How to create an App Like Tinder

There are some basic features that all dating apps have

Dating App Features

1. Sign in: With this feature, users start interacting with the applications. To give them a better user experience, include login through popular sources like email, social media, or phone number.
2. Geolocation: Geographical data is one of the most important features of dating apps. The main selection of profiles for matches is based on the location of the users. Your task here is to create as flexible a geographic configuration as possible. 
3. For example, allow users to control when the app can access their location, let them specify distance to discover potential matches, offer geolocation management.
4. User Profiles – Another critical feature that cannot be excluded. Through the profile pages, users must create a good presentation of them. The user profile should allow people to display photos and videos, and some basic questions highlight their interests. It is the main tool of the audience to attract the attention of others on the dating app.
5. Matching Mechanism: Either by swiping or liking, this is how app users start interacting with each other. Please clarify this feature, so people can easily understand what they need to do: swipe right, double-tap, click an icon, or whatever.
6. Private Chat - Enable communication in your dating app. For a better and more satisfying user experience, you can allow users to send not only messages, but also media (GIFs, stickers). You can connect video calls or audio messages to make communication livelier.
7. Notifications: Don't let users miss out on your love life. Your app's audience should receive timely notifications about activity. But it's more important to allow them to adjust notification settings: turn them on and off, select the types of activities to receive notifications about.
8. Payment gateways: they are essential to generate income. If users are ready to spend money within the dating app, let them do so conveniently through the online payments.
