To find out more about the situation in China, users of the dating app Tinder use their accounts for research purposes.
The app is also used as a messaging tool by users who set their location on Wuhan in their settings so that they receive the latest information on the corona virus. The city has been cordoned off since January 23.
However, the users quickly realized that the information provided by the Chinese government was consistent with what the Tinder users said.

One user shared the official statement from the app side:
Another user tweeted: “You know if the situation is serious, if Tinder warns you about Corona.”
