A few years ago I found that HelloTalk (a language learning pen-pal app) stored the actual GPS coordinates of users in a SQLite that you can find in your iOS backup. The maps in-app showed only a general location (pin disappeared at a certain zoom).

You could also bypass the filter preventing searching for over 18 if you are under/under if you are over, and paid-only filters like location, gender, etc. by rewriting the requests with a mitmproxy (paid status is not checked server-side).
