What is Lamp Dating? The AI dating app, explained
Lamp Dating matches you on personality, not photos. Here is what it is and how it works.
Lamp Dating is a free iOS dating app that matches on personality, not swiping.
What is Lamp Dating?
Lamp Dating is an AI dating app for iPhone. You tell it what you want in plain words (it calls these Wishes), and its AI looks at your personality, values, lifestyle and goals. Then it introduces a small number of people who genuinely match you — and tells you why. Version 2.0 launched on 1 June 2026 with a new design, a smarter assistant and iOS 26 support.
How Lamp Dating is different from other dating apps
- Tinder and Bumble: you swipe through photos. Lamp Dating: you get matched on personality and values.
- Hinge: you like one profile at a time. Lamp Dating: it introduces a curated few who fit, with the reasons.
- Most apps: no help writing your profile. Lamp Dating: the Genie AI assistant helps you write it and start the chat.
- Most apps: built to keep you swiping. Lamp Dating: built to get you matched and off the app.
Is Lamp Dating free?
Yes. Lamp Dating is free to download on the iOS App Store, and version 2.0 is built for iOS 26.
