List of Dating Apps with Bundle IDs and Android Packages

What are the main dating apps?

When someone asks for "the main dating apps", these are the names they expect. They are also the first ones students and staff try on a managed device, so they belong at the top of any dating blocklist.

Types of dating apps

Dating apps differ in audience, not in what they do on a phone. For a blocklist, the type matters only because smaller types are the ones manual lists forget.

All dating apps list with bundle IDs and packages

Each row shows the App Store name, the developer as listed, the iOS bundle ID, the Android package when the app uses one we have confirmed, and the age rating as listed in the App Store. Use the buttons to show one group at a time.

"Look up" means the app is published on Android under a different package name or not at all. Check it with the Android package name lookup before adding it to an Android rule. Age ratings use the scale shown in the App Store listing in our database.

Black dating apps, Christian dating apps and other community apps

Searches for "black dating apps for iPhone" or "top Christian dating apps by category" come from users. For IT, the useful fact is simpler: community apps are dating apps, so a category rule catches them without a separate list.

Friend finder apps that work like dating apps

The apps in the last group of the table are where school blocklists most often fall short. They match strangers by age and location, run live video rooms or swipe decks, and describe themselves as ways to "make new friends".

Several of these apps are rated 12+ while Tinder is rated 17+. An age rating limit on its own will not catch them, which is one reason to block by category as well. The dangerous apps list covers anonymous chat and live streaming apps in the same family.

Apps that look like dating apps but are something else

Every app is categorized from its store listing, reviewed and validated, because a wrong row blocks something people need. These are typical apps that mention love or dating in their listing but do not connect strangers. Question them when you review any dating list.

An app can carry several categories, ranked by how much of the app they describe, so the CSV file shows whether Dating is an app's main purpose or a side feature. The AI apps list handles companion chatbots.

How to block dating apps on iPhone and iPad

Bundle ID blocking on iOS and iPadOS works on supervised devices only. Devices set up with Automated Device Enrollment through Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager are supervised.

1. Confirm the devices are supervised

   Check the device record in your MDM. Personally owned phones on User Enrollment cannot receive a bundle ID block list or an app rating limit.

2. Add the dating bundle IDs to a blocked apps list

   Apple's restrictions payload has a blocked app bundle IDs key: listed apps cannot be shown or launched. In Microsoft Intune this is the settings catalog, Restrictions, Blocked App Bundle IDs. The older "Restricted apps" device setting only reports apps and does not stop them.

3. Set a maximum app age rating as a second layer

   The same restrictions payload sets the highest app rating allowed on the device. A limit below 17+ hides most dating apps, but not the 12+ friend finder and AI wingman apps.

4. Test on one device, then scope to groups

   Install a test app from the list, push the profile and confirm the icon disappears. Then assign the profile to student or staff groups.

5. Replace the list each month

   New dating apps appear constantly. Import the updated file instead of editing IDs by hand.

Apple's current schema marks the bundle ID allow and block keys as deprecated from the 27.0 releases, with a declarative app settings configuration as the replacement. Check how your MDM handles this before rolling out to new devices.

How to block dating apps on Android

Android blocks by package name through the managed Google Play store. What you can block depends on how the device is enrolled.

1. Fully managed and dedicated devices

   Turn off access to the full Google Play catalogue so users only see apps you approve. In Intune the setting is "Allow access to all apps in Google Play store", set to Block. Dating apps then never appear.

2. When the full store must stay open

   Assign the dating packages with an uninstall intent so they are removed and cannot be used. Use the Android package column above and check the "look up" rows first.

3. Work profile on a personal phone

   You control only the work side. A dating app installed in the personal profile is outside your reach, which is normal and expected on a personal device.

4. Chromebooks and Google Admin console

   Android apps on managed Chromebooks follow the app settings in the Google Admin console. Leave dating packages out of the allowed set, then check the current console for the exact setting names.

Why a dating category list beats typing bundle IDs

The MDM app blocklist feed explains the file formats. Districts often block Dating together with the social media apps list.
