After screening titles and abstracts and examining articles in detail, 70 studies were included in the review. A search was conducted in different databases, and we identified 502 articles in our initial search. Therefore, the objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the empirical research of the psychosocial content published in the last five years (2016–2020) on dating apps.
However, due to the recency of the phenomenon, some gaps in the existing research can be expected. In parallel with the increased use of these applications, a remarkable scientific literature has developed.
The emergence and popularization of dating apps have changed the way people meet and interact with potential romantic and sexual partners.
