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 longterm 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.

Dec. 30 (UPI) Dating app users are more likely to find lasting love than fleeting relationships, according to a study published Wednesday by the journal PLOS ONE.

In addition, partners who met via dating apps express the same level of satisfaction about their relationship as other couples, and are more diverse in terms of educational and geographic background, according to the researchers.
The survey shows that,
last year 8.2% of those who do identify as religious were victims of discrimination because of their beliefs. Most of them were Muslims (35%), followed by people from other religions (26%), while discrimination remains low for Catholics and Protestants (6.2% and 4.6%).
“Discrimination can occur in several areas of life (work, school or training, finding a place to live, etc.). Most of the discrimination (50%) is in the context of conversations”, CFO explained.
In 2019, “
26% of the population attended a religious service more than five times a year. 40% attended one to five times a year. Of the latter, 87% did so for social reasons, such as weddings or funerals”, the survey says.
