Grindr's been peeving off its customers, and other dating apps are starting to take note. Since its "AI era" announcement and the introduction of an astronomically priced premium tier, Grindr's competitors have stepped up to the plate to give people what they want: hookups, now.

Squirt, a cruising site that's been around since 1999 BG (Before Grindr), launched its first iOS app (SQ Dating) in April, and now it's adding new features to encourage you to download the app and check out the site, including a revamped "Video Chat" experience and a "New Guys" grid.

According to a press release shared with Mashable, "Video Chat" has been rebuilt for a "smoother, faster, and more reliable 1:1 experience." It's easier to jump between the web and mobile app; you can also switch between your front and rear cameras and receive incoming call notifications (no matter what page you're on) across both platforms.

"Bringing back Video Chat gives members a more immediate way to flirt, tease, verify chemistry, and decide what happens next," Andrew Nolan, Head of Dating Businesses at Squirt's parent company, Pink Triangle Press, said in a statement. "Whether they're browsing on the website or using the app, we want the experience to feel direct, easy, and hot.”

To make it even easier to see who's brand-new to the app, the company launched a "New Guys" grid. This is essentially a grid of guys who've joined in the last 30 days or who've been online "recently" and explicitly flag that they want to meet up right now — which helps if you're tired of seeing the same local faces over and over again.

Squirt also says it's planning to add an integrated "Map" feature later this summer (taking a page from Sniffies' book, I see) to give you another way to connect with nearby profiles. You'll find it under "Dating" on the app and "Cruising Listings" on desktop, where you can check into locations and browse nearby activity.
