Salams, formerly Minder
Salams started life as Minder, one of the first dating apps for Muslims, and was renamed as it shifted its focus firmly towards marriage. Today it describes itself as an app for marriage, friendship and networking, with millions of members around the world.
The experience is familiar — swipe, match, chat — but the framing is different. Filters cover sect, family origin and education, and the app encourages you to get to know someone without handing over your phone number straight away. For those who prefer a chaperone or family involvement, Salams makes it easy to talk in the app first and bring others in when the time is right.
Privacy is a particular strength. Premium members can hide details such as their age or online status and control who sees their profile — valuable for anyone who does not want colleagues or relatives stumbling on them.
Who it suits: Muslims in their twenties and thirties who are looking for a spouse and want an app with clear intentions, strong filters and good privacy controls.
What to keep in mind: free members have a daily limit on new conversations, and the most useful filters are paid. In some countries Muzz is busier; in others Salams is — it depends on your city.
Our tip: state your timeline and what you are looking for — practice, family involvement, whether you would relocate. On a marriage app, clarity is respectful.
