Brilio.net - Currently, dating applications or dating apps are popular with partner seekers. How could it not be, without needing to meet, someone can easily open up opportunities to communicate with the opposite sex. Sophisticated algorithms then match users based on similar interests, location and preferences, making dating apps a ninja's path for singles. Let's say one of them is Tinder .
More than 100 million people have downloaded the dating app made in the United States. Including some of them are celebrities. It turns out that it's not just ordinary people who are curious about Tinder. A handful of artists, both domestic and foreign, are also interested in using Tinder.
If I'm not mistaken, Zayn Malik is also one of the celebrities who uses Tinder. After failing in his previous relationship with Gigi Hadid, this former member of the boy band One Direction tried to look for other opportunities. He conveyed this to colleagues who interviewed him.
Instead of getting a partner on Tinder, Zayn is often thought to be a fraud by other users. These doubts arise because they don't believe that a man as handsome and famous as Zayn Malik uses a dating application.
"Everyone accused me of faking my identity. They were like 'What good luck are you using Zayn Malik's photo?'" said Zayn in the interview, quoted from YouTube Nylon, Thursday (16/5).
Actually, Zayn is not the only one who has used Tinder. A number of celebrities have also used Tinder to find partners. Wow, who do you think they are? The following is a collection of celebrities who also use the Tinder application, compiled by brilio.net from various sources on Thursday (16/5).

It turns out that Ira Nandha used Tinder to find a partner. Because of this application, she met her husband, Elmer Syaherman. Although their relationship went viral, because the husband was having an affair with a flight attendant. However, recently they were seen together again at a Halalbihalal Study Deliberation event, Sunday (12/5). Ira Nandha himself shared this experience on a talk show.

Even though she doesn't explicitly admit to looking for a boyfriend, Jessica Iskandar views Tinder as an application that can be used to find new friends, new experiences, build connections and add to the social environment. At that time, he even saw his ex on the home page of the application.

Similar to Jessica Iskandar, Ariel Tatum has apparently also tried this application. He intended to find friends to chat with on the application. However, his fate was the same as Zayn Malik. People who found it thought it was a fake account. This was expressed via an Instagram story when commenting on a statement about dating applications on Twitter.
"If only I hadn't been blocked on Tinder three years ago because many people reported my account, thinking it was fake. Even though I just wanted to make new friends," wrote Ariel Tatum, quoted from Instagram @arieltatum.
