In this paper, we seek to review the existing literature that encompasses the issues surrounding dating apps. Specifically, we focus on crimes that can occur from the use of dating apps, potential mitigation strategies, the physiological and psychological effects on not only the general population, but also minority groups, and lastly, an assessment on the associated cybersecurity risks and potential digital artifacts of interest in criminal investigations.
