Hinge Brings Its Authenticity to the Dating Experience in Mexico

Daters in Mexico are searching for genuine connections, and with the launch of Hinge, the dating app designed to be deleted®, they will have a new way to find and build lasting relationships.

Founded in 2012 by Justin McLeod, Hinge has become the fastest-growing dating app in markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, where a date is set up every two seconds. With this launch, Mexico becomes the first country in Latin America where the app is available, reflecting a growing demand for authentic connections in the region.

In a world where connections can often feel fleeting, Hinge offers something different: a space designed for people to get to know each other authentically, through intentional interactions that lead to real in-person dates.

“At Hinge, our focus has always been about creating an experience that helps people date with more intention. With our launch in Mexico, we’re excited to support a community of daters who are looking for something real and meaningful. We believe relationships deserve that level of care and our hope is that Hinge can make it easier to find those genuine connections,” said Justin McLeod (he/him), Founder and CEO of Hinge.

Intentional Connections

Hinge is built for people who are ready to date with purpose. Every feature on the app is thoughtfully designed to help daters in Mexico connect over who they really are.

One of Hinge’s most loved features is our Prompts, creative, open-ended questions or statements that make it easy to share more about who you are and spark deeper conversations. As the first dating app to offer Prompts, every dater provides three responses on their profile — answering ice breakers, such as “We’ll get along if…” or “I could stay up all night talking about…”

• Voice Prompts and Video Prompts bring daters’ personalities to life on their profiles in a way that photos alone can’t capture.
• Prompt Polls invite playful conversation between users right from the beginning as potential matches answer an interactive poll question on another person’s profile.

Hinge offers additional unique features that support users in the process of finding intentional connections on the app:

• Dating Intentions lets users clearly state what kind of relationship they’re looking for, whether it’s a life partner, a long-term relationship, something shorter-term, or if they’re still figuring it out. They can also add a Backstory, sharing more about their dating goals in their own words.
• Voice Notes make it possible for users to have a conversation while messaging that captures their tone and humor. In 2024, conversations with Voice Notes were 40% more likely to lead to a date.
• Your Turn gently reminds daters when it’s their turn to respond, keeping conversations flowing with mutual effort.
• Your Turn Limits helps daters focus by requiring them to reply to or close out conversations before connecting with new people — leading to more thoughtful interactions and a 20% increase in responsiveness.
• We Met is an in-app survey that checks in after a date to see if both people would like to meet again. Hinge was the first dating app to offer this, and now it is duplicated across the industry.

By celebrating self-expression, curiosity, and emotional readiness, Hinge offers a dating experience that’s as thoughtful as its users.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Authenticity

At Hinge, our goal is to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and empowered on their journey to finding meaningful connection. With the goal of creating love for all, we’re constantly evolving the experience to reflect people’s intentions.

Daters in Mexico will be able to express who they are and what they’re looking for through:

• More than 50 gender identity options
• 21 sexual orientation options
• Customizable pronouns for their profile
• Filters based on values, religion, life goals, or even zodiac signs

“We’re excited to bring Hinge to such vibrant and diverse young adults in Mexico. We are committed to providing a safe way for people to discover meaningful relationships that can grow into something lasting. It’s an honor to bring our app to a new community and to encourage new love stories to unfold,” said Jackie Jantos (she/her), President and CMO of Hinge.

Built on Trust

At Hinge, safety is foundational. This means prioritizing not only how people meet but also how safe and supported they feel while doing it. That’s why we’ve built industry-leading features that help daters stay in control of their experience — from Selfie Verification to Comment Filter — and safeguards that help to prevent negative or unwanted behavior.

We believe trust is the key to every real connection, and we’re committed to creating a space where daters can be themselves — safely, confidently, and honestly. As Hinge arrives in Mexico, it brings a new standard for what dating can feel like when it’s built on empathy and respect.

The Science of Love

At Hinge, our approach to dating is backed by science. That’s why we created Hinge Labs, our in-house team of PhD researchers and behavioral scientists dedicated to understanding what helps people form real, lasting connections.

Hinge Labs is the first team of its kind within a dating app — using a mix of quantitative and qualitative research to uncover the barriers daters face and build solutions that move them forward. From testing new features to studying dating behaviors around the world, they help ensure that every product update is designed to help people meet in person, safely and successfully.
