A 2024 Forbes Health report reveals that 80 percent of millennials and 79 percent of Gen Z are feeling the dating app burnout, with almost half reporting that they failed to find a good connection with someone or were disappointed by people as they were ghosted or lied to (read: catfishing and love scams).

Yet, fresh data from Viber Dating offers a much more optimistic narrative: Young Filipinos are still in the game and, yes, still swiping right!

Communications super app Rakuten Viber, which recently launched Viber Dating as its newest in-app feature, reports that young professionals between 25-30 years old are the most active daters. As a feature that focuses on providing a secure and private dating experience for real connections, Viber Dating considers this data a welcoming sign that addressing prevalent online dating burnout begins by prioritizing the users’ needs for safety and genuine interactions.
