Tinder is making changes to improve the treatment of transgender people on its app.

Many have wrongly had their profiles removed from the app because Tinder imposes an automatic ban if a profile receives lots of complaints.

Tinder says many bans had resulted from "unfair" complaints made about trans people "simply for being who they are".

They say transgender women had been particularly affected by the complaints and subsequent harassment.

It further says they would now give more feedback on why complaints had been made.
