Grindr is a popular dating and social networking app for gay, bisexual, and transgender people. It is available as an app for iPhone and Android devices, and there is also a desktop version that can be used on Windows and Mac computers. In this article, we will explain how to use Grindr on the desktop version, including how to create a profile, find matches, and send messages. We will also discuss some of the features of Grindr Web that are not available in the mobile app. Let’s get started!

If you have mobile access to Grindr Web and are logged into that account, you will see a blue bar at the top of your screen that prompts you to log in to Grindr Web.
When you are logged into both apps, your profile information is available on both apps.
If you are seeing this box, it means that you are not logged into any Grindr accounts. That means that you will not be able to see your profile information in the app until you log in. To create a Grindr account, tap on “Create New Account” at the bottom of the page.

When you are using Grindr Web, go to the Settings page and click on “Use Kik Login”. Allow your browser to access your camera, and then scan the QR code. You should be able to login into Grindr Web successfully.
But how do I find matches?
There are two ways to search for matches on Grindr Web. The first is to go to the browse screen and start typing in a word or phrase. For example, if you don’t know what to say on a first message, you can type in “how are you today?”, and a list of matches will come up that have used the word “how”, or some other word similar to it.
The second way is to search for people based on their location. To search by location, click the arrow button in the top left corner of your screen and select “Location”. Then click on any of the countries or states down at the bottom next to “Now”.
When you select one of the countries, the app will automatically change your location so that it is in that country. It will also show you how many people are nearby, and a small map to help you locate them. On this screen, you can also search for matches by age and sexual orientation.
The final way to find matches on Grindr Web is to click on “Find Friends”, which allows you to search for people based on their email addresses and usernames.
How to message matches?
When you click on a profile, you will see the person’s name, age, and distance from you. Some people will also have their sexual orientation listed here. If the person is not online or does not have a photo, you will see a gray silhouette instead of a picture. You can refresh the page to see if they are online later using the refresh button next to their name.
To send a message, just click on the blue chat bubble icon in their profile picture. Then type in your message and send. You can also edit the message by clicking on it and making changes.
If you are not seeing the chat bubble icon, that means you cannot send messages right now. The person you have messaged may have blocked or reported you for abusive behaviour. If this happens, it may take a few days before you are allowed to message people again.
Conclusion
A lot of the people on Grindr Web are just there to chat, and if you try to send them a message, you will probably not get a response. The interface is very slow and buggy, especially when it comes to messaging. I don’t recommend using Grindr Web unless you are already logged into Grindr or it is your only option.
