Grindr ‘blocks explore function around Paris Olympic village’
Anyone looking for gay love in the Olympic village is out of luck: LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr appears to have disabled global visibility, to protect competitors.
Reports suggest that the dating app’s “explore” function has been limited in the Olympic village in Paris, which will be home to almost 15,000 athletes during The Games, which begin on Friday (26 July).
Posts on social media show users trying to explore the village find no profiles at all – an oddity, given that the app has more than 13 million monthly users worldwide.
