Online dating platforms-including mobile dating apps, web portals, and hybrid platforms-enable users to connect for romantic, casual, or platonic relationships. These platforms rely on advanced algorithms, location-based services, and personalized profiles featuring photos, bios, and preferences.

As social acceptance of online dating continues to rise globally, these platforms are becoming a primary channel for relationship building.
