option to choose which gender pronouns you prefer. Thus, to see it represented as a boolean is unusual. I'm curious as to what the value of that field is when a user has chosen Facebook's custom gender display options.
'Custom' wouldn't work in Tinder. They should have at least a third option but considering they show matches based on a gender preference having dozens of gender options will make the app quite useless as you'll be spreading people who would be interested in each other but use different terms to describe their gender into a wide variety of groups.

#76Can't get it to work ... where do I get my facebook user id and token from?
Do I have to create an App featuring access to my friend list for that?

#77Just FYI, doesn't work in Asia, maybe because there's no Tinder Social yet.

As stated in both the repository and the blog post (a couple times, actually), you need to intercept the Tinder traffic after you've created a profile.

#80I love security posts like this. His previous one about facebook messenger status was also really nicely done. He doesn't succumb to the temptation to be abusive (to either the people who made the thing he's testing, the people reading, or anyone who might be impacted by it), which is something a lot of security researchers seem to find impossible to avoid; there's a lot of calling people various forms of stupid in m…
The overall technical outline of the issue and what he did to figure it out are clear — and certainly interesting — but I am having a hard time reading the blog post. This writing style is exhausting to me. Instead of reading normally I find myself skipping more and more text to get to the bits that aren't silly jokes and internet slang. A shame, because it hides the technical insights he has. At least he's not inser…
Agreed, I find the actual content interesting but I probably skipped 90% of the written text.
