A lightweight Tinder Lite app for emerging markets is in the works.

We've seen Twitter Lite, Facebook Lite, and many others, and now, Tinder is about to take action: It's developing a lite version of its dating app for emerging markets with hookups and unequal connections. Cheaper phones. For big tech companies looking to reach out from India to other countries as they get on the right track, a Lite app makes a lot of sense, which is why Tinder doesn't want to obviously not lack. Details about Tinder Lite are currently scarce, but parent company Match Group has announced to investors that the app will be available before the end of the year, TechCrunch reports. As with other Lite apps, the bandwidth and storage requirements are expected to meet the more stringent bandwidth requirements. This will keep Tinder Lite running smoothly on virtually any phone.

Make Tinder more efficient

"This is a big step forward in meeting the needs of consumers," said Mandy Ginsberg, CEO of Match Group, saying the new app would be aimed at growing markets, particularly in Southeast Asia. "Tinder Lite will be a smaller app to download. This will take up less space on your phone, making Tinder more efficient, even in remote areas or regions. And keep in mind that these are areas where data usage remains paramount. Match Group announced that Tinder's flagship app would average 4.7 million paying subscribers, or 1.3 million more than last year. Tinder Lite could spur further growth. Reducing the size and requirements of the app will likely mean that some features will be lost along the way, but we'll have to wait and see exactly what Tinder Lite does and not keep the main Tinder app.
