Tinder users can ‘gift’ their date Lyft rides

SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) — Tinder and Lyft are teaming up for a new feature as people start to make in-person connections again.

Dating app users will be able to ‘gift’ dates a ride directly through Tinder. This feature is scheduled to roll out in the coming months.

Lyft says Tinder users will still have access to all in-ride safety features like location sharing and silently requesting emergency help.

Both apps say they’ve seen an uptick in activity since the pandemic began.
