This aims to give potential matches a better understanding of the user. ## The Role of Friends According to Hinge's internal data, 79% of users rely on friends and family for dating advice. Friend's Take enables these individuals to directly contribute their insights to the profile. ## How It Works Users send a unique link to those they want to add a Friend's Take. The recipient has 72 hours to add text, voice, or photo responses. Users can then select up to three contributions to display on their profile. ## Friends' Perspective Hinge representatives highlight that friends can often better articulate a person's positive qualities. This feature aims to make profiles more authentic and genuine. ## Growing with New Features Friend's Take follows Hinge's recent introductions of Signals and Date Ideas. These initiatives aim to enrich the user experience and make dating more thoughtful. ## The Future of Profiles Friend's Take represents a significant step in making dating profiles more authentic and personal. This feature could help users better express themselves and connect with potential matches. ## Sources covering this story - https://mashable.com/life/hinge-friend-take-feature-launches — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
