Best dating apps in Indonesia: what the first Google results name

The first Google Indonesia results page for "best dating apps in indonesia" holds eight results: three ranking lists, two app-store pages and one forum thread. None sits on an Indonesian domain, and one result is dated 2025 or 2026.

Tinder is named in two of the three lists. Pure, Hinge, Badoo and OkCupid are named once each, and one more app appears once. Hinge is in a list but has no Indonesia App Store listing in the November 5 lookup. The results are in English, and searches in local languages were not run.

Dating apps blocked in Indonesia

Indonesia's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Kemenkominfo) blocked the apps BoyAhoy, Grindr and Blued on September 15, 2016, at the request of a panel of stakeholders. Republika's report says LGBT-related content was declared as promoting "sexual deviancy". The same article reports a police disclosure of a link between Grindr and a prostitution ring that offered minors to gay men.

That report is ten years old, and the sources checked do not give the current status of the block. The November 5, 2026 lookup returned no Indonesia listing for Grindr, and none for Hinge either; no source checked ties either gap to the 2016 order. Apps for LGBTQ+ audiences have their own page: LGBTQ+ hookup and dating apps.

Age verification under PP Tunas

Government Regulation 17 of 2025, called PP Tunas, covers child protection in electronic systems and began to apply in March 2026. On May 4, 2026, Mediodecci Lustarini, Secretary of the Directorate General for Digital Space Oversight at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi), said platforms that set a minimum age of 18 or 21 must implement effective verification systems, according to ANTARA.

The article does not mention dating apps. The statement concerns any platform with its own 18+ or 21+ minimum age, so whether a given dating app falls under it is not stated.

Local apps on the Indonesia App Store

Of the eleven apps in the Indonesia local list, one is marked local: Omi, with 91,963 ratings on its Indonesia listing and a title that includes Chinese characters. The other ten are marked international. Bumpy - International Dating has the most ratings among them at 15,303, followed by Casual Dating & Flirt - Kasual with 516, Flava: Casual Dating & Chat with 335, Instinct: Casual Dating App with 162 and FET: Kinky BDSM Dating App with 13.
