Dating App Wild Hits 900,000 Verified Users in 57 Countries
NEW YORK – September 19, 2026 -- Dating app Wild has surpassed 900,000 verified members across 57 countries, the company announced, positioning itself as an alternative to apps built around finding long-term relationships.
Launched in 2016, Wild is designed for people seeking casual connections rather than a set path toward a relationship. The platform supports casual dating, flirting, hookups, and friends-with-benefits arrangements, letting users define what they want from a match instead of assuming every conversation is headed toward commitment.
Every member on Wild must complete verification before using the app
Wild requires 100% forced verification, meaning the process is mandatory rather than optional. The company says this real-person verification step is central to how members connect, aiming to address safety and trust concerns common on casual dating platforms.
