If you’ve been on a dating app, your friend has likely stolen your phone to swipe for you or change your profile. Now, a new Hinge<\/a> feature lets them officially do the latter.<\/p>\n

Today, Hinge launches Friend’s Take, a feature where users can invite their loved ones to add a text prompt, voice note, or image to users’ profiles. The point is for your friends (or co-worker, family members \u2014 whomever) to reflect and share their thoughts about you that potential matches can see.<\/p>\n

According to internal Hinge data, 79 percent of users rely on friends and family for advice about their dating lives. Now, there’s a way for them to literally add their opinion to daters’ profiles.<\/p>\n

“Until now, there hasn’t been an easy way for the people who know you best to be part of creating your Hinge profile,” Hinge’s chief product and technology officer, Ben Celebicic, said in a press release shared with Mashable. “Friend’s Take makes room for those who are always alongside you as you date and gives potential matches a richer, more authentic sense of who someone is before they meet.”<\/p>\n

Users can send a unique link to anyone to add a Friend’s Take. No Hinge account is required on the other person’s end, but they do have up to 72 hours to add their take before the link expires (or, until up to 10 people add a take). <\/p>\n

In a preview of Friend’s Take attended by Mashable, Hinge representatives discussed how a dater’s friends may be able to speak to their positive qualities better than the person themselves. In response to a question of whether someone can technically add their own take, pretending to be someone else, they said yes. (Though, like any dating profile fakery, the buck would stop when you meet someone IRL and realize their profile wasn’t truly representative of them.)<\/p>\n
