In the relatively short time they\u2019ve been around, online dating apps have transformed how we hook up, date and fall in love.<\/p>\n

These apps have long been characterised by \u201cswipe logic\u201d: users are shown profiles of others and must swipe left or right to decide whether they like them or not.<\/p>\n

When Match Group first introduced this feature through Tinder in 2012, it fundamentally changed the dating scene. <\/p>\n

Bumble itself introduced an AI detective feature in 2024 to help boost user safety by identifying fake and scam profiles.<\/p>\n

The decline of dating apps<\/h2>\n

Dating apps have become a key part of modern dating. They provide access to larger dating pools, especially for those experiencing \u201cthin\u201d dating markets due to their age, sexuality or location. <\/p>\n

But despite these benefits, research suggests individuals using these apps become increasingly burnt out and frustrated over time. Most major apps are now facing declining numbers in users and downloads \u2013 a shift characterised by swiping fatigue, safety concerns, and experiences of online racism and sexism. <\/p>\n
