Based on a Populix survey of 732 Indonesian online dating app users, 56% reported having had negative experiences.

Of those with negative experiences, the majority (71%) had been deceived by fake profiles. Furthermore, 52% received abusive or offensive language, and 30% experienced sexual harassment while using the apps.

Populix noted that abusive language and sexual harassment were more prevalent among female respondents.

Other negative experiences included infidelity (23%), financial fraud (22%), cyberstalking (21%), and doxing (21%).

"The prevalence of fraud and inappropriate behavior on dating apps encourages users to exercise caution when interacting," wrote Populix in its report titled *Indonesian Usage Behavior and Online Security on Dating Apps*.

The survey, conducted from January 15-22, 2024, initially involved 1,165 Indonesian respondents. This was then narrowed down to 732 respondents who use dating apps, and 409 respondents who reported negative experiences.

The majority of respondents were from Java (80%), followed by Sumatra (13%), and other islands (8%). Respondents were predominantly aged 17-25 (44%) and 26-35 (38%).
