Présentation
Founded in 2009, Grindr was the first geosocial dating app — using GPS to show nearby users on a grid. It transformed gay dating and remains the dominant platform for gay, bisexual, trans, and queer men globally, operating in over 190 countries including many where LGBTQ+ identities face legal challenges.
Fonctionnalités
Grindr's grid shows nearby profiles sorted by distance. The app supports all LGBTQ+ identities and pronouns. You can set a profile for Dates, Chats, Relationships, or Networking. XTRA and Unlimited tiers unlock advanced filters, ad-free browsing, profile boosts, read receipts, and the ability to see profiles beyond the immediate grid.
Tarifs
Grindr Free is generous, with the grid, messaging, and basic profiles. Grindr XTRA (~$14.99/month annually) adds filters, boosts, and read receipts. Grindr Unlimited (~$29.99/month) goes further with unsend messages and extended profiles.
