From unwanted messages to inappropriate replies, dating through an app may be the modern way, but there’s no denying it can be a battlefield – especially if you’re a woman.

Which is exactly why the popular dating app, Tinder is set to make a major change by letting women decide who initiates the conversation – or not. Basically, the power is now in our hands.

Currently it’s a free-for-all as anyone, irrespective of gender, can start a conversation on the app.

“Often, women don’t really want the pressure of kicking off the conversation, but if they want it, that’s great,” says Match CEO Mandy Ginsberg, a company which owns Tinder, Match.com and OkCupid.

“Giving people the choice versus telling people how to engage is the big difference.”
