Match Group is an American internet and technology company headquartered in Dallas, Texas.[1] It owns and operates the largest global portfolio of popular online dating services including Tinder, Match.com, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, OurTime, and other dating global brands.[2] The company was owned by IAC until July 2020 when Match Group was spun off as a separate, public company. As of 2019[update], the company had 9.3 million subscribers, of which 4.6 million were in North America.[3] Japan is the company's second largest market, after the United States.[4]
In February 2009, IAC incorporated Match Group as a conglomerate of Match.com and other dating sites it owned.[3][5] In July 2009, Match Group's Match.com acquired People Media from American Capital for $80 million in cash. People Media operated dating sites BlackPeopleMeet.com and OurTime, which became part of Match Group's portfolio, and powered AOL Personals.[6]

In February 2010, Match.com acquired dating site Singlesnet.[7] In February 2011, Match Group acquired OkCupid for $50 million. OkCupid was the first free, advertising-based product added to the Match Group portfolio.[8]
In 2012, online dating application Tinder was founded within Hatch Labs, a startup incubator run by parent company IAC.[9] The application allowed users to anonymously swipe to like or dislike other profiles based on their photos, common interests and a small bio.[10] On November 19, 2015, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[11]
In 2017, Match Group launched Tinder Gold, which established Tinder as the highest grossing non-gaming app globally.[9] In the summer of 2017, the company offered to acquire Bumble for $450 million.[12]
In July 2018, Match Group launched a Safety Advisory Council comprising a group of experts focused on preventing sexual assault across its portfolio of products. The council included #MeToo movement founder Tarana Burke and worked with organizations like the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.[17]
In August 2018, Tinder co-founder Sean Rad filed a $2 billion lawsuit against Match Group, claiming that Match Group and its parent company IAC purposely undervalued Tinder to avoid paying out stock options to the company's original team.[18] Rad and his co-plaintiffs also accused the former Tinder CEO, Greg Blatt, of sexual harassment.[19] The company stated that the allegations were "meritless."[20] In October 2019, Blatt filed a defamation lawsuit against Rad and Tinder founding member Rosette Pambakian seeking at least $50 million in damages.[21][22]
In January 2020, Match Group announced an investment and partnership with safety platform Noonlight. The partnership incorporated new safety tools in Match Group's products, including emergency assistance, location tracking and photo verification.
In January 2020, Mandy Ginsberg stepped down as chief executive officer due to personal reasons.[28][29][30] Shar Dubey, then President of Match Group, became the CEO of the company effective March 1, 2020.[31][32]
In March 2020, Match Group became the first tech company to support Earn It Act of 2020, a bipartisan bill with the support of President Trump to combat online child sexual exploitation but widely criticized for its predicted negative impact on privacy and computer security.[33]
In July 2020, the company completed the separation from IAC. The separation was the largest ever for IAC, as Match Group then had a market capitalization of $30 billion.[34] After the separation, four new members joined Match Group's board of directors: Stephen Baily, Melissa Brenner, Ryan Reynolds and Wendi Murdoch.[35][36][37]
In February 2021, Match Group announced that it would be acquiring Korea-based social network company Hyperconnect for $1.73 billion in both cash and stock.[41] This deal is reportedly Match Group's largest acquisition to date.
Also in February 2021, Match Group took legal action against dating app Muzmatch, the online Muslim dating app, calling the app a "Tinder Clone".[42] The Match Group won the legal battle in London courts in April 2022.[43]
In 2019, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Match, alleging that Match had engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices by allowing potentially fraudulent accounts to express interest in non-subscribers, who were enticed to subscribe. The FTC further alleged that Match offered false promises of guarantees, failed to provide support to customers who unsuccessfully disputed charges, and made it overly difficult for users to cancel their subscriptions.
Match Group disputed these claims, alleging that they were based upon cherry-picked evidence and that the FTC had misrepresented internal emails.[46][47][48][49][50] In September 2020, Reuters reported that the Department of Justice had closed their probe into the complaint.[51]
In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, in its 2023 yearly report, Match Group announced that it would fully exit the Russian market by the 30th of June. As of early May 2023, it was implementing measures to limit access to its services. The company said that such moves are part of its commitment to human rights protection.[52]
The redirect URI 'msauth://com.[PACKAGENAME]/[SIGNATURE HASH] specified in the request does not match the redirect URIs configured for the application 'AZURE CLIENT ID'. Make sure the redirect URI sent in the request matches one added to your application in the Azure portal
I examined the reply URL in both Azure and in my app settings in Wrap and they match apart from one character in the signature hash. It appears that Azure is substituting the equals sign at the end of the hash with the HTML entity for equals. I changed the redirect URI in the app to match the one in the registration and rebuilt/resigned etc but get the same error.

The IsMatch function tests whether a text string matches a pattern that can comprise ordinary characters, predefined patterns, or a regular expression. The Match and MatchAll functions return what was matched, including sub-matches.
Use IsMatch to validate what a user has typed in a Text input control. For example, you can confirm whether the user has entered a valid email address before the result is saved to your data source. If the entry doesn't match your criteria, add other controls that prompt the user to correct the entry.
Use Match to extract the first text string that matches a pattern and MatchAll to extract all text strings that match. You can also extract sub-matches to parse complex strings.
IsMatch returns true if the text string matches the pattern or false if it doesn't. Match returns blank if no match is found that can be tested with the IsBlank function. MatchAll returns an empty table if no match is found that can be tested with the IsEmpty function.
For example, when used with the IsMatch function, the string "Hello" matches the pattern "Hello" exactly. No more and no less. The string "hello!" doesn't match the pattern because of the exclamation point on the end and because the case is wrong for the letter "h". (See MatchOptions for ways to modify this behavior.)
In the pattern language, certain characters are reserved for special purposes. To use these characters, either prefix the character with a \ (backslash) to indicate that the character should be taken literally, or use one of the predefined patterns described later in this topic. This table lists the special characters:
Predefined patterns provide a simple way to match either one of a set of characters or a sequence of multiple characters. Use the string-concatenation operator & to combine your own text strings with members of the Match enum:
Regular expressions are very powerful, available in many programming languages, and used for a wide variety of purposes. They can also often look like a random sequence of punctuation marks. This article doesn't describe all aspects of regular expressions, but a wealth of information, tutorials, and tools are available on the web. 152ee80cbc
