What is Swipes?
Swipes is a dating app launched in 2019 as an alternative to Tinder, with a focus on finding meaningful long-term relationships rather than casual encounters. The app uses a familiar Tinder-style swipe left/right interface to browse potential matches quickly and easily.
Some key features that differentiate Swipes from Tinder include:
- An algorithm that matches people based on personality and interests, not just appearances
- Options to filter potential matches by relationship intention (casual, long-term, etc)
- More profile details and prompts to showcase personality
- An interface designed to foster deeper conversations, not superficial flirting
While Tinder pioneered the swipe mechanic that made dating apps so addictively fun, many users now find it too oriented towards hookups and lacking substance. Swipes aims to course correct these flaws by promoting compatibility over first impressions or pickup lines. The app has been gaining traction as a viable option for relationship-minded singles since its release.
