Dating services refer to online platforms where members can connect with new people and find new partners. Online dating services typically offer digital messaging that enhances communication and helps match the user with a suitable compatible individual. With user-friendly interface, real-time messaging, broad social network, and location-based dating features, online dating services are gaining traction among the young population. Typically, users conduct the search on their own by applying search filters based on factors, such as age, gender and location, to find an instant match according to their lifestyle and outlook. To enhance communication between people, several dating services offer in-app voice calling and video calling features, along with text messaging.
