Tinder criticizes Apple for App Store
A statement was released criticizing 30% of Apple’s purchases on the App Store.
This statement was written by Match Group, the owner of Tinder, OKCupid, Match, and other dating sites.
Match Group’s spokesperson said: “Apple squeezes industries like e-books, music and video streaming, cloud storage, gaming and online dating for 30% of their revenue, which is all the more alarming when Apple then enters that space, as we’ve repeatedly seen.”
Chinese video matchmaking app raises over $100 M
Chinese app Yidui has completed Series B financing round.
Although they did not disclose the amount of raised funds, Yidui app got over $100 million since its 2018 release.
The main idea of the app is that every video date is overlooked by a matchmaker to guide their conversations and topics to help daters create a connection.
These video dates are also broadcasted so other users can watch them, contact the matchmakers, and send paid virtual gifts.

The site team has also specified that Taiwan climbed to 7th place in terms of money spent.
