In the same year, the U.S. online dating audience size is estimated to reach 37.5 million.

No wonder why the demand to create a dating app is so high.

Today, Tinder is roaring with success. But that’s not the only option in the market. You have several other popular dating apps like Coffee Meets Bagel, Happn, The League, Bumble, Hinge, etc. In this article post, we are going to talk about such popular dating apps. Every dating app has some unique features in it. We are going to highlight those special and unique features here.

Tinder

See who has liked you!

No, this not the tagline of the app. It is the special feature of Tinder. Before swiping right on someone’s profile, you can be sure whether they have swiped right on you or not and accordingly you can act.

Undoubtedly, knowing or being able to see which profiles have liked you first can give you a confidence boost and once you swipe right from your end, instantly you can start messaging with them.

However, you have to be the Tinder Gold member to enjoy this feature.

Coffee Meets Bagel

Create an impressive video of 8 seconds.

This is an interesting feature where CMB users can create an 8-second long video on the "question of the day". Thus, members can get a bit more hints on someone’s personality and thoughts maybe! And to be honest, other than meeting in person, a video is the only way where you can actually see the person. So, the chances of catfishing here are almost zero. Interesting, right?

Once the "question of the day" refreshes, the video will automatically disappear.

Happn

Voice message can be sent.

Happn lets you know where you and your potential matches passed by each other! It uses geo-tracking for that. Sounds cool, right? But here, we are going to talk about another unique feature offered by Happn i.e. Happn users can send voice messages.

When matches can communicate over voice messages, listening to the other person’s voice before meeting in person can do some wonders!

The League

Use a league ticket to skip the waitlist and show up earlier in your crush’s feed.

In this dating application, you get 5 matches per day. As per the app’s algorithm, 2 of these 5 matches come from each user’s "hearted queue" that is ranked in the likeliness of a match occurring. Also, these two have already liked you. Seems difficult? You can always talk to a top-rated iOS app development company in India who specializes in dating app development.

Now, if you don’t want to waste time waiting in the queue, make your move with the league ticket and augment the chances of matching in just a day. While cutting to the front line, you can add a message as well! Feels like getting a bonus point, right? However, the power move will cost you just $7.

Bumble

Send a photo or selfie while chatting.

When you can easily exchange photos with your matches, chatting becomes funnier. Maybe rather than just saying "How’s your day going?", you can send a photo or selfie showing how your day is going so far and can ask your matches what about them. It helps in personalizing your messages. You can either choose photos from your phone’s camera roll or can just take a selfie.

This is another way to know someone better before meeting in person. Also, the chances of catfishing are less.

Badoo

Have a celeb crush? Search for lookalikes.

Though it sounds a bit funny this feature is interesting. Using this dating application, you can search for your celeb crush lookalikes and match with them. Badoo Lookalikes feature uses facial recognition software to find the celebrity doppelgangers for you. Simply search through celebs on the app and it will take care of the rest.

If you are trying to find someone who looks like your Facebook friend, this app lets you do that as well. Or, upload a picture of anyone, and find similar looking people.

Hinge

Profiles with video.

Swap any of our profile photos with a video that already exists on your Facebook, Instagram, or iPhone camera roll. It will start playing automatically on a loop whenever a potential match scrolls through your profile on Hinge. By default, the sound will be muted but you can enable it as well.
