The new VR Video Chat feature in action.

User interest in VR was demonstrated in September of 2022, when Dating.com created a social space in the virtual metaverse for users to explore. Several couples used it to get married and received NFT certificates, which makes their marriages official in the virtual reality world.

Previously, Social Discovery Group provided users with video chat capabilities across its portfolio of apps. The company’s video chats saw significant popularity, with over 3.2 million video dates taking place in 2023, a million more than in the previous year.
