During its Q2 2026 earnings call yesterday, Tinder owner Match Group announced that the dating app is testing even more new features — after just expanding Events last month and launching a suite of new features in March.In Match Group's prepared remarks for the call, Match and Tinder CEO Spencer Rascoff announced that Tinder is testing a Missed Connections feature, with Canada and Australia the first to try it. Details are scarce at this point, but Rascoff said, "Missed Connections brings the in-app and real-world experiences together by surfacing a weekly curated set of profiles in a dedicated tab based on who users crossed paths with in the prior week."
Missed Connections is part of Tinder's strategy to bring singles together in-person, hence the expansion of the Events tab into nine additional cities in the U.S. and Europe after an initial test in Los Angeles. Internal data showed that Gen Z singles want a way to "share in-person experiences" with people who can "become closer connections," but it's difficult to transition from online to IRL. Tinder is trying to ease that transition.
