Spoof Grindr 2020 is a location-based dating and social networking app for queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people. The app allows users to create a profile with photos, a bio, and their preferred gender pronouns. Users can then browse through profiles of other users in their area and message them if they’re interested.
The app was created by three queer developers who were tired of the lack of inclusivity on other dating apps. “We created Spoof Grindr because we wanted to create a space that was more inclusive of the queer community,” said one of the developers, Alex Linsker. “We wanted to create a platform where people could connect with each other without feeling like they had to conform to traditional gender norms.”
Since its launch in 2020, Spoof Grindr has become one of the most popular dating apps for queer people. It is available in over 190 countries and has been downloaded over 5 million times.
