What Apps Are People Using To Hook Up

A survey showed the majority of people believe that Tinder is a hookup app. The main reason people report using Tinder is that it’s popular and trendy. Jan 28, 2020 Most dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge allow people to share data from their social media profiles.

At the very least it’s a great way to figure out if that guy at the gym is gay or not. Scoping out the scene in a new town, flirting for weeks with someone you’ll never meet, getting catfished.

So which apps are hot with young people?

ComScore's recently released 2016 mobile app report tracked which apps had the highest concentration of 'millennial users.' Comscore defined the group as those 18-34 years of age (the firm did not look at users under 18).

The apps range from cashless payment options to games to, predictably, dating app Tinder. And there is even one that has a whopping 99% concentration of millennials.

Here they are:

Most people have heard of Airbnb, the 'home-sharing' service that has shaken the hotel industry to its core. But millennial are more likely to use it, suggesting they are more comfortable renting someone else's home or apartment than older generations.
