1. Tinder
There's no need to discuss how popular the "world's most famous dating app" is, as Tinder remains extremely popular among young people in Vietnam. Its simplicity and user-friendly interface are major highlights. Users can easily interact by swiping left (if they're not interested) or right (if they like the profile) when viewing others' profiles.
If both users swipe right, they can start chatting. If you're curious about the experience of digital-era dating, Tinder is a solid example worth trying. However, finding a long-term relationship and a compatible partner can take time and patience, as the number of international users often exceeds that of Vietnamese users.

If you're patient and looking for a more sophisticated online dating experience, consider signing up on OkCupid. Known for having one of the most advanced algorithms, OkCupid takes a unique approach to help you find a match effectively.
First, you'll need to answer a wide range of questions across various topics, so the system can gather enough information about you and suggest suitable matches. This process can be time-consuming, and many users may give up – so patience is key! Once completed, you'll have a comprehensive profile, and the next step is to fill in the missing parts, like adding photos, personal details, and writing an engaging bio about yourself to get ready for dating. However, the platform charges a minimum fee of 230,000 VND/month if you want to connect with users who have liked you or see if someone has read your messages.

3. Facebook Dating
Facebook Dating is a dating feature launched by Facebook to help single users find a match. With Facebook Dating, you can connect and meet people from the opposite sex through a separate dating profile, distinct from your regular Facebook account.
One of the major advantages of Facebook Dating is its integration with Facebook, giving it access to the largest user base in the world.
You will create a dedicated dating profile, separate from your personal Facebook information. The feature also prioritizes matching you with people who share similar interests, who attend the same events, are in the same groups, or live in the same city, making it easier to meet and get to know each other.
What's more, you and your match will chat through a separate messaging system, not linked to Messenger, giving you more privacy during your conversations.

8. YmeetMe
YmeetMe is a relatively new name in the online dating scene, which has become a global trend in recent years and particularly surged in popularity in Vietnam since 2016. This Vietnam-made app was launched at the perfect time and quickly gained popularity among single Vietnamese people looking for serious relationships.
The app allows users to connect by sending 'Likes', and only permits communication once both users have liked each other. One of YmeetMe's strongest features is its high level of authenticity and security: each user is allowed only one account, and fake profiles are automatically detected and removed. Users are required to verify their identity with official documents such as ID cards, driver's licenses, employment contracts, and other credentials.
According to most users, the dating environment on YmeetMe is more serious and respectful than on many other dating platforms. The app quickly rose to the top of the dating apps list on CH Play and became one of the top 5 lifestyle apps on the App Store, reaching 200,000 members by the end of 2017. Its diverse filters and intelligent matching algorithm, which is based on user behavior, help find compatible matches. All your information and activity on YmeetMe are kept private and are not displayed on Facebook or other social media platforms.

9. Zalo
Originally one of the most popular and well-known social networks in Vietnam, Zalo has gradually become a prominent name in the online dating scene in recent years. With a focus on expanding this feature, Zalo introduced a new option for creating chat rooms to connect with others and search for people nearby.
With its large user base and easy-to-use chat features, meeting people on Zalo is fast, simple, and entirely free. However, one drawback of the app is its security and the seriousness of potential dating prospects. Since Zalo accounts can be registered with just a phone number, there is a risk of individuals using fake numbers or disposable SIM cards to participate.
The best advice when using the app is to avoid sharing too much personal information until you’ve verified the other person. Despite this limitation, Zalo remains a solid platform to meet someone special, especially for this upcoming Valentine’s Day!
