Questions about dating in Iceland
Is online dating in Iceland free on YADate?
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Iceland and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.
Are the profiles in Iceland real?
YADate never creates fake profiles or writes on behalf of people who don't exist. A moderator checks every photo before it appears, every member confirms an email address, and any profile can be reported. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
Can I date someone who lives outside Iceland?
Yes. In the filters you can search around any city in the world, not only in Iceland.
