The pandemic and the restrictions that came with it have led to an increase in the popularity of dating apps. For example, the total number of swipes on Tinder increased by 11% last year, with the daily number of swipes surpassing the 3 billion mark for the first time as early as March 2020. This is hardly surprising when you consider that many places where people used to meet and go on dates were shut down repeatedly in 2020 and at the beginning of 2021.
