Hope you’re feeling good about your Tinder profile pic choices, because they’re about to get even more action.

The dating app has just rolled out a redesign that puts your photos front and center. Starting today they'll be larger -- extending all the way to the screen edge -- which is either excellent or terrifying depending on how you feel about people inspecting your face.

Pics are also easier and faster to scan through. You can now tap on the edge of a pic to go to the next one or skip back -- similar to how you navigate between Snapchat stories. If you hit the bottom, you’ll see their complete profile.

AdultFriendFinder readers’ pick for casual connections
