In 2014, he was promoted to CEO of Tinder when Sean Rad resigned. Blatt had been the company’s CMO, a position which helped him gain insight into the company’s strategy and operations.
In 2015, after a software update, Tinder was met with complaints that messages were not being delivered to users’ inboxes. Though it was initially reported that these messages were deleted by staff members who did not want spam in their own inboxes, it was later revealed that Tinder had a bug responsible for the up to 2-3 day drops in messages. The bug has since been fixed and new features have been added such as swipe indicators so users know when someone is swiping right on them or read receipts for sent messages.
