Anyone looking for a date can now sneakily browse Tinder in class or at work without having to pull out your phone and make it obvious that you're slacking off.
That's because, as of today, Tinder is available on the Web in select areas. This means you can "swipe from any browser, on any device, anywhere in the world," Tinder wrote in a blog post. Until now, the only way to access Tinder was via its mobile app.
On the down side, this new version of Tinder is still pretty limited in terms of access at the moment, and those in the US are unable to join the browser-based fun. Tinder is currently testing it in a handful of countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines, and Sweden.
A Tinder spokeswoman told PCMag that the company may bring web access to additional markets, but it depends on how the tests go and what the user response is like.
It should also be noted that the new online experience is "slightly more limited" than the mobile app for now, Tinder said. On the Web, you'll see a match's profile alongside messages, so you can check them out as you chat.

The company said this new version of Tinder is perfect for those times when you're out of storage on your phone or in an area with slow network speeds.
"Mobile phones not allowed in class? Just fire up your laptop and swipe incognito," Tinder wrote. "Cubicle life got you down? Now you can toggle between spreadsheets and Super Likes in a flash. 'Not Enough Storage?' Not a problem. Don't let life get in the way of your Tinder game."
Meanwhile, because some areas still have limited access to Facebook, Tinder is also testing in "various markets" the ability to login via SMS directly from a mobile phone.
