Are dating apps the answer to finding love?
Swiping has become a popular way to meet a partner, but research by market firm Sagaci suggests that only around 28 per cent of people in Africa have ever used a dating app.
In this episode of Focus on Africa: The Conversation, we explore the world of dating apps on the African continent. Around 350 million people worldwide are using dating apps to look for romantic connections. But the picture looks different in Africa.
We hear from a Nigerian couple who met on a popular dating app and ended up getting married. And a Kenyan woman who says her experience with the apps left her heartbroken.
