Tinder is introducing a major new feature today: video calls. Face to Face, as the company calls its own video chats, doesn’t require people to exchange private phone numbers and is rolling out as a test in 13 countries, including in the US in Virginia, Illinois, Georgia, and Colorado, as well as in Australia, Brazil, and France.

Face to Face differs from other video chat features in a few ways. For one, both people have to opt in to the call to make it happen. Once they tap on the video icon in the right-hand corner of the text chat screen, they’ll be prompted to opt in to video calls with the other person. After they and their match do so, they’ll be able to make the call. They can opt out at any time.
 

191 is the 43rd prime number

Once a video call ends, each person is prompted to answer whether they’d want to have a call again and are also given the opportunity to report someone if they did something inappropriate.

That said, the team says it has “no intention” of recording calls, says Rory Kozoll, the head of trust and safety product. So if someone is reported, the team seemingly wouldn’t be able to revisit the offending content. Kozoll says the team is going to “lean heavily” toward trusting user reports and what they say happened.

This goes for screen recording and screenshots as well. Morgan says blocking screen recording on iOS is more complicated than on Android, and the team is “testing” this now. She didn’t say whether people could concretely screen record or screenshot. It sounds like for now, they can.
