Nowadays everyone is getting a bit tired of Tinder. Fortunately, there’s an app not many people have heard of, and it’s actually the largest dating platform in the world.
Badoo’s popularity has been driven by the fact they’ve listened to the masses and have all of the features ever needed in a dating app.
They’re already massive in Europe and South America and it’s getting even bigger at UK unis, here’s why:
Find out why 350 million people are already using the app. Download Badoo now
Finally, a chance to talk to the mysterious guy in lectures
It’s not just about matching with strangers, Badoo allows users to find out who’s knocking about on campus, and who they’ve bumped into throughout the day.
No more catfishing
With Badoo, there’s no need to get all dressed up and trek to a bar, only to realise that expectation doesn’t meet reality.
One of the verification options is to send a selfie. To get a blue tick people just need to send a pose and wait for it to be approved.
Get a selfie from a match
Whilst chatting with someone there’s a button to request a selfie on the spot. Just in case you want to know if they are who they claim to be or just to confirm they’re a solid 9/10.
Download Badoo to chat to and meet real people with real profiles
There’s no need to match before chatting with people
On Badoo, when someone nearby wants to talk, they have to use their best lines from the start.
Users get two chances to chat before they have to stop messaging.
Find out who’s stalking profiles
What everyone has been waiting for, a chance to find out who’s lingering on our profiles and to see who keeps coming back.
The end of creepy chats once and for all
The three main ways Badoo verify a profile is through: A phone call (there’s no need to answer), Facebook profile verification, or a selfie.
Download Badoo to avoid weird messages and creeps
Now’s the chance to improve match to chat ratios, speak to real people, and finally say hello to that library crush.
Find someone for a couples holiday, and if that’s too much, at least guarantee a successful gold rush.
Hope is not lost.
Download Badoo and find the one
