6months post break up, should I download the dating apps?

i have been told by a few friends and family to maybe consider downloading dating apps just for fun. i have made it clear to everyone that im not ready to date right now as i am still grieving my ex almost everyday. i was given the suggestion to download the dating apps just as a distraction from the loneliness or to use it “casually” what do you guys think ?

*edit: I also wanted to throw in there, my objective with downloading dating apps is NOT to begin “dating” people immediately, but to simply talk to people casually as another form of distraction. thank you though to everyone who commented and gave their input :)!
