Just in time: Internet giant MacGroup, which owns Tinder OkCupid and Hinge, is expected to add one-to-one video conversations soon on all its platforms. This is a significant upgrade given that the company has millions of users.

And here the corona is the main cause of change. "Social remoteness has affected our applications and has required us to make adjustments," MacGroup wrote in a press release. "Most users would go on dates with phone or video calls following the global closure."

In addition, Batinder noted that there was a significant decline in users paying premium accounts between February and March, although numbers were still higher than last year at the time.

In the meantime, claims have already been made that video calls can be a fertile ground for sexual harassment, and that there is real difficulty in detecting such cases, unlike text or pictures. Company estimates are currently working on a system that you will recognize cases of this type, and the company has not responded to the issue at this time, according to TheVerge.
