Dating apps have seen a big increase in usage during the pandemic.

Tinder revealed that 2020 was its busiest year to date. That seems to have carried over into 2021.

Most users of Tinder are in their late teens or early 20s according to app bosses.

Between January and March of this year, usage records were at an all-time high.

Despite things opening up, dating App Hinge says video calls will still be a big thing.

Tinder, among others, in wake of the ongoing pandemic installed a video chat feature for users.

Experts say the feature will stay despite life slowly getting back to normal.

Apps like Hinge, OKCupid and Bumble have installed badges to show Covid-19 vaccination in recent weeks.
