Dating apps have grown immensely popular among Gen Z; meeting and connecting with new and like-minded people has never been easier. With this generation's penchant to make informed decisions, dating apps fit their demands perfectly. But, like all good things, dating apps come with some challenges. For example, catfishing and identical threats can also rise on online platforms. But they are much easier to handle in the controlled environment of a dating app. Here are tips for Gen Z to enjoy a safe online dating experience:
