There are a lot of dating apps in circulation right now, so it might be really difficult to pick one. But when you decide on one, the installation process is usually pretty straightforward.
Most of them, especially the popular ones, can be found on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. So, just head on over to your app store and search for the dating app that you have decided to go with.
You will be shown a list of suggestions, and on some Android phones, you’ll notice the logo of the app close to the right suggestion. If yours does not show that, the first suggestion is usually the correct one, so you can just go ahead and click that.
If you’re using an Android device, clicking the right suggestion will take you to the point where you can click “install”. But if you are on an iOS, you might have to click a “get” button before the “install” button.
Now, remember that most dating apps are free to download, including the popular ones like Tinder, Badoo, and Bumble. So, if you are asked to pay for anything at this point, that’s a sign that you don’t have the right app.
Now, go ahead and click on the button that says “install”. Once you do that, the app will ask for access to a series of functions on your phone (note that that heavily depends on the app). Clicking “Accept” means that you are allowing the dating app access to those functions. After that, download will begin.
With the app downloaded, you will need to click the “open” button which will automatically take you to the app itself. At this point, you will need to set up your account, which usually involves you connecting to one of your social media profiles.
You will also need to enter some information virtually, but connecting to your social media allows for most of the setup process to be automatic.
That said, some apps allow you to forgo connecting to your social media account if you don’t want those two connected.
Speaking of which, there are a number of things you want to consider while choosing a dating app, and the alternatives that it offers is one. The primary factor, though, has to be your dating needs.
There are a plethora of dating apps out there and they each cater to a divergent needs. So, before you click that “install” button on that dating app you just discovered, make sure you know exactly what you want.
Another thing you might want to consider is the regions where these apps are popular and commonly used. For instance, Tinder is very popular in the US but not so much in Europe, while Badoo is more popular in Europe and Asia but not so much in the US.
Picking an app that is popular in your region means that more people around you are on that app, which means more dating options for you.
Anyway, once you’ve decided, you can then go through the installation process just explained, and you’re good to go.
