WESNET has been working with Tinder Australia over the last few months to create a Dating Safety Guide that will help survivors and the general population with learning about the safety features available in the Tinder Dating App.

Although 79%(1) of Australians reported that dating app safety features were very important for their overall dating experience, only 1 in 3 singles surveyed admitted they weren’t fully aware of these features. By reminding users of Tinder’s Community Guidelines, describing how to use its in-app safety features, and highlighting the recently improved reporting process, the Dating Safety Guide helps informs daters in Australia about the do’s and don’ts of dating safely. The comprehensive guide, available to download below, aims to help Australians how to get the most out of their dating experiences while remaining vigilant online and offline.

The Dating Safely Guide includes some of the new updates built into the Tinder app around reporting abusive and harassing behaviour and more.

For more information, visit the Dating Safety Guide website.
