Soon, you can see Snapchat stories while looking for a perfect match on Tinder

Snapchat is finding more ways to gain more users. As a result, Snapchat is looking to expand its Stories to third-party apps. To begin with, Snapchat stories will be available with apps like Tinder and Houseparty. This way, Snapchat is not only attracting more users but also advertisers. So, Snap stories will soon be available for developers to integrate into their own apps.

Tinder being one of the first few apps to receive support for Snapchat stories, Tinder users should be able to check for your Snapchat stories inside Tinder app, while swiping left and right. However, it remains unclear how Snapchat stories will appear inside Tinder and other third-party apps.

The integration of Snapchat into apps like Tinder and Houseparty is currently under development. This is more or less similar to how Spotify tracks your Instagram stories. This is certainly expected to boost ad revenue for Snapchat. However, Snapchat stories on apps like Tinder will not include ads at launch. It remains to be seen how Snapchat plans to make a business out of it.
