Geneva - Contrary to warnings that dating apps are encouraging superficial and short-lived flings over true romance, a Swiss study showed 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.

Tinder may be more than just a dating app for casual hookups. Those who have been wondering whether they may be able to find a long-term relationship through the popular app may have just gotten their answer since a new study showed that such a long-term relationship can blossom out of these apps.
A study showed that there are couples who found each other on Tinder, and did not just meet for a night, but established a relationship that was for keeps. One Tinder user, Anthoni Allen-Zouhry, who was among the couples that were studied by researchers, has been married to her partner whom she met on Tinder and they are now expecting their first child.
