Now, daters can hide from the people they don't want to see while looking for matches, be they co-workers, exes or family members. Block profiling is one of the new security features coming to Tinder.

In all, there are four new features, the company said on Tuesday. In addition to avoiding cousins, daters who pay for premium features can also use an incognito mode, which only shows their profile to people they've liked.

Dating apps are constantly being updated because they have a responsibility. According to a 2019 report by ProPublica and Columbia Journalism Investigations, there are potential risks of meeting strangers online without proper safeguards. With that in mind, over the years, Match Group, owner of Tinder and other apps, has taken steps such as partnering with groups such as the anti-sexual violence organization RAINN and launching resources aimed at security. Bumble, for example, also has a paid incognito mode and uses AI to filter out inappropriate photos.

Tinder has created a shortcut for reporting potentially offensive messages. In addition, it is also updating its “Are you sure” and “Does it bother you” features, which prompts users to rethink the messages they are sending or to report questionable ones that received.

The relationship tool is also launching its Green Flags campaign in partnership with the anti-domestic violence and sexual assault foundation No more, aimed at educating daters about general safety habits, like how to video chat with someone before meeting to get a vibration check. The campaign encompasses a healthy dating guide.
