Tinder is testing a new ‘height preference’ filter, so it’s ‘over for short kings’

Tinder is currently testing a new height filter that lets you choose how tall you want your matches to be. Yes, really!

The new feature uses a sliding bar to select how tall your ideal partner is, and the dating app will show you matches that fit this “preference”. However, it’s only for people who pay for Tinder’s Platinum subscription right now.

A spokesperson for Tinder told The Tab: “We’re always listening to what matters most to our Tinder users – and testing the paid height preference is a great example of how we’re building with urgency, clarity, and focus.”

“This is part of a broader effort to help people connect more intentionally on Tinder. Our new product principles guide every decision, and this one speaks directly to a few: prioritizing user outcomes, moving fast, and learning quickly.”

“Not every test becomes a permanent feature, but every test helps us learn how we can deliver smarter, more relevant experiences and push the category forward,” they continued.

Tinder is implementing a height filter for users.

The change will allow women to generally filter out men below their preferred height.

It’s part of Tinder’s new Preferences system, which is designed to help reduce mismatches and improve relevance. Some of them are free, while others are paid, like the height filter, which offers more control over your matches.

“Preferences show you people who match your vibe, but won’t limit who you see – you’ll still be able to match with people outside of your selections,” a notice on the app says.

The feature will be available for everyone, although it will mostly be used by women to filter out men under six feet tall. People on X are joking that “it’s over for short kings”.

Tinder Platinum currently starts at around £16.67 per month for a 12-month subscription, if you want to give it a try.
