GENEVA: Contrary to warnings that dating apps are encouraging superficial and short-lived flings over true romance, a Swiss study showed Wednesday that app users were more likely to be seeking long-term relationships.
Mobile apps have revolutionised the way people meet around the world, and are quickly becoming the main way couples form in many countries.
Unlike traditional dating sites, which require detailed user profiles, smartphone apps like Tinder and Grindr are largely based on rating photos with a swipe review system.
This has raised fears about the impact on the ways we interact, fall in love and create lasting connections.
