Vidate review
A free iPhone dating app built around video introductions and live calls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Vidate is an iPhone dating app centered on short video introductions, for people who want video to play a role in discovering and getting to know potential matches. Profiles can include photos and video; users browse nearby or interest-based profiles and match when both people like each other. The app is listed as free, and its core flow combines swipe-based matching with ways to communicate after a match. Its focus on video makes it a fit for people who prefer more than photo-led discovery, while those looking for an Android app should wait for its stated Android availability or consider another option.
Communication extends beyond text chat: matches can exchange video messages or start live video calls. Video verification is also listed, alongside profile, photo, and video moderation. Block and report controls give users ways to respond to unwanted interactions. Together, these features make video central both before and after matching, rather than treating it as a single optional call function. Buyers who specifically want video profiles, calls, and messages in one dating app may find that focus useful; people who prefer a text-first experience may not need it.
The app is currently listed for iPhone, while Vidate's website says Android is coming soon. Its listed support channel is email. Vidate is described as free, so the published product details point to access without a paid plan; they do not describe separate paid tiers or additions to compare. That straightforward free positioning may suit solo users who want to try video-based dating on iPhone. Its platform reach is narrower for now, and it is described as unproven, so people seeking evidence of market maturity should weigh that before choosing it. Overall, Vidate is most relevant to iPhone users who want video-led profiles and direct video contact, not those who need Android access today or want a more established option.
