All you need to know about the new dating app andwemet
There are so many dating apps available that are mainly for dating, finding people, one-night stands, and a lot more. But in this era of such dating apps, andwemet is something new. This app is looking to break the stereotypes that we generally have when we talk about virtual dating. In this app, you can not get an entry unless you’re 25 and for that, you need the government-approved ID for verifying your age. Also, getting an account is not a single click easy. You need to answer few questions before you get an account approved here.
The founder, Shalini Singh said-
“The aim is not to be known as a dating or matchmaking app but as a social platform for new-age relationships. When answering questions such as whether they are okay with long-distance relationships, having a partner shorter than them (in case of women), having a working professional as a partner (in case of men), if they’d like to own pets, how much of a role their parents would play in the decision-making process, users are able to filter matches based on uncomfortable truths that they often fail to confront in the initial euphoria of getting into a relationship.
Users who do not finish answering these questions will not be approved by the platform. Further, having a legitimate ID provides some validation of interacting with an authentic profile. Singh said andwemet also encourages users to discuss relationship set-ups besides conventional marriage, such as live-ins or companionship for them to know “marriage should not be the only acceptable form of a committed relationship.”
This app does have its web version where you can sign up for free.

Want to continue your dating talks? Confirm if you’re vaccinated first
If you’re someone waiting to find a match for you while using a dating app, then here’s what you need the most. GET VACCINATED. Yes, according to a popular report given by the famous dating app OkCupid, almost 763% of conversations are happening only around vaccination since March 2021. These conversations are mainly about if they got vaccinated or not which surely indicates that it is indeed a deal breaker as of now.
Now since people are already worried about if the other one is vaccinated or not, dating apps are now introducing a feature that says “I’m vaccinated”. It will be a batch that can be added to the bio of profiles. Of course, it requires the certificate for verification purposes.
As per OkCupid- “As of June 2021, 69 per cent men and 71 per cent women [on OkCupid] say they would take the Covid vaccine. Compared to only 15 per cent men and 13 per cent women who admit to being averse to the idea of getting themselves vaccinated,”.
“The badge appears in-profile and is expected to result in a 35 per cent increase in match rate with others who are either vaccinated or getting vaccinated soon,” he added.
“While the vaccination feature on bio is pretty new, we’re seeing the excitement around it. Almost 30 percent of new users have added this badge to their profile and as more people get vaccinated, we should see this number go up,” Ravi Mittal, founder & CEO, QuackQuack, adds.
Woo, a women-centric dating app said- “More than 60 percent of our users are willing to go on date with someone who has received at least the first dose of the vaccination. Within a month, 19 percent of our users have already received their vaccination badges and should reach close to 40 percent by July 15,”.

The smartphone app for finding love, whether it be fleeting or life-long, unveiled new features including playful “Hot Takes”: multiple-choice questions to see whether users’ “flirty banter” is in sync. Tinder is also providing an option to add video clips to user profiles to provide glimpses of people’s lives, interests or adventures. As the pandemic accelerated trends of remote work, learning and socializing, it also gave momentum to cultivating new relationships more deeply online before committing to connecting in the real world. “Twenty-somethings today want something a little bit different, which is more substantive and more virtual-first.
“That trend, generationally, was pre-Covid. Then Covid just really cemented it across all generations. The ultimate need for people is to meet offline and to have a real relationship in the real world. ” He further added.
Tinder has got both, premium and a free version available. The app is already been used in 190 countries. This feature has already been introduced in many countries and people are looking forward to it.
Why Google is banning Sugar Daddy apps in India?
Google is now planning to ban all the Sugar Daddy apps available in India. Recently, in an interview, the app developer stated that they are now going to forbid the apps that are either providing sexual acts in exchange for any monetary or other kinds of compensation.
If you’re not known with this term, Sugar daddy apps are those apps where older men are involved in young women where they are ready to spend money on them in exchange for sexual favors. It is now a thing that is being common in India and if we see the numbers, then India has the highest number of sugar daddies than any of the other Asian country has.
The country has around 3,38,000 sugar daddies already in India followed by Indonesia that has around 60,250 sugar daddies involved. Google has now strictly taken the step to prohibit these kinds of apps where anyone is compensated sexually.
As per Google, the company is planning to ban “apps that promote sex-related entertainment, escort services or other services that may be interpreted as providing sexual acts in exchange for compensation, including, but not limited to compensated dating or sexual arrangements where one participant is expected or implied to provide money, gifts or financial support to another participant (‘sugar dating’).”
Google Play Store is going to ban the apps from 1st September.
How this dating app helped this queer couple-Check out now
Dating apps are helping people to find their matches easily. One such app helped this queer couple during the pandemic to get their soulmates. Priya dali, a 24 year woman from Mumbai found a 24 year old girl Meera from Pune. They became friends and got enough time to take their relationship on a serious level.
This couple has made it easier for the whole LGBTQIA community by setting up an example. On this, Rashi Wadhera, communication director, Tinder said- . “Tinder has facilitated same-sex matches from its inception but we believe it is important to celebrate more than heteronormative narratives of finding connections. For some members, gender and sexuality labels reflect their own assertion of identity and as identities evolve, the language we use and stories we tell should include everyone, and we, therefore, partnered with Gaysi Family to highlight narratives of Queer dating.”
Rashi has given this interview to a famous website about the couple and how these dating applications are helping people to be with each other amidst this lockdown and difficulties.
Indeed, time is changing and people are more accepting of the things they were not okay before. Even the LGBTQ is now being accepted and it is high time that we also normalize it.
