Ready, Sweat, Go: ‘Right Now’ Expands to 15 New Cities Worldwide
Sometimes, all you have is an hour. Maybe you just finished a sweaty gym session and are feeling the rush, or maybe you’re on your lunch break and are hungry for more than a quick sandwich. All that back-and-forth? Hard pass.
Right Now is Grindr’s new feature designed to get straight to the fun without endless filtering or prolonged chit-chat. After successful pilots in Australia and the greater Washington D.C. area, Right Now is making its debut in fifteen new markets.
Starting today, Right Now is rolling out in New York City, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Philadelphia, Austin, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Orlando, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, São Paulo, and Milan—with even more markets on the horizon.
What Exactly Is ‘Right Now’?
The magic is that it gives users a new way to indicate their intention to connect "right now.” Instead of scrolling the grid and guessing who’s down to meet ASAP, you pop into a dedicated new feed where people post exactly what they’re looking for... right now.
Each post stays live for only one hour, so you’ll see who’s currently active and available in that moment. Right Now helps find what you’re craving in real-time.
How It Works
- Open Grindr.
- Tap “Right Now.” You’ll see it in the main navigation, sidebar, or as a new button floating on the grid.
- Browse or Post in the feed. You can choose to share a quick line and (if you’re feeling bold) a photo that lets others know exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re not ready to post, you can always browse the feed to see who is ready to meet.
- Connect with people who catch your eye—or reply to chats from others interested in you.
Made for the Community, by the Community
Right Now didn’t just materialize out of thin air. It was born from your feedback—especially from folks who want immediate, no-nonsense meetups. Grindr users asked. So we built it. And we’re thrilled to see how it’s already making connections simpler, faster, and more immediate.
Coming Soon…
Not in one of the newly added cities? No sweat. We’re already planning the next wave of expansions, with more major cities rolling out in the coming months. So watch this space—or your Grindr app—for updates to be among the first to know when Right Now lands in your city.
Ready to Try It?
Open Grindr, tap the Right Now button and explore your city’s feed. You’ll be amazed how quickly sparks can fly when everyone’s on the same page. Whether you’ve got a short break or a free evening, Right Now offers the connections you’re craving—without the wait.
Disclaimer: Right Now is available on Grindr for both iOS and Android. Each session lasts one hour, with every user receiving 10 free sessions per week (refreshing every Friday). Additional sessions can be purchased within the app. Posts and images are not required to use Right Now.
