Gay map sniffles

Sniffies is the first of its kind -app, bringing the full cruising experience to any device and any browser. The Sniffies map updates in realtime, showing nearby Cruisers, active cruising groups, and popular cruising spots nearby. Sniffies, the wildly popular, map-based cruising app, has unveiled one of its most significant updates yet — and it’s set to reshape how queer people connect, travel, and explore.

sniffies meaning

Sniffies is a -based, map-style hookup app for gay, bi, and curious men—and the occasional adventurous couple. Instead of swiping through anonymous profiles, you're looking at live, GPS-tagged pins of real people in your area. In this ultimate smackdown: Sniffies vs. Grindr, we’ll compare these two platforms to see which might best suit your goals, whether you’re looking for a casual hookup, new friends, or simply exploring the possibilities of modern digital gay socializing.

We’ll also tackle the question on many people’s minds: Is Sniffies the new Grindr?. At long last, the cruising app Sniffies has launched an iOS app that brings its “game-changing, map-based experience to mobile like never before.” Personally, I didn’t use Sniffies that often. Sniffies is a map-based hookup app for gay and bi men. Sniffies sets itself apart from other apps such as Grindr because it is specific about its value: creating hookups.

You can find a boyfriend; you can maybe sell a car. Who knows, find your best friend.

But Sniffies is superspecific. The platform provides users with a real time map that is updated to show nearby Cruisers, popular meeting spots, and active groups. As part of its casual vibe, the platform has multiple options to protect privacy and anonymise interactions between users. Unless you sign up to Sniffies Plus, users will automatically show up on the real time map when using the app.

Cruisers who are hosting a meetup will show up with an orange ring on the map, with the ability to specify certain details. Beyond the map-based features, the Sniffies platform also provides traditional text-based chat, as well as live video calling. User profiles involve a profile photo and certain details which specify what the individual is looking for. Nudity is allowed in profile photos, which restricts Sniffies from being found on the established app stores.
