Creating an Inclusive Online Dating Experience: How Flutrr Uses CometChat

Despite the booming online dating scene in India, there is a significant gap in providing an inclusive, culturally-relevant, and safe experience.

The Gap in Indian Dating Apps

India's booming online dating scene is a paradox of potential and limitations. While millions connect through dating apps, a significant gap exists for users seeking a safe, inclusive, and culturally-relevant experience. Traditional apps, often dominated by English and catering to a specific demographic, leave many users, particularly those in non-metropolitan areas and with limited English proficiency, feeling excluded.

Additionally, concerns about privacy and a lack of robust safety features can create a sense of unease for users seeking genuine connections. This landscape called for a new player, an app that understood the nuances of Indian dating and prioritized building trust and inclusivity.

Building a Safe Space for Love

Flutrr emerged in response to this gap, aiming to ignite a revolution in online dating for India. Recognizing the limitations of existing apps, Flutrr's founders envisioned a platform built on core values – safety, inclusivity, and meaningful connections. This meant shattering language barriers and prioritizing user safety above all else.

However, realizing this vision hinged on building a robust and user-friendly communication layer within the app. Flutrr needed a solution that addressed the specific needs of the Indian dating market, fostering seamless communication across languages while prioritizing user safety and security. This is where CometChat entered the equation.

Fostering Fun and Engaging Interactions:

Communication Features For an Immersive Experience:

Flutrr goes beyond basic messaging by offering advanced features that enhance communication and create a more immersive dating experience:

  • Real-time presence indicators let users see if their matches are online, allowing them to initiate conversations at the right moments and build real-time connections.

  • Voice and video calling features enable users to develop deeper interactions. This allows users to connect on a more personal level and get to know each other better before meeting in person.

  • Geographical and cultural boundaries often create communication hurdles in the virtual world. The integration of translation mechanics within the chat interface eliminates language barriers, allowing users from diverse regions of India to connect and converse effortlessly.

Advanced Moderation Tools and Privacy Controls:

Flutrr prioritizes user safety and security at every step. Apart from the regular user level moderation features like blocking and reporting of user profiles, CometChat's robust safety features take it one step further. The profanity filter safeguards users from inappropriate language, while image moderation ensure a clean and respectful environment.

Furthermore, Flutrr utilizes features like the blur option for video calls, offering users greater control over their privacy during interactions. For added peace of mind, Flutrr gives users a "Private Mode Messaging" functionality which is powered by CometChat’s disappearing messages feature. This allows users to send messages that disappear once the conversation ends, offering a safe space for personal communication.

"Incorporating CometChat's features into our platform has not only made communication more fluid and interactive but also brought a new level of safety to online dating in India. It's safe to say that CometChat has transformed our platform for the better."
