"Tinder is testing an AI-powered "Chemistry" feature that learns about your interests and personality by analyzing your camera roll. In its latest earnings report, the dating app's parent company, Match Group, described it as an interactive matching feature that's designed to combat "swipe fatigue" by surfacing fewer, more compatible matches. Chemistry requires the user's permission to access camera roll photos, and will also ask "interactive questions" to get to know users better."
"Match says this is a "major pillar of Tinder's upcoming 2026 product experience," and that the feature is already live in New Zealand and Australia, with plans to expand to additional countries in the coming months. Giving an app's AI free rein to look through photos on your device feels a little invasive, even if the feature is opt-in only."
