There’s been a continuous shift toward video-focused dating apps in recent years as more users opt for authentic connections that photos and text often fail to achieve. Throughout February–aka the last month of “cuffing season”–three startups are launching dating apps that use video in order to help users find love: Candid, Ditto and IRLY.
Video offers a more authentic experience for users who may have grown tired of mindlessly swiping for hours on profile photos that, honestly, start to look the same after a while. Not to mention, online dating has become plagued with scammers, catfishes, and ghosting, making it even harder to find your soulmate.
This week, TechCrunch took a look at three new video-based dating startups that are using video to connect people in advance of their real-world dates.
