Dating app Tinder comes to TV

There's good news for fans of Tinder - the dating app has introduced a new update allowing you to swipe like never before.

Tinder has launched on Apple TV, letting users swipe through matches on the big screen.

The dating app is pitching the update as "fun for the whole family", although it remains to be seen if people will take up the offer of swiping with their relatives.

The update includes a new, swipeable remote control and a large-screen version of the app in HD.

A spokesperson for Tinder said: "Bringing people together is what we do, and we're even more excited to be able to combine all the joys of swiping with all the comforts of home.

"Enjoy Tinder on Apple TV - it's the biggest thing to hit family night since Yahtzee."

The update is available for free in the App Store worldwide.

To start swiping, users can click the trackpad on the remote and browse through profiles, swiping left to say 'No', or swiping right to say 'Yes.'

When you're done swiping you can simply sign out.

While you might think of searching Tinder as a fairly private task, Tinder suggests that the update could get the whole family involved.

A spokesperson for Tinder said: "Need a second opinion before you Super Like? Good news: the cousins from Omaha just rolled in.

"Plus, why swipe alone when you can let Aunt Donna have a say? She's known you since you were two; she's watched you grow.

"If she says you should Swipe Right on that nice girl in the penguin costume, you Swipe Right on that nice girl in the penguin costume."

Users who have activated additional features, including Tinder Boost or are using Passport will automatically have those features reflected in the Apple TV version.
