Making virtual dating experience more interactive

To make dates easier and more interesting on Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, the platform has announced the launch of "Night In", a new virtual dating experience where two people can participate in an interactive game over a one-on-one video chat after matching within the app.

The dating platforms newest innovative product feature now offers daters in India an opportunity to create more meaningful and deeper connections, expanding the app's portfolio of existing virtual dating options.

After two people have matched, they have the option to participate in a newly imagined virtual date through "Night In" by clicking the icon within the chat message. After opting for this feature, both parties will receive notifications within the app for their video date. Once both people are within their virtual game room, they will be presented with a virtual game and explanation of rules. It will offer trivia upon launch, and the company plans to expand this feature with new game options and virtual experiences in the near future.

Priti Joshi, VP of Global Strategy and Operations, shares, "At the beginning of the pandemic, we knew that we were well-positioned to pivot to virtual dating because we already had our Voice Call and Video Chat feature in place. In fact, we recently found that 40 per cent of single Indians claim to opt for virtual dating in 2021. With current restrictions in India, our newest innovations in virtual dating will offer an opportunity for people to engage with each other in a more interesting way and showcase their unfiltered and authentic selves when chatting on Bumble."

Following the launch of audio notes last year, it has now also launched Video Notes. This feature enables people to send quick videos to each other directly in chat to help break the ice and build deeper conversations. To show their fun side, people can choose to add five Snapchat lenses for their video notes, including Atmosphere, Reactions, and Fox Ears/Tail. This enables people to send quick videos to each other directly in chat to help break the ice and build deeper conversations. (IANS)
