Tinder <\/a> has already developed a fairly robust chat platform within its dating app, with support for sharing things like Bitmoji<\/a> and GIFs<\/a>, and the ability to \u201clike\u201d messages by tapping a heart icon. Now, the company is testing a new integration \u2014 sharing music via Spotify. Tinder confirmed with TechCrunch it\u2019s trying out a new way to connect users, by allowing them to share music within their chats.<\/p>\n

The test is currently taking place across global markets, and Spotify <\/a> is the only music service involved.<\/p>\n

The new feature was first spotted by the blog MSPoweruser<\/a>, which speculated the addition could be an experiment on Tinder\u2019s part, ahead of a public launch. That does seem to be the case, as it turns out.<\/p>\n

According to screenshots the site posted, a green music icon has been swapped in for the Bitmoji icon. Clicking this allows you to enter a query into a search box and see matching results displayed above. You\u2019re not able to share the full song, however \u2014 only a 30-second clip.<\/p>\n

Tinder, like its rival Bumble<\/a>, has offered integration<\/a> with Spotify\u2019s streaming music service since 2016.<\/p>\n

Both apps allow users to connect their Spotify accounts in order to showcase their top artists on their profile. As Tinder explained at the time of launch, music can be a powerful signal in terms of attraction, and plays an important role in terms of getting to know a new connection, as well.<\/p>\n

The company even launched its own profile<\/a> on Spotify, with playlists focused on dating, love and romance as a part of its collaboration with the music service.<\/p>\n

The Spotify integration has paid off for Tinder in terms of user engagement within its app, the company tells us.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsers love connecting over shared tastes in music,\u201d a Tinder spokesperson explained. \u201cIn fact, users who update their \u2018Anthem\u2019 are most likely to start a conversation via Feed. With this in mind, we\u2019re testing the ability to share music with a match while chatting on\u00a0Tinder,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAnthem\u201d is a feature that lets you pick a favorite song or one that\u2019s representative of your tastes or personality. This is then highlighted in a special section on your Tinder profile.<\/p>\n

Tinder did not offer any details as to when it expects the test to wrap or when it would launch music sharing more broadly.<\/p>\n
