Muzmatch

Muzz (formerly Muzmatch) is a dating and marriage app built for Muslims looking for serious relationships, not casual hookups. The whole thing is designed around faith-based values, with photo privacy controls that let you blur pictures until you match, chaperone options so you can loop family members into conversations, and filters that sort matches by how religiously practicing they are. Launched in 2015, the app reckons it’s grown to more than 10 million members worldwide and claims to have facilitated over 500,000 marriages, though as ever with dating app numbers, you’re taking the company’s word for it. We’ve covered the broader shift toward niche, intention-driven platforms in our rundown of polyamory and faith-based dating apps. The rebrand from Muzmatch to Muzz a few years back didn’t change the core pitch: marriage first, swiping for fun second.
