The Grid is essentially the Grindr home page. When you open Grindr, the Grid will - by default - display the users closest to you (and those using Boost). From here, you can apply Grid controls to cater your search to exactly what you’re looking for. You can use your Grid controls to filter for any combination of Tags, Filters, Fresh, and Explore. Once you’ve successfully applied a Grid control, that specific control will turn yellow to let you know it is active.
Grid controls
- Free users can use some combinations of Grid Controls, and can view the nearest 99 Profiles.
- Xtra users can use any combination of Grid Controls and can view the nearest 600 Profiles.
- Unlimited users can use any combination of Grid Controls and can view ALL profiles.
Shuffle
Note: We’re currently testing this feature, so it may not be consistently available to you yet.
Surface fresh profiles by Shuffling your grid! To Shuffle, just pull down on your grid to refresh it, and you’ll see the option to Shuffle. Once Shuffled, we’ll show you a fresh batch of profiles, ordered randomly.
Keep in mind that Shuffle doesn’t extend the number of profiles you’re able to see at once – free users will have their 99 profiles shuffled, XTRA users 600, and Unlimited users 999.
If you’re using filters, they’ll be applied when you Shuffle too. applied, the same logic applies. For example, if your current filters results in 33 profiles being shown, then 33 new profiles will be surfaced with Shuffle.
You can Shuffle your grid endlessly, regardless of your subscription tier.
For You
For You is a daily set of six new profiles, curated directly for you. These are profiles we think you’re most likely to vibe with, based on a compatibility model designed to connect our users with complementary interests. You'll receive a fresh set of profiles For You every day, along with a countdown timer of when your next For You profiles will refresh.

Determining profiles For You
If you’ve consented to helping us improve our AI features, you’ll be eligible to receive a curated list of profiles For You, as well as to show up on another user's list of For You profiles. To ensure quality matches, all profiles For You are in good standing (no bans, or reports of bad behavior), and are active weekly.
Every For You profile is put on a 2-day cooldown period. This cooldown period is overwritten if a user acts on the profile and another cooldown period is applied (i.e. passes or messages the user, the 2-day cooldown goes away and the 60-day cooldown is applied).
Interacting with profiles For You
You can interact with your For You profiles by sending them a message, or passing on them if you’re not interested (this will ensure they don’t appear again For You for at least 60 days).
If you’re a free or XTRA user, you’ll be able to send a message to one of your For You profiles every day for free. Unlimited users can send messages to all of their For You profiles, every day.
You may see the same profile in your For You section every couple of days until you choose to interact – either by sending them a message, or passing on the profile. You’re not able to block, favorite, or send a Tap to any profiles directly from the For You section of your grid.
Insertables
Insertables aggregate and display the most relevant profiles for you, based on the details you’ve included in your profile. For example, if you’ve identified yourself as a Top, you may see an Insertable for folks who identify as Bottoms and Vers Bottoms. Insertables will appear as labeled sections within your Grid, and include randomized Nearby profiles that fit the criteria of that Insertable.
