Minder Profile Quality
Profiles can be easily updated
Limited photo slots
Has Muslim type options (Sunni, Shia, Just Muslim, other)
Profiles are pretty detailed
App uses your first name only
Minder's profile section is very concise and straight to the point. It contains some of your basic information, including your family origin, educational attainment, and occupation. The site also added a few important things like your marital status, "Religiosity", and "Flavour". To measure religiosity, you are to adjust a gage according to how religious you are. Its range is from not practising to very religious.
You might be wondering what "Flavour" pertains to. It is a term that Minder uses to describe what type of Muslim you are. In the options, you will see two of Islam's biggest branches, Sunni and Sia. It also has a "Just Muslim " option for the ones who are not that specific with their denomination. If you feel like you don't quite match well with the flavour options available, you can always choose "Others."
Your profile information can be changed or updated anytime. The information you provide in your profile will be made public. Anyone can have access to profiles for free.

Usually, a premium upgrade will give you complete access to an app's features. But in Minder, a premium subscription will only give you access to some of the site features like unlimited daily swipes, premium placement for your profile, see a list of people who like you, undo swipes, etc.
Minder offers a specific premium feature that does not belong in the Premium upgrade, called "Telegram". Telegrams give you the ability to send a message to people you haven't matched with. It is represented by a red email icon beside the name of each person in the "I liked" or "I passed" section.
This feature is sold separately and can be bought per piece or packs. The number of telegrams you buy determines the number of times you can use the feature. Since it is not part of the premium plan, even standard members can purchase it without having to upgrade their accounts.
Special Features
Minder is a pretty basic app, with features that are very similar to most of the existing dating apps in the market. But it does have a couple of cool features you never know you needed.
Telegram
Have you ever skipped on someone accidentally while swiping? Yes? Well, don't worry, Minder's telegram feature will let you send a message to anyone you haven't matched. It is a paid feature you can use for a limited number of times depending on the pack you have purchased.
Explore
Minder's explore option is pretty different from others. In this section, you will be able to see a list of people who liked you (paid feature), a list of people you passed on, and a list of people you liked.

Editor's Conclusion
Chris Pleines Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
Minder has made online dating easy for thousands of Muslims worldwide. It is an ideal place for Muslim singles to mingle and interact with each other. With its tight security measures, it is almost impossible to come across a bot or a fake account. The Minder team manually checks and verifies all of the profile requests they receive to ensure the safety of its members. Although the application is somewhat exclusive to the Muslim community, it still accepts people who are willing to convert. Despite being called as the "Muslim Tinder", it has managed to make a different image for itself. It does not attract people who are just into casual arrangements. In fact, the majority of its members, if not all, are looking for serious relationships that will hopefully lead to marriage. If you are not yet ready for a serious commitment, there are a lot of different Dating Apps you can try instead.
