Those who have downloaded Yubo are wondering if this app is like Tinder. Most people install Yubo thinking it’s a dating app, but it’s not exactly what you think. Below you will find some information to help you differentiate between Yubo and Tinder.
What is Yubo?
Yubo is an app for Generation Z to find friends, with the official website stating that it is ‘not a dating app’. Around 95% of its users are between the ages of 13 and 26. This means that the minimum age to use the app is 13.
13 is not an appropriate age for a dating app. As you may have already noticed, almost all dating apps have a minimum age of 18. Therefore, Yubo is not a dating app, it was developed to enable Generation Z youth to make friends with each other.
What is Tinder?
Tinder, as you know, is a dating app developed for those looking for dating, serious relationships or ‘hook-up’ relationships. Tinder has different premium subscription services and you can choose one of these subscriptions to increase your chances of matching. It has a classic right/left swiping structure. If both people like each other, a match is made and either party can start the conversation.
Is Yubo Like Tinder?
Based on the above information, we can say that Yubo is not an app like Tinder. The most obvious difference between the two is the difference in the age of users. You have to be at least 13 years old to use Yubo, while Tinder requires you to be 18 years old.
Although in some countries the age of majority is 16-17 years old, in most countries it is 18 years old. This shows that the intended use of Yubo and Tinder are not similar. If you are in the Gen Z age range, you can use Yubo to make friends. If you are 18 years old and over and you are only looking for a dating app, Tinder would be a more suitable option for you.
