The entire month of January is ‘peak dating season’ on dating apps, with a whopping 11.4 million more messages sent globally on Tinder from January 1 to February 14 compared to the rest of the year.
The ultimate surge came on the first Sunday in January, often known as ‘Dating Sunday’.
However, if you missed this, all is not lost as Bumble has revealed the peak times on its app.
Outside of Mondays at 8pm, the best times to be on the app in the UK are Tuesdays at 9pm, Thursdays at 7pm, and Sundays at 5pm, according to Bumble.
‘Bumble’s recent research found that nearly a quarter of British people are being more intentional about their time when it comes to dating,’ Bumble said.
‘Instead of swiping mindlessly, dedicate an hour or less to looking for connections with intention.’
