Same for me (met in Aug 2020) but on Hinge, and we just got married.
Pre-pandemic I only dated by meeting women thru friends, so this was all new for me. Hinge worked really well for me, but Bumble and Tinder were nothing but bot matches and women who just 1-word-answered me.
Exactly, some of my iPhone-using friends don't care about the color itself, just that sending a video via MMS results in a 240p mess. Being able to properly RCS videos, and multiple photos, will alleviate all actual concerns. They don't care about message reactions, and I don't know a single person who uses the avatar things (I'm in my early 30s in NY)
