This is an age old question for as long as the BIGO Live app has been in existence. Is BIGO Live a dating app? The short answer is no, it is not a dating app, however it certainly can be used as one. The app has a great ability to filter it’s users by location, therefore you can search for people in your local area and arrange for a meetup if that’s what you desire. You can view different profiles, and choose the ones that stand out to you and send a personalized message. This is very much like any of the other popular dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble, as a few examples.

With the gifting feature, you can send high profile animation gifts and spend real world money to impress your favorite broadcasters in hopes that you can capture their attention. This might be just the edge you need to get a response to your personal inbox messages. Some broadcasters are not interested in love or finding a partner to hook up with, but rather they are only interested in showing off their talent and personality to an audience of fans. They are not looking for one-on-one interaction but group interaction instead.

That is not to say that BIGO Live can not be used as a dating app, because I know several broadcasters who have met long term partners on the app. This is mostly seen with popular broadcasters finding relationships with other popular broadcasters. That is the version that is more widely seen, but it is possible for a non-broadcaster to find themselves in a relationship with a broadcaster or even another non-broadcaster.

How To Use BIGO Live As A Dating App

Much like any other social media app, such as Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, you will have the ability to consume content from popular live streaming broadcasters. You can use the chat and message feature to communicate privately with each person, and you can send photos or videos too. What’s great about BIGO Live is that your reach is global. You’re not confined to only your local area. As with any dating app, you’re going to want to catch the attention of your potential partner by sending large gifts and interacting with the performer during their broadcast.

Once you’ve captured the attention of the person you’re interested in, you can start to transition your communication from the live streaming broadcast and the comments, and into a more private setting like their inbox or on another social media platform. It is here where you can learn about one another privately and elevate your personal relationship to next levels. Dating somebody on BIGO is not for the weak. It takes courage, strength, patience, trust, and the ability to cope with long distance relationships. Most relationships on the app do not last very long, but they can be fun and you can learn a lot about yourself and your partner.

It is not a dating app, but it can be used as one. If you put in the time, and use some charm and can be a little flashy, you have just as much potential to find love on BIGO Live as you would on any other dating app. However, it needs to be noted, that it is not intended to be a dating app and others may not be looking for love on BIGO or anywhere else on the internet.

If you’re looking to become a host on BIGO Live, you can always apply to become an official BIGO host by joining a top agency.
