Tinder is testing a share button that allows users to send profiles to friends by texting a link instead of capturing a screenshot. The link disappears after five clicks or 72 hours, allowing mobile device owners with the Tinder app installed to swipe left or right on the texted profile in order to answer "yes" or "no," then wait to see if there is a match.

People can also change the settings of their smartphone or tablet to opt out of the share button feature.

MEL Magazine reports the company might also be experimenting with sharing via other messaging platforms including WhatsApp and GroupMe.

The dating app's users can also copy and paste the link anywhere. However, they should keep in mind that the links will disappear after five clicks or three days.

Tinder's concept is that people will share profiles in order to play matchmakers for friends. There are already several websites used to share Tinder profiles through screenshots, so the share button will likely be used for sharing peculiar profiles or very attractive people, according to The Verge.   

For example, a Tinder user might find someone on Tinder who is outside their circle of friends but they remember someone who had a crush on that person. The person could just text the profile's link and then see if they are a good match.   

People might be worried about their Tinder profile being shared through the new feature. However, people can already do it through screenshots.

Some people might also be concerned about the link's self-destruct settings. It might seem like a less serious way of sharing a profile than taking a screenshot.

Not everyone has been pleased with the effects of dating apps on the process of starting romantic relationships. They argue it has reduced the process of people using their mobile devices to find "hookups."

However, the irony is that while many people complain about the Tinder app, they keep using it. Some Millennials in Manhattan's financial district share in one night they arranged two or three dates, according to Vanity Fair.

One of them explained that men like to compete. The dating app allows them to see hundreds of women per day then set up Tinder dates.
