Online dating apps are so popular right now. Many online dating apps offer some facilities that allow users to meet new people with a particular purpose: romance. One of those famous online dating apps in Indonesia right now is Tinder. How is it popular among Indonesian? How do they use it? Do they really use for romance, or do they have another purpose in using it? Therefore, regarding to this matter, recently Jakpat has conducted a survey in order to see the habit and preference of Indonesian Tinder users. This survey involved 512 respondents from across Indonesia. Those respondents are Tinder users; in which we found out through the preliminary questions in this survey. For the further notes, Jakpat’s respondents in this survey are Indonesian smart-phone users, with a range of age from 16 to 45 year-old.

First of all, we found out that there are three major reasons why Tinder users were downloading the apps in the first place. Apparently, it was out of curiosity (36.99%). Moreover, it was also just for fun (27.40%). Besides, there are also some of our respondents who downloaded Tinder apps just for trying out new apps (17.03%). Furthermore, regarding to their motivation in using Tinder, apparently most of our respondents said that they are looking for some friends (74.17%), while more than half of them said that they use it to fill in the spare time (50.29%). There are also some of our respondents who admitted that they use Tinder for looking for a networking (42.27%) or just looking for fun (34.05%). Based on those four top motivations in using Tinder, apparently it doesn’t have any connection with romance at all. So, where is the romance? We found out that there are only some of our respondents who admitted that they use Tinder for looking for potential partner or significant other (31.70%). Meanwhile, there are some of our respondents who said that they use Tinder for looking for business partner (25.64%) or for observing people (25.05%). These findings indicate that Indonesian Tinder users tend to use this online dating platform in order to boost their social life instead of just to focus on their romance life.

Next, we found out that most of our respondents admitted that they have been using Tinder since less than a month (44.03%), while some other have been using it since 1 to 3 months ago (30.92%). Moreover, there is only a few of our respondents who said that they have been a Tinder user for more than a year (5.28%). This finding indicates that the number of Indonesian Tinder users is actually increasing from time to time. Regarding to how often they access Tinder, apparently most of our respondents answered that they seldom access the apps (35.62%). Furthermore, most of our respondents admitted that they access Tinder for less than an hour in a day (66.34%). These findings indicate that though Tinder is very popular nowadays, Tinder users do not seem to be drowned in using the apps, since there is only a few time that they spend for accessing it.

Regarding to the famous “match” that Indonesian Tinder users got, most of our respondents admitted that they got about 1 to 5 matches so far (49.71%). This finding can be an indication that Indonesian Tinder users are actually quite selective in using the online dating apps. Furthermore, regarding to the personal contact info, we found out that more than half of our respondents admitted that they share their personal contact info with potential partner or significant other on Tinder (52.84%). This finding indicates that Indonesian Tinder users are actually quite serious in terms of correspondence with people they got to know through this online dating platform. It is also supported with the next finding about personal chat. Apparently, more than half of our respondents admitted that they continue their chat with potential partner or significant other through a more personal platform (50.29%). Those chosen personal platforms are including Whatsapp (58.90%), LINE (58.51%), and BBM (49.90%).

Furthermore, we found out that there are only some of our respondents who admitted to have a meet-up with potential partner or significant other from Tinder (32.8%). Most of those respondents admitted to have a meet-up with only 1 person (67.51%). This finding indicates that Indonesian Tinder users are actually quite timid in using this online dating platform. However, it could also because they are still considered as new users since most of them were using the apps for only less than a month. Regarding to the romance, apparently only a few of our respondents who admitted to ever continue the relationship into a more serious stage with someone they met on Tinder (19.37%). This finding is in line with previous finding that Indonesian Tinder users tend to use this online dating platform in order to boost their social life instead of just to focus on their romance life.

Regarding to some negative experience that Indonesian Tinder users have while using the apps, apparently there are some of our respondents who admitted to ever have negative experience from using Tinder (21.53%). Those negative experiences are including “meeting freak person” (38.55%), “being flirted in a way that makes them feeling uncomfortable” (23.29%), “their profile is being misinterpreted by another user” (19.37%), “accidentally meeting someone they know in real life” (15.85%), and “being harassed verbally or visually” (12.52%). These findings indicate that Tinder, as well as all of other parts of the internet, is not an entirely safe place. Users still have to be able to protect themselves from any negative things that may happen when they are using the platform.

Lastly, we would like to see how Indonesian Tinder users feel towards using Tinder. Apparently, all responses were positive. Our respondents are satisfied (72.99%), happy (67.12%), and feeling comfortable (73.58%) in using Tinder. On the other hand, we found out that less than half of our respondents admitted that they also use other online dating apps besides Tinder (48.53%). These findings indicate that even though our respondents are feeling positive in using Tinder, it doesn’t make them being loyal to just one platform. In the end, platform is just a platform. We make our own romance. Tinder is just a tool. We swipe our own destiny.

The growth and vast development of information and communication technology has led us to an era that has allowed us to exchange information through e-mails and with the help of online web browsers. We thought about finding out what our respondents had to say about their pattern or habit of using e-mail and a web browser of their choice. We managed to ask 1.002 respondents consisting of 42.51% female and 57.49% male. Our initial idea was to head-to-head compare the usage of e-mail and web browser for respondents who are students and who are employees. However we found that there is no significant difference at all in the pattern. For now we are delivering information and data in general without specific classification in the demography of the respondents involved in the survey.

Out of the 1002 respondents initially involved in the survey, only 987 of them who said yes to a question if they have and use an e-mail at all. For the 987 respondents, we asked how many e-mail accounts they used. Majority of them said 2 e-mail accounts (43.16%). Other answers include 1 e-mail account (25.33%), 3 e-mail accounts (17.33%), more than 5 e-mail accounts (9.12%), 4 e-mail accounts (3.65%), and lastly 5 e-mail accounts (1.42%). It is interesting that our respondents seem to have not only one e-mail account. Based on that we are moving to the next curious question.

Although majority of the respondents use at least 2 e-mail accounts, we have found that there is one e-mail service that beats other e-mail services by quite much. We asked which e-mail services are used of all e-mail services out there available, and found that G-mail sits far on the top of the list being the most used e-mail service, as claimed by 96.15% of the respondents. The second place belongs to Yahoo!Mail which should include ymail, rocketmail and yahoo, as claimed by 56.03%. Other e-mail services include e-mail domain given from the workplace or university (9.32%), Outlook (8%), and iCloud (3.95%).

What is the purpose of using e-mail anyway? We then asked the respondents the same question. We found top 8 reasons to why they use e-mail. Being the number one reason as claimed by 70.82% respondents, it is for corresponding purpose; it is for either personal or professional usage. 67.88% of the respondents claim that they use their e-mail(s) as a requirement to create a social media or e-commerce user account. 59.98% of the respondents claim using e-mail for saving or backing up documents in the form of soft copy or soft file. 43.67% claim using e-mail for knowing important notifications from social media that the respondents actively use. Other reasons include for receiving news (33.74%), for gaming purpose (33.13%), for receiving shopping promotions (30.6%), and for receiving billings (23.71%).

After knowing the number of e-mail accounts used and the reasons for using them, we then asked the respondents what type of gadget they use to actually check and open their e-mail inbox. We separated the option into two: a mobile phone and a computer (laptop or desktop). We found that out of 987 respondents who claimed to use e-mail, significant 80.95% claim that they check the e-mail from a mobile phone, and only 19.05% use a computer to do the task.

We then got even more specific with our question. We asked the respondents separately on whether they use a mail app or a web browser based on their answer to which gadget type they used. For respondents who claimed to use a mobile phone to check their e-mail, 85.98% claim that they check and open their e-mail inbox via a dedicated mail application, and only 14.02% do the task via a web browser. Then, the same question was asked to the respondents who previously claimed to use a computer to check and open their e-mail inbox. We found that 87.77% of the respondents do the task via a web browser while 12.23% via a dedicated mail application.

How frequent do our respondents check their e-mail in a day? That’s the question we asked to the respondents to find out when or how many times in a day they check for new e-mails in the inbox. We found that majority of the respondents say they check their inbox only when a notification about a new e-mail pops up, as claimed by 31%. 28.67% claim to check the inbox 2-4 times a day. 13.37% say once a day. 9.83% do it 5-7 times a day. 9.42% do the checking more than 10 times a day. Lastly, 2.13% do it 8-10 times a day. And, 81.05% of the respondents who use e-mail admit that they have the e-mail notification system activated on their device.

We are ending this article with a finding about web browsers of choice and reasons to using them. We asked our respondents which web browser they use most frequently, and found that Google Chrome, as claimed by 63.27%, sits on the top in the list. Following at number 2 is Mozila Firefox as claimed by 19.06%. Opera sits at number 3, as claimed by 8.48%. Lastly, Internet Explorer sits at number 4 as claimed by 3.29%. It is clearly a far gap between number 1 and number 2, which shows how Google Chrome wins the competition unbeatably.

As for the reasons to why the respondents use a web browser of their choice, we found that 66.04% were looking for a faster loading process when using their web browser of choice. The number 2 reason is an easy-to-use user interface (56.80%). The other reasons include safe from viruses (22.53%), offering many functional features (21.39%), and offering themes to choose from (10.38%).
