How the pandemic affected online dating technology: 5 new projects in this area

In March 2020, Tinder recorded a historic maximum in swipes per day - users of the service swiped 3 billion times. From March to May 2020, OkCupid user activity increased by 700%. And the number of video calls on Bumble increased by 70%. At the same time, despite the quarantine and its numerous restrictions, new technologies in this area were actively developed.





In this article, we will look at new dating services and formats that have appeared or began to actively develop during the pandemic. 





VOX: Voice Dating

Vox is one of the most unusual apps in this review - instead of traditional photo swipes, users are encouraged to listen to audio recordings of different people's voices. The general mechanics, however, remains the same - if you liked the voice, then like the user and, in case of reciprocity, get his or her contacts. 





Also in Vox there is a format of quick acquaintances with a random interlocutor - the user is given 60 seconds to decide whether the partner likes it. In addition, Vox also has built-in games - after the start of communication, the interlocutors can invite each other to play truth and action or go through an audio quest for two.
