The rise in the use of dating apps and platforms have popularized our understanding around finding love. Apps such as Tinder, Hinge, to name a few, have centered around showcasing visual elements such as photos of individuals as one attempts to build an appealing profile about themselves. So the NABS Now team decided to invite some of our colleagues to get an insight scoop on how a blind person could maximize their experience on these dating platforms non visually.
