Best Dating Apps in India
Tinder
This is one of the most famous dating apps in the country. 60% of the youth generation does use tinder either secretly or openly, depending on their own preferences.
It has a huge database and is currently even growing further. The app asks the individual to sign up using either Facebook id’s or Google accounts and fetches their base information such as name, profile etc along with their interest in men, women or others.
The app gives an option to swipe right if you end up liking someone and swipe left if you do not like someone. If two people end up liking each other, it leads to a match and then either of you has the luxury to start the chat option. However, on Tinder, a person cannot search by your name.
TrulyMadly
An emerging app, TrulyMadly is doing well in the Indian market. It takes the verification of profiles extremely seriously.
Before actually making an account, an individual need to submit their identity proof. Hence, when the profile goes live the app starts to show the matched profiles.
The unique feature of the app is that it ends up showing trusts scored which are based on all the things verified by the individual. Hence, the more score signifies a more trusted profile.
If in case any individual faces any problem in their profile, then the other person is traceable always.
Just like Tinder, this app also gives an option to dislike, like or pass the other person based on their profile. This app doesn’t allow the option of screenshots. Hence TrulyMadly is one of the strictest dating apps in India.
Happn
This app like any other dating app is a location-based app that has a very unique concept of matching.
The app allows the individual to match with the people they have crossed their paths within the real life. Hence, while traveling if you find someone attractive on the way, one can check if that person is on Happn or not.
If you are lucky, then you can go through the profile and send a ‘Secret like’. If the other person does the same process then it will be a match.
Hence, unlike the other two apps mentioned above, this app is not just based on photos. In this case, you end up meeting the person in real life and then match with the person.
Woo
This is a little different dating app that mainly focuses on professionals who are well-educated. The app gives a number of features to chat such as Q & A, Voice Intro’s, Tag search, Direct Messages, etc.
The app gives an option to voice call the other person. Hence, in this case, you don’t need another person’s number to call which maintains safety.
The app does not share any women’s name, location or number due to safety reasons. Also, just like tinder it uses the same algorithm of swipe right, left and the matching process is also the same.
However, Woo puts a limit on the number of profiles one can visit a day.
OkCupid
As the name suggests, it is a very interesting app. Also, it is an international app as well which runs in 113 countries as of now.
Currently, OkCupid is one of the oldest dating apps in the country. To get relevant matches, one needs to answer a number of questions.
However, the questions are customized according to the country. However, a few dating apps one can search for someone by their username on the app.
This app gives an option to hide your profile or block someone.
Hinge
Another popular dating app, Hinge uses the Facebook signup of an individual to sign up and helps you match with friends of friends. It has a model of ‘Friend’s Chain’.
Hence, you will end up getting suggestions which include your own friends, friends of friends, 3rd-degree friends, etc. This is the best app to talk to someone you know but not able to gather the courage to talk to.
On the creation of a profile, the app asks the user to submit their photos and answer a few questions. Although the app is free, it does give a subscription option of $12.99 per month.
Coffee Meets Bagel
This is a dating app primarily meant for the woman which gives them strength and power. Basically, the woman in the app receives the suggestions only from those guys who have shown any sort of interest in them in the past. On the other hand, guys have the option only to like or pass the coming matches.
Users on coffee meet Bagel get a suggestion only once a day. Hence, it saves the time of browsing through and finding matches.
Aisle
This is one of the most interesting apps in the country which has a very unique way of finding a match. To log in to this app one needs a Linkedin or Facebook app.
Before the user actually starts using the app, he or she needs to answer a number of questions. This comes in the part of the verification process. Once the process is over, the app gives you a green signal if it approves your profile.
The core aim of the Aisle is to provide individuals with meaningful dates rather than just random ones.
Badoo
Globally, it is one of the largest dating apps with the maximum number of subscribers. Almost 400+ million users use the app daily.
Badoo is very similar to the working of Tinder but is more detailed in its platform. The app provides app preference to find the most suitable match for the individual.
The users of the app login through the email I’d or can also log in through the social media accounts. The app does require the individual to get their contact numbers also verified.
Bumble
This is the newest dating cum professional app whose co-founder is the Bollywood diva, Priyanka Chopra. Bumble has divided its app into three sections:
- where the users can have a business chat with people.
- where users can have a casual chat
- where a woman can chat with each other. Bumble is a female-centric app, to make people look more powerful.
Hence, if you are looking for a dating app then the above-mentioned apps are the best currently.
The adoption of Dating Apps in India has been slow. One reason is cultural norms. Some women are hesitant to use dating apps because they fear moral policing. In addition, women fear the risk of meeting someone from their own family. However, with the help of Covid-19 lockdowns, these apps have made inroads into smaller towns.
The app has an excellent algorithm that matches users with compatible matches. It also lets women endorse others to increase their trust score. Its interface is user-friendly and has a decent number of reviews. Another popular dating app is Bumble, which uses a gender-based algorithm to suggest matches. Users can even find matches through their friends’ endorsements.
Tinder is another popular app that is popular with Indian women. Users can build profiles based on their interests and location, and can start conversations with those who match their profile. Since Tinder doesn’t require a phone number to register, it attracts fake accounts. However, many users have had long-term love relationships via this app.
Another popular dating app in India is GoGaga. It allows users to connect with friends of friends, and can even introduce their single friends to each other. The app’s algorithm screens profiles and blocks out scammers. Users can also use credits to talk to potential matches.
