Tinder Dating App Will Soon Let Users Run Background Checks on Dates

Tinder has announced that they will soon be launching a new feature that allows users to run background checks on their dates.

According to KLFY.com, Garbo "collects public records and reports of violence and abuse, including arrests, convictions, restraining orders, harassment, and other violent crimes."

Tinder says the Garbo background search function will be made available later in 2021.
