Following the news that 4 guys used Grindr to kidnap, beat and rob gay men in Texas, it is a good time to go through some tips to stay safe on dating apps.
Whether it’s Grindr, Growlr, Her, Hornet, Scruff or Tinder, there’s nothing strange about using a phone app to find dates and sex.
Millions of people use these apps every day, the vast majority without any incident – but as two more men are convicted of murdering people they met on dating apps, the need to be cautious is real.
Check out the top tips for dating app safety:
