Tinder and Grindr Are Down — And the Girls Are Scrambling

Leading dating apps Tinder and Grindr are down.

On August 15, several users attempted to open their Grindr app to no avail. Shortly after, Tinder users chimed in with the same experience. "Why can’t I open Grindr? Or Tinder," one user questioned.

In true Twitter form, the commentary hilariously points out the hours in which people actually hookup — as many didn’t know their peers were up for Thursday morning orgasms. Of course, Astrology Twitter didn’t skip a beat and reminded the girls that their favorite apps were down during Mercury Retrograde, a time known for miscommunication and tech failures.
