This review covers what I know about Mutual. Mutual was the brainchild of a BYU graduate, Cooper Boice, who wanted an easier way to connect with other church members, especially in areas where they might be a minority. Just like other dating apps, you need to be at least 18 to sign up.
You swipe through profiles, and if you both swipe right β boom! Since launching in , Mutual has become a popular spot for LDS singles, with over , users giving it a try. Curious if Mutual is the right place to find your eternal companion? Mutual makes getting started a breeze. Plus, you can see if you have any mutual friends with potential matches β a helpful icebreaker!
They offer a photo verification process where you submit a few pictures mimicking specific poses. Their team manually checks them within a couple of days. The main difference is you swipe up and down instead of left and right. The best part? Mutual is free to use! You can connect with and message as many matches as you want without paying a dime. Of course, they also offer a premium membership called MutualUP if you want to unlock some extra features.
MutualUP gives you access to a bunch of handy tools that can boost your dating game. Some of the highlights include:. Mutual is strictly a mobile app experience β no desktop version is available. This might not be a huge deal for most users, as the app is designed for a younger, tech-savvy crowd who are always on their phones anyway.
While Mutual offers a free version, upgrading to a premium can get pricey. Mutual uses a swiping system similar to other dating apps. The number of users may be limited in other areas. Mutual uses Facebook integration and photo verification to help ensure user safety and authenticity. Mutual fills a unique niche in the dating app world, serving as a dedicated platform for Latter-Day Saint singles seeking meaningful connections rooted in shared faith.
