Tinder is trialling a new feature allowing premium users to filter potential matches according to their height.

The feature is being trialled in "limited" parts of the world, excluding the UK , with the feature only available to premium users.

Some users say the feature might actually help shorter men find a match.

Others say it could help women avoid men who only want to date tall men.

Tinder 's new filter shows it is "building with urgency, clarity, and focus" Tinder says it is part of a broader effort to help people connect more intentionally.

MatchMaker UK managing director Lara Besbrode says the move capitalises on a well-known preference - some women desire taller partners.
