Latest Top 10 Dating Apps in India – Tinder, Happn, Bumble....

Dating isn’t a new concept, globally! But for Indians, it’s something that we are still exploring. I happen to know a lot of friends who are couples that have met through social media and unlike what the society aunties have us believe, some are still strong. For people with common sense, they know that the medium doesn’t define the path of a relationship but the efforts people put. So, I decided I’d put some efforts into making a list of the best dating apps in India.

Obviously, you’ll be entirely responsible for putting your pictures and information on the following apps (made abundantly clear by the developers) so do everything at your own risk. If I have scared you, my bad! I don’t mean to but a little caution never hurts, right? Dating is fun as you not meet people whom you might end-up dating, there are chances that you could also meet folks who might be your buddies somewhere down the line. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s see which app does the trick for you!

1. Tinder

The very first app on our list of best dating apps in India is Tinder. Developed by Tinder, it is synonymous with dating. It’s a well-known dating app which is preferred not only by Indian users but also globally.

Tinder’s algorithm is its true star as it allows the users to connect with a person in less than a minute.

Unique features like mutual friends, the super-like option, etc. are proof that Tinder doubles as a social app. The user gets ultimate control over their privacy and profile content visibility.

The app lets you explore your secret crushes by liking their profile in incognito mode and if they like you too, bam! You have a date.
