Grindr’s new desktop version offers “bigger” browsing & photos, but Gay Twitter™ is skeptical
Grindr Web offers “a new way for our community to stay connected right from their computer,” the company shares in an official press statement, announcing that the Beta version of the site is now live exclusively to XTRA and Unlimited subscribers.Now, you might be wondering what the point of a desktop Grindr is, when it’s long been available on our phones, which we’re all practically tethered too anyway.
Well, Grindr knew you’d have that exact thought, and outlined a few benefits of its new service:For one, it’s all about accessibility and being at your fingertips, wherever those might be.
Grindr Web will maximize its slay by allowing you to see “six profiles across”—instead of the standard three on the app—and you’ll also be able to chat with someone while you’re browsing.As they write, it’s also about ease and choosing the Grindr experience that’s right for you. “With Grindr Web, you can chat with a possible hookup while you answer your boss’s email on your phone,” they add.
Okay, salient point!Grindr can be useful in an emergency, it seems.And, finally, it’s about discretion. Some folks may be on the DL and not want that little skull-face logo popping up on their home screen—fair enough.
