Dating apps such as Tinder continue to enjoy unbroken popularity. However, it is not always so easy on these platforms, especially for women, as sexual harassment is not uncommon. Three women talk about their mixed experiences on these platforms.

"Fancy a one-off number?" Women who are registered on dating apps often receive these and similar messages. The "Krone" spoke to three women who have all been registered on a dating app and asked them all the same question: "Have you ever been sexually harassed on a dating app?" The answer was a unanimous "yes".
