I wouldn’t necessarily assume asking how your day is going is for nefarious info gathering. It’s just a normal part of small talk. (However I’ve never used any matching apps so don’t know the context, eg I just found out thumbs up emoji is apparently rude to younger gens). You can give nonspecific answers, just like you would in real life. Conversation needs to star somewhere.
