Online dating, particularly through apps like Tinder or Bumble, has become the main way people meet their partners
Now across the ditch in Australia an industry code for dating apps has been created governing how they protect users.
Online dating platforms have six months to become compliant with the voluntary code which will be reviewed in 2026 to determine whether it should become mandatory.
Emile Donovan speaks to Emily Heazlewood founder of the homegrown dating app Amor, about whether a code needs to be established here in New Zealand.
