Grindr Web: what it is and how it works
For months now, Grindr has had a version for computers.In fact, continuing with the simile, it seems to share technology with WhatsApp Web, since its operation is very similar. Grindr Web is, therefore, a reflection of what happens in the Grindr application on our mobile, only in the comfort of an Internet browser on a computer. Therefore, you can count on a larger screen and a design adapted to it, the possibility of using the keyboard of your laptop or desktop and the possibility of working or attending to other actions and having Grindr in a browser tab. All comforts, go.
Or almost, because, as with WhatsApp Web, your mobile needs to be logged in to Grindr and connected to the Internet to have all the messages and profiles available on Grindr Web. In other words, you need to have everything running on your mobile to be able to replicate the experience on your computer.The good thing is that you don't need to download any application or tool. The bad thing is that it is not completely independent of your mobile.
- All you have to do is open Grindr on your mobile and display the main side menu of the application. Among the different options, such as Settings, you will find Grindr Web.
- Click on Grindr Web to open the eQR code scanner from your mobile.
- Access in your Internet browser (Chrome or another) on your computer (it doesn't matter if it is laptop or desktop) to Grindr Web to log in. You will find a QR code to scan.
- Frame the QR code with your mobile phone to sign in with your credentials and that's it.
From here you can now see your active conversations on your computer screen And not only that, also the grid of nearby profiles to your location. You can use Grindr just like on your mobile, filtering by age and tribe and starting a conversation or throwing taps and fires left and right.
The curious thing is that it also has a work mode in case you're using Grindr Web during your working hours or in class. Thanks to this mode you can cover the screen of the grid and the chat by clicking on the button in the upper corner of the screen. This way you'll pretend to have a folder open on your computer instead of flirting with guys at times or places where maybe you shouldn't.
The Grindr Web connection and its functionality is maintained as long as the mobile is connected to the Internet.If you want to make sure that no one else uses your Grindr Web session on the computer where you linked it, you can always cut this link from the mobile app, in the same section of Grindr Web.
Install Grindr on PC
There is another way to have all the guys you flirt with from your mobile also on your computer. And this time it is a completely independent system with respect to your mobile, with which you could have a second account destined only to be used from your computer or PC. Of course, the process to have this function and take advantage of it is not as comfortable as Grindr Web, but it is just as decisive.
Since there is no program or application to Install Grindr on the PC we must use an Android emulator.That is, a program that simulates having an Android mobile on our computer. And, once we have it, install a version of Grindr for Android on the computer.
This emulator that we are going to use is called Bluestacks, and it is a regular in bringing Android games and applications to the computers. It is completely free and very responsive. In addition, it adds many extra tools to the experience, although more focused on gamers than those who use an Android application on the computer.

The Bluestacks installation is fully guided by its wizard. You will only have to click on next and mark the corresponding options. Wait while the components are downloaded and installed and that's it.

It is the same process as on a mobile: enter your Google account and your password and you will be able to download content in your own name.
Search for Grindr to download Grindr for free on PC via emulator When you do, you can log in with your account or create a new profile. Up to you. With this, you can start using Grindr on your PC as if you were doing it on your mobile.
The good thing about installing Grindr on PC with Bluestacks is that this emulator offers a touch experience, so if your computer screen has this technology it will be like using it on your mobile.If not, you can always click on the profiles with the mouse The interface, in this case, is not adapted to the screen like Grindr Web, but at least you will have the Same experience as on mobile. Of course, perhaps the location is somewhat less realistic and accurate, since it will depend to a large extent on the Internet connection of your laptop or that it has its own GPS sensor to locate you at a certain point. However, even if you don't have it, installing Grindr on the computer with Blustack is feasible and functional.
Of course, keep in mind that it will be more complicated to carry out actions such as taking photos or making video calls Although you can always use photographs that previously saved on your computer to share them later on Grindr by attaching the file.
