HER

What HER is

HER is a mobile-first dating and social community service built for queer people, with a strong focus on lesbian, bisexual, trans, non-binary and gender-nonconforming users. It suits people seeking dates, relationships, friendships, local LGBTQ+ connections or community conversation rather than only one-to-one matchmaking. The service began with a lesbian and queer-women focus and has expanded to broader LGBTQIA+ participation while retaining a sapphic-oriented identity. Users create a profile with photos, identity details, pronouns, interests and optional Pride Pins.

They can browse profiles, like people, match, start chats, add friends and participate in interest-based Communities. The app also includes a social Feed, LGBTQ+ news and event discovery. Matching is primarily based on profile browsing, location and stated preferences; users can use filters and other discovery controls, with some advanced tools reserved for Premium. Free users can like, match, message, post, join Communities and view events. Premium is optional and may provide ad-free use, unlimited swipes, incognito mode, rewind, visibility into likes or profile activity, real-time online status and additional search filters.

Important limitations include the lack of a current web or mobile-browser version: actual dating use requires the iOS or Android app. Availability varies by country, although HER lists more than 125 markets. Users must be adults, and current terms require an account holder to be at least 18. As with any dating service, profiles and interactions can involve privacy, impersonation, scams or unwanted contact risks. HER provides reporting, moderation, verification-related tools, safety guidance and privacy controls, but these do not eliminate risk.

Subscription prices and available Premium tiers can vary by platform, region and billing duration.
