Throughout the ongoing month, Tinder users in India will see in-app cards highlighting that the Dating Safety Guide is available to be downloaded in the abovementioned regional languages.

The guide covers a wide range of topics, such as how to look for “red flags” (things that might not feel right) and “green flags” (signs of respect and kindness), definition and contextual understanding of context, and how to use safety tools provided within the Tinder app.
