In 2023, Tinder launched It Starts with a Swipe, a Gen Z-targeted campaign focused on authentic connections and distancing itself from its reputation as a hookup app. Other major dating app players introduced new features like Bumble Barbie Compliments and Hinge dropped a Distraction-Free Dating guide.

What’s more, several entirely new dating apps launched for a new generation of daters who value authentic connections and fun ways to get to know another person through games, their sense of humor or the metaverse.
