They wanted users to engage each other immediately similar to social media and allowed users to respond to profile questions and leave comments. Too differentiate themselves from their biggest competitor Tinder they removed swiping, timers on matches and other features. In 2016 Hinge released their biggest update to their app yet including a rebrand as well. With the issues Facebooks had with privacy in early 2018, by the summer Hinge allowed users a second option for creating an account by using their mobile phone number instead. Originally Hinge required Facebook to create an account and to find matches for members (the app would connect members with friends of friends). The app quickly expanded to other cities in the United States and by the summer of 2017 it finally came to Android phones and was available internationally as well including Canada and the United Kingdom. It launched their app early in 2013 for Washington DC only on iOS. The Hinge dating service was founded by Justin McLeod in 2012.
