Bad news for anyone trying to get some action on Grindr today — the app is down due to a widespread Cloudflare outage. The internet service posted on Tuesday morning that it was investigating an issue with its global network.
The top of Grindr’s status page states that the team began investigating an issue at 8:52 ET, and confirmed minutes later that it was due to Cloudflare.
It gets worse: another gay dating app, Sniffies, is down too, according to Downdetector. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Ziff Davis, which also owns Mashable).

Fellow gay dating apps SCRUFF and JACK’D also appear to be having errors. Both are run by Amazon Web Services.
If there’s one solace to those looking for a hookup, it’s that a slew of other websites, including X and Uber, are down as well.
