Abstract
Social networks and dating apps base their success on a series of algorithms which, together with the power of the image and the logic of the click, facilitate the engagement of their users who incorporate the commercial logic of these apps into their intimate desire to find their ideal romantic partner. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The sample was randomly selected by clusters and is composed of a total of 1538 adolescents (783 women and 771 men), with a sampling error of 2.5% and a confidence level of 95%. The age range was 12 to 18 years (M = 15.24; WD = 1.73). The aim of this article is to explore the use of apps and social networks in Spanish adolescents to establish emotional and/or sexual links or relationships.
