Research undertaken by Roy Morgan on behalf of the Australian Institute of Criminology shows that 72.3 per cent of dating app users have been subjected to online sexual violence in the past five years. One in three users had been subjected to in-person sexual violence perpetrated by someone they had met on a dating app or website; this includes being physically or verbally pressured into performing unwanted sexual acts or having their drink spiked. The study, which surveyed 9,987 Australians aged 18+ who used dating apps, found that two-thirds reported being sexually harassed and almost half had been sent an unwanted explicit picture or video.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that an estimated 5.1 per cent of Australian singles aged 14+ used dating app Tinder on a mobile phone or tablet in an average four weeks in the six months to September 2015. The survey also shows that 8.8 per cent of singles aged 18-24 used the Tinder app in the last four weeks, compared with 6.4 per cent of singles in the 25-34 age group. However, just 1.5 per cent of singles aged 35+ and 1.6 per cent of those aged 14-17 reported using the app in the last four weeks.
