LGBTQIA+ dating · India
Rangmel is a dating app for queer, trans, non-binary and questioning adults in India. Everyone picks their own gender and pronouns. Nobody can message you unless you both said yes. And you decide who gets to see your face — before anyone sees it.
We do not show member photographs on this page. Faces live behind the log-in, where their owner controls them.
10 gender identities, 10 orientations, your pronouns shown on every card, and a free-text box when none of it fits. Pronouns are the one thing we always show, because getting them wrong is what most of our members came here to stop happening.
Show your photos to everyone, only to people you match with, or to one person at a time. When they are hidden, the blur is baked into a separate file, not a filter someone can strip off in a browser. No tier of membership can see past it.
A conversation only opens when you have both swiped right. There is no inbox of messages from strangers, because there is no way for a stranger to send one. Unmatch, block and report are one tap, and blocking is permanent.
Not free-for-now, not free-until-you-hit-a-wall. There is no paid tier, no subscription and nothing to upgrade to — and that includes the features other apps reliably charge for: seeing who liked you, every filter, incognito browsing, and read receipts.
Because the people this app is for are disproportionately the people who cannot pay — students, people who are not out at work, people whose card statement is read by somebody else. Putting the good parts behind a payment sorts users by how safe their life already is.
A daily allowance of points. A like costs one; a standout costs more. It refills every day and does not carry over. It exists so one account cannot swipe through an entire city in an afternoon — not to sell you more of it, because there is no more to sell.
Not the product either. We never send your gender, orientation or date of birth to an advertising network, in any form. That is written into the privacy policy, not just this page.
Submit a government ID and a live selfie for a verified badge if you want one. You can use the whole app without ever doing it, because requiring ID from queer people is its own kind of risk.
We never send your gender, orientation or date of birth to advertising networks. Not hashed, not "anonymised". Hashes are exactly what ad networks match people on.
Numbers, handles and links are hidden inside chat. Share yours when you have decided to, not because somebody asked on day one.
An Exit button on every screen, and Escape three times, loads a neutral page over the app and opens another in front of it. For when the risk is somebody in the room. There is an optional PIN in front of the app for the same reason.
One tap takes you out of every deck without losing your matches or your chats. And if you do want out, deletion is real: photographs and documents are erased from disk.
