What is the plot of Swiped?
Swiped tells the story of Wolfe Herd, who helps to create the online dating app Tinder, revolutionising romance in the 21st century.
However, the success of the app quickly spirals out of control, leading Wolfe Herd to launch a new app that gives women the upper hand.
Bumble, the new app, requires women to make the first move and they have 24 hours to respond to a match or it expires.
She also confronts her former Tinder colleagues after leaving the company to start Bumble.
The film was directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, who also co-wrote the script with Bill Parker and Kim Caramele.
