However, it seems that the latest policy changes is affecting the functionality of popular dating app Tinder. Some Tinder users took to Twitter for reporting the issues they are facing while logging into the app. The Tinder users revealed that they are facing a lot of problem in logging into the app because of the policy changes made by Facebook. Whenever, a Tinder user logs into the dating app using their Facebook account then the app asks then to provide Facebook some more permissions. However, when they tap on ‘ask me’, the app requests them to again log into Facebook. The same process keeps on repeating and the users are not able to access their Tinder accounts.
On the other hand, Downdetector, the website which keeps track of app and website outages have also reported the same issue.
Tinder enables users to sign up using their phone number, but you can also sing up using your Facebook account. Many of the Tinder users use Facebook accounts as it helps them to upload their photos directly from Facebook and also find out if a potential match has any mutual Facebook friend.
As part of the new policy changes, the social networking giant have to approve all apps that request access for user information. According to a blog post from Mike Schroepfer, the company's chief technology officer, “Facebook will now "need to approve all apps that request access to information such as check-ins, likes, photos, posts, videos, events and groups."
The company however has acknowledged the issue as reported by The Wired and is working on a fix.
Interestingly, according to app analytics company App Annie, Tinder was the second-most downloaded paid app in India during the year 2017.
