The new digital magazine, or content platform for want of a better term, is called Into and it will comprise "a collection of articles, videos, photography, and more that celebrate and represent the modern LGBTQ world."

The platform will curate "uplifting" positive stories, real-time advice on where to go in cities around the world, info on the latest trends from people setting them, and first-person accounts of LGBTQ events and issues.

"Intowill help you navigate while travelling, as we’ll share travel info relating to nightlife, culture and where to hang out."

It's Grindr's "first major foray into digital publishing" and to say it's an interesting move would be an understatement. Grindr clearly wants to establish itself as more than just a hookup app.

"One thing we hear a lot from the younger generation, is that they don’t like the definition of hookup app," said Grindr's creative director Landis Smithers.

Smithers says that, for a long time, they've let people make their own assumptions about the app, but that people use Grindr in many different ways. "Sometimes it’s just to kill time, or it can be to get club recommendations, or just to meet new people," says Smithers.
