It requires a Facebook or Instagram for signup and is solely for lesbian, queer, and bisexual women and non-binary people, so you can be sure that no cismen will ever show up here. This verification process helps enumerate a certain sense of exclusivity while instilling confidence in the users. It helps users meet friends of friends through its social-media feed (which largely depends on Facebook). It is thus not surprising why HER has become so popular globally with queer women.
So, essentially, the profiles on this lesbian dating app are as genuine as the associated Facebook profiles are, and that in turn depends on the verification process employed by Facebook (or Instagram) to ensure the authenticity of the profile. The verification process is crucial for the trust-building process, whether it is the trusting the space or the profile. While there were protests against the registration process, HER doesn’t employ manual verification and predominantly depends on the date from Facebook or Instagram.
The matches and network this lesbians dating app shows depends on the Facebook or Instagram network, which might not be an ideal method for someone who is still in the closet or not wanting to be out. At AYA (As You Are), understanding these needs, the profiles are manually verified for authenticity, because one of our main focuses is to ensuring a safe space for meeting other lesbian and queer women.
2. FEM
The Fem logo in red on a black background is aesthetically designed. Once again, there is no catfishing here and there is a good amount of focus on safety. The app encourages users to introduce themselves by submitting a video featuring the user. The unique requirement of video cuts removes any chances of pseudo-entities in the App. It is a rather foolproof method, but at the same time, the video upload feature might not work out very well with Indians, as some of us hesitate to even upload a photo.
One can also post selfies, but a video is expected while you are using the app. One can enjoy through this app is ‘privacy provided through Rooms’, rooms with fun names like “Meet Locals,” “Makeup Talk,” and “Naughty or Nice.”
The drawbacks, of course, are there which include a few technical snags that keep cropping up, does not show the location of users, and so you may often end up meeting “someone special,” but they might be too many miles away!While at AYA (As You Are), we ensure this doesn’t happen. While matching on this Indian lesbian dating app, you can choose to see profiles only in your city or add one more city to better chose the location of the people you want to talk to.
3. OKCUPID
The slogan for this dating app expresses their intention loud and clear- “Dating Deserves Better.” And they’re on the right track as they call out their tag line, because they especially target non-hetero and non-cis people. OkCupid initially was only for the cis-het people, but over the years they realized the needs of the LGBTQ community and changed their approach and made it queer friendly in 2014.
It is one of the oldest dating apps and can be trusted, which is why we see many lesbian members who feel at home. This lesbian dating app is primarily because of the focus the lesbian dating app gives to the users – the choice and control over who they could match with on the app.
Free to download, the app offers two monthly subscriptions as well: A-List Basic for six months and A-List Premium, which is again for six months. The premium memberships allow the users to boost their profiles for more matches, have more advanced search options, see every user that has viewed your profile, remove 
ads, and more.
