TINDER has revealed a brand new mode that lets you “stealth swipe”.
It’s called Incognito Mode, and will hide your profile from people that you don’t like.

This means you can browse Tinder and swipe on profiles while remaining hidden.
Someone will only see your profile if you’ve swiped right on them, which means you “like” them.
If you don’t swipe right on someone, you’ll never appear in their feeds.
Normally you’d show up in someone’s recommendations no matter whether you’d swiped left, right or never swiped at all on their profile.
But Incognito Mode conceals your profile so that you’re only spotted by people you show interest in.
This is great as it can help you to keep a lower profile on Tinder by “stealth swiping”.
And it could also help you to hide your swiping habits from co-workers, family members and friends who may also be on Tinder.
It sounds great, so what’s the catch? The feature is only available for people who pay for Tinder Plus, Gold or Platinum.

“As part of Tinder’s continual effort to lead the dating industry in safety product innovation, Tinder is releasing new features that add to the ways members can control how they engage with others in the app,” Tinder explained.
“Incognito Mode is a step up from fully hiding your profile.
“Members can still Like and Nope in the app, but only those whom they’ve Liked will see them in their recommendations.
“Take complete control over who sees you while scrolling through profiles on Tinder.”
There are some other new changes that have been bundled into the app.
One is the ability to block profiles when they’re suggested – before you’ve matched – so that they don’t show up again.
“It’s an easy way to avoid seeing a boss or an ex,” Tinder said.
You can also report people more easily now.
Simply tap and hold on an offensive message and it will launch the report system in the chat experience.
