Sniffies is a map-based hookup web app for gay, bisexual, and bicurious men.[1] [2] [3]
The website features a map that shows the approximate locations of nearby users who are currently active or have recently been active on the platform. The map also shows the locations of groups and popular meeting places in the user's area. Users can browse the map to view profiles, chat, and share pictures with potential partners in their area. Sniffies does not require registration to use; however, certain features, such as filtering results, require free registration.[3]
The website was launched in 2018 by its founder, Blake Gallagher, in Seattle, Washington.[4] The name "Sniffies" came from an earlier website that was used for trading underwear, but now refers more to "sniffing out what's around" and "sniffing out the fun", according to its marketing officer.[5]
