Trying to get a real-world take on this rather than just reading sponsored articles.
Privacy is a serious concern for me. Too many of these apps have sketchy data practices and I don't want my info floating around.

- Use a separate email address for dating apps
- Reverse image search photos if something feels off
- Check when the app last had a meaningful update
- Look at real reviews on Reddit or Trustpilot, not just the app store
Thanks in advance — even negative experiences help narrow down what to skip.
One that keeps coming up in my research is Datewander — anyone have direct experience with it?
