Dark mode is here. Pick Light, Dark, or follow your system setting in Settings. Every screen, including the map, has been redone for it. Disappearing photos and albums. Your chats are still end-to-end encrypted and private, now with more control. Send a photo or album that can be viewed once, for one hour, or for 24 hours. Recipients see a blurred preview and know it expires before they open it. When it's gone, it's gone from our servers too. On mobile, you'll be told if someone screenshots it. Reactions replace Nudges. A nudge never said much. Now you can react to the exact photo that caught your eye, and the person on the other end knows what you liked and has something to reply to. Your Reactions inbox shows who reacted, to which photo, with a one-tap way to message them back. Say hi without leaving the profile. Every profile now has a message box on it. Type, send, and the conversation starts right there. See who's viewed your profile, or browse anonymously. Plus fixes to notifications, faster profile photos, and Bluesky notifications that finally show up on mobile.

Great gay social app

I’ve tried a lot of dating apps, and Thumpr feels refreshingly different. Instead of endless swiping and superficial profiles, it actually feels like it’s built to help people make real connections with guys nearby.

The design is clean, modern, and fun without being overwhelming. The community also feels more intentional and welcoming than what I’ve experienced elsewhere. It has a fresh identity that stands out while still being easy to use.

If you’re looking for an app that feels authentic, community-focused, and designed for meaningful connections—not just another copy of the same dating app formula—Thumpr is worth checking out. Excited to see how it continues to grow.
