Frequently asked questions
Can I hide my distance or location?
Many apps let you hide your distance, and some offer travel or incognito modes. We list each app’s location-privacy options in its profile.
Are gay hookup apps safe when travelling?
In countries where same-sex relationships are criminalised, apps may restrict features or show safety warnings. Check local laws and use the app’s discreet mode where available.
