Blendr was an online dating application based on geosocial networking for Android, iOS and Facebook. It was designed to connect like-minded people near to each other. It was created by Joel Simkhai and patterned after his previous app Grindr (an app aimed at gay men). Blendr claimed to be "powered by" Badoo but largely appeared to be the same service. As of 2022, it had 200 million users worldwide and required users to be over the age of 18. On 31 October 2022, Blendr ceased activity in all territories worldwide. A statement on the Blendr website stated that all user data would be deleted by 30 November 2022 and the website would go offline from 7 December 2022. The application combined GPS location sensing with a social networking framework, to provide users with the opportunity to meet people who were near to each other. The application could also be used to communicate with people in real time about a location, such as getting information about the current status of a local restaurant, or for determining whether a club currently held people that the user might want to meet. Users needed to be over the age of 18.
