The background checks will not be free, and the brand will reportedly begin testing the background check feature on the platform in the next few months. It was noted that once the option is implemented on Tinder, it will be put on other platforms owned by the Match US Group, which include Hinge, OkCupid, and more. Stay tuned for more updates.
