What is Salams?
Salams is a religious dating app created for Muslims who are looking for their life partners. Salams is formerly known as 'Minder' until they changed their name in 2015.
Why did Minder change its name to Salams?
Minder started in 2015 with the intention of helping Muslims all over the world get married. Since then, the app has helped match tens of thousands of people with their spouses. Minder was great, but the app needed a name that better reflects its mission and values. Salams means 'peace' in Arabic.
Who owns Salams?
Salams is now owned by Match Group (acquired in October 2023).
USABILITY
What happens if I delete the Salams app from my phone?
Deleting the app from your phone will not affect your account. Your matches, conversations, and profile will not be deleted. If you reinstall the app, you will still have all the data you had from before you deleted the app.
How long does it take for Salams to approve my profile?
Salams can take up to 24 hours to review and approve your profile. If you want to speed up the process, upload images that have a clear view of your face and complete your profile!
