Stacked bar chart titled “Tinder has lost ground to other dating apps,” showing estimated global online users (in millions) for seven apps from 2019 to 2025. Tinder remains the largest app each year, rising from roughly 55m users in 2019 to a peak around 65m in 2021–22, then declining steadily to about 50m by 2025. Competitors grow over the same period: Bumble increases from about 10m in 2019 to over 20m by 2025; Hinge expands from a very small base to around 12–13m; Grindr rises gradually to about 12m; Badoo peaks around 2021–22 then declines slightly; Match remains small and relatively flat. Overall, total users across all apps increase through 2021–22 (around 120m combined) before leveling off and slightly declining by 2025, with Tinder’s share shrinking as rivals gain users.
Gamification, hook-up culture and, let’s be honest, a few too many man-with-big-cat profile pics have led to years of decline for Tinder as it lost users and credibility. Now the OG dating app wants a do-over — and it starts with wooing back women.

Bar chart titled “Significant US data centre capacity at risk of delay”. It shows US data centre capacity (in gigawatts) by project status for 2025, 2026 and 2027. In 2027, the largest share of capacity is in projects with no construction activity observed, far exceeding those on time, accelerated or delayed, with a smaller portion not monitored. In 2026, capacity is more evenly split, though a notable share is delayed or shows no construction activity. In 2025, total capacity is much smaller, with a mix of on-time, delayed and some with no construction observed. Overall, the chart highlights a sharp increase in planned capacity for 2027 alongside a high proportion of projects showing no visible construction progress.
About 40 per cent of data centres set to boot up in 2026 and 60 per cent scheduled for 2027 are at risk of falling behind schedule, according to satellite imagery reviewed by the FT
