Dating apps by country

Dating apps by country differ first in the local App Store. The iPhone store of each country lists some of the 32 apps covered here and leaves out others, and the gaps change from place to place. Google Play and web availability by country are not covered, so an app missing from a store may still reach that country through a browser; dating sites without an app download are covered separately.

The same few facts are given for each country: how many of the 32 apps the store lists, which are missing, the local apps it lists (Instinct, LOVOO, Inner Circle, Bumpy and Flava recur in many of these lists), and what page one of a local search returned. Here a list means a page-one result that ranks apps. The searches were in English; local-language queries were not run. A local rule appears only where one was verified, with its date, its source and whether it applies to dating apps. A country with no rule given had none verified.

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates App Store lists 17 of the 32 apps. The 15 with no listing are Hinge, HUD, HER, Plenty of Fish, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Ashley Madison, eharmony, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime, Taimi, Lex, 3Fun and Doublelist. Its local-apps list includes LOVOO, Inner Circle, Bumpy, Flava and Kasual. Page one of the local search had 3 lists among 7 results, with 2 on the country's own domains. No local rule about dating apps was verified.

Argentina

Argentina's App Store lists 25 of the 32 apps and has no listing for Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, eharmony, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime or Doublelist. The local-apps list includes Instinct, LOVOO, Inner Circle, Bumpy and Flava. Page one of the local search held 5 lists among 8 results, none on Argentine domains.

Austria

Austria reaches 26 of 32 in the App Store, short Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist. Its local-apps list includes POPCORN, Parship, Instinct, LOVOO and Inner Circle. On page one of the local search, 3 lists appeared among 8 results, none on Austrian domains.

Canada

Canada's App Store lists all 32 apps, with none missing. Page one of the local search held 4 lists among 8 results, none on Canadian domains. In August 2016 Canada's Privacy Commissioner and Australia's Information Commissioner jointly reported on the operator of Ashley Madison after its July 2015 breach, finding inadequate information security and indefinite retention of deactivated profiles (official report). Bill S-209, the Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act, passed the Senate on April 15, 2026 and went to a House of Commons committee on October 28, 2026. It is not yet law, and the bill's page shows no summary, so whether it reaches dating apps is not stated.

Switzerland

Twenty-six of the 32 apps have a Swiss App Store listing; Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist do not. Fruitz, POPCORN and Parship show up in the local-apps list beside Instinct and LOVOO. The local search returned 4 lists among 8 results on page one, with 1 on Switzerland's own domains.

Chile

Chile has the same count and the same absences as Argentina: 25 of 32, without Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, eharmony, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist. Instinct, LOVOO, Inner Circle, Bumpy and Flava make up the local-apps list. Its local search ran to 9 results on page one, 5 of them lists and 1 on Chile's own domains.

Colombia

Colombia's App Store lists 24 of the 32 apps; Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, eharmony, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist are not there. Page one of the local search had 4 lists among 8 results, none on Colombian domains. The one local item is a foreign embassy's warning, not a Colombian law. In January 2024 the US Embassy in Bogota reported eight suspicious deaths of US citizens in Medellin in November and December 2023, several involving dating apps. It advised meeting only in public places and avoiding hotel rooms and residences; the alert names no app. More on risks is under safety on dating apps.

Czech Republic

The Czech App Store matches Austria's: 26 of 32 listed, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist absent. Instinct, LOVOO, Inner Circle, Bumpy and Flava are in the local-apps list. Of 8 results on page one of the local search, 3 were lists and none sat on Czech domains.

Norway

Norway's App Store lists 26 of the 32 apps, without Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist.

Norway's data protection authority fined Grindr 65 million Norwegian kroner (about 7.2 million US dollars at the time) for passing user data, including GPS location, to third parties for behavioral advertising without a legal basis (The Local, December 15, 2021). The Borgarting Court of Appeal upheld the fine on October 21, 2025, and Grindr had a month to seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court (GRC Report).

The consumer authorities' network, led by the Swedish Consumer Agency and the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets, had found personalized prices applied without notice, in breach of EU consumer law. The action is EU-wide; see dating app prices explained.

Paxton that Texas H.B. 1181, which requires age checks on certain commercial websites with sexually explicit content, survives intermediate scrutiny (court opinion). Texas SB 2420 requires age checks at the app store level; a judge blocked it in December 2025, the Fifth Circuit stayed that order in June 2026 and the Supreme Court declined to vacate the stay in July 2026 (CCIA, secondary source).
