Upward caters to individuals seeking serious relationships, making it unsuitable for Christians seeking casual hookups. These include being at least 18 years old and a Christian. To use Upward's services, it is important to meet certain eligibility criteria. If there is a mutual match, the app facilitates a conversation between the two individuals.
Similar to Tinder (and made by the same company), Upward allows users to swipe left or right to indicate their interest in potential matches. Upward, a swipe-style dating app specifically designed for Christian singles has gained popularity among the Christian community since its launch in 2021.
