What's New in tantan

7.3.1

August 28, 2026

Hey TanTan fam, Guess what? We pushed another update, and this time… Still no flying unicorns. Still no teleportation to your match's house. BUT... we did give the bugs a one-way ticket to the recycle bin of shame. What's Fixed: Tiny bugs you probably never noticed (but we did, because we're obsessed). Smoother swipes, faster matches, and fewer app tantrums. Improved performance so you can flirt with fewer freezes. Coming Soon: New features that might just make your ex wish they never let you go. More tools to help you vibe better, faster, and with the right kind of people. We know you're busy being iconic, but do us (and your future bae) a favour: Update now. Your next match is waiting. With love (and low latency), Team TanTan

Worst Dating App!!

One of the worst dating apps I’ve used. It feels like almost every profile I come across is either fake, a bot, or someone trying to scam you. A lot of the messages are repetitive and suspicious, with people immediately asking things like, “Hi, where are you located?” without having a normal conversation first.

I’ve also noticed profiles using photos that don’t seem to match the person behind the account, which makes the whole experience feel fake and untrustworthy. Instead of meeting genuine people, you spend most of your time wondering whether you’re even talking to a real person.

The app seriously needs better verification and stronger moderation to remove fake profiles, bots, and scammers. Until that improves, I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here.

So many scammer profiles

They have a real issue with scam profiles targeting people in the UK. As you can’t take screenshots of pictures to run through google, it’s hard to prove to tantan that the profiles are fake, unless you know the name of the real person already. Currently all the fake profiles say born in year of the monkey, even when the age doesn’t match. At this point, tantan needs to do something to fix this issue or just pull out of the UK market. So disappointed, didn’t have this issue when I used it in Korea, very few fake profiles there.

Dead island

Unlike the original Tantan, its spin-off app Tantan Global feels practically dead. There are ridiculously FEW profiles. You can swipe through the entire pool of men in Beijing in about five minutes, and then the app says there are no more profiles available in your search radius.

About half of the men profiles seem to be fake accounts or bots. Many of the remaining users communicate like NPCs, even those who are supposedly verified. The first message is almost always the same scripted line: “Where are you from, friend? I’m from…” and then they go silent. At the same time, many of these accounts appear to stay online almost 24/7, which makes it feel like artificial filler rather than real users.

Meanwhile, my own verification keeps disappearing even though I’m a real user. I’ve had to contact support just to get it restored.

We’re sorry that your experience with tantan Global has felt frustrating, particularly regarding the limited number of profiles, suspicious accounts, and repeated verification issues.

Regarding your verification being removed repeatedly, we’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If this happens again, please contact tantan Customer Support with your account details and relevant screenshots so our team can investigate and assist you further. We appreciate your feedback about the matching pool and the quality of interactions. We’ll share your comments with the relevant teams as we continue working to improve tantan's user experience, account authenticity, and verification system.

absolutely malicious

There are so many scammers on this platform. I was hoping to meet and talk with foreigners since they’re nearby, but instead, I keep running into people asking for card details, changing their profiles or accounts, and continuing to scam others even after being reported. It only gets worse because the platform doesn’t seem to monitor these people properly. Please monitor the chats as well and take action against these scammers so they can no longer use the platform.

I’m not criticizing anyone for having sexual intentions—that’s a personal choice. But I absolutely cannot tolerate people using scams to steal money from others. If you let even one person get away with it, others will assume that financial scams are acceptable here. It creates an environment where criminal activity can thrive, which goes completely against the platform’s original purpose. The platform’s management also has a responsibility to prevent this.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make tantan a safer and more trustworthy place to connect with others.

App feels fake

The app seems to purposely hide most of the people that swiped right on you unless you pay. I can tell because it says I have 50+ people that liked me but I’ve never found them when swiping. Also when I found one of the people that liked me, the app literally does not allow me to swipe right unless I pay. After closing the app and opening it again, that person’s profile was gone.
I’d rather have no dating life than to submit to corporate greed like this.

Our team can review the situation and provide further assistance. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
