We surveyed over 18,000 people in 27 countries, of whom 84% were either currently using a dating app (37%) or had used one in the past, to learn more about their experiences.

…Users of these apps – in particular 18-24 year olds – are sharing personally identifiable information (53% share their real name) and linking social media accounts to their profiles (25% of people worldwide). In fact, 7% of users were explicitly using dating apps to promote their social media accounts.

The result is that 65% of our respondents are worried about being scammed on these apps.

And worryingly, 15% reported they’ve already been scammed.

…In this 3-part report, we’ll show you what our survey reveals about:

• • How people around the world use dating apps today
  • How people feel about the role of technology in dating
  • How people feel about relationships in this brave new world
