New to Switched? Well, let's show you around. We recently launched and wanted to make a modern app for kinky people. Check out this thread to find out more!
Who doesn't love the sight of someone struggling to move in a sleepsack or Vac-rack? Show is your Vac-Rack pics! (Thanks to TheLuminary for the picture!)
In less than 72 hours, weโve reached 5,000+ active users and accelerating, despite all issues. Thereโs so much content AND activity on Switched that weโve had to double our servers FOUR TIMES since then.
Seriously, thank you for being part of our storyโฆ โค๏ธ
It means so much.
Curious to see what the app looks like? Here is a little teaser with some of the cool things youโll find on the app. Launching January 2023. Sign up for emails at and be one of the first to join!
Welcome to the new users that joined us after the issues with Twitter. We're only two months old (!) and continue working hard to make Switched the new home for kinksters. We're a social network with matchmaking, and we hope you'll love it. Thank you for being part of our story.
Kinksters! We are now just waiting for App Store approval, which can take some time, we haven't disappeared, it's all happening, and we are REALLY EXCITED to get the app in your hands. STAY TUNED!

Hey there, Iโm sorry youโre waiting for screens to open so often. Weโve only just launched and we didnโt expecting this immediate level of interest! Weโre only a small startup of only 2 guys trying to do something awesome. Please bear with us. Weโre working as hard as we can.
"100% active" and "70% passive" is a thing of the past. Our app lets you tell people exactly what you're into, what you want to try, and how you want it done.
fun fact: you always look several times hotter in your gear than you think you do, so take pictures early and often because later you'll look back and wonder what you were worried about
๐๐ป APP UPDATE: Switched v1.0.6 contains performance and stability fixes incl.
- Notifications glitch
- Nearby page list > 20
- Number of โค๏ธ on profile
- Longer pronouns
- Improved image uploads
- and more
Google LIVE NOW
Apple SOON
You did so great with Jocks, now Let's see some leather in timelines ๐๏ธ Doesnโt have to be full Langlitz! ๐ถ๏ธ

We're working to resolve the issues, so please bear with us.

look I may not NEED these motorbike leathers and I may not OWN a motorbike, per se, but one should always aspire to the calibre of sex that requires a crash helmet

Thank you for being part of our story! (3/3)
We are working on a bug that limits the types of special characters you can use in your password. For now, if you're having problems, use punctuation characters such as: , . ; ! etc
Reasons to Join Switched No.1! We are a small queer and kinky owned business, made by Kinksters for Kinksters! We listen to feedback, and have addressed bugs and added new features almost every week since launch! Join Us!
We often add new kinks to the list for all you horny people. We recently added bikers, hypnosis, and nipple play after an extremely specific but ultimately enjoyable nightmare.
So, full disclosure, the SwitchedCore system doesn't teleport a sexy stranger directly into your playroom, but it *does* do about 90% of the work to get you there.
One of our most requested features was the ability to set your home location on your profile. In the 1.0.9 update, you can now go to your profile and tap the home icon to enter the town or city you call home!
๐ฃ KNOWN ISSUE: Android users are not currently able to buy subscriptions. Weโve reached out to Google and theyโre working to resolve it asap.
Note: we honestly didnโt expect anyone to purchase a subscription so early on. Thank you for believing in us. It means SO much. ๐ซถ๐ปโค๏ธ

Gentle request for people to stop hammering the LOCKED button on the Chastity section, it will not remove the device and we are not in a position to influence your fate. Even if you subscribe. Which you should.

The Discipline section of SwitchedCore is all about making an impact. Geddit? Impact. Like hitting someone. Or telling terrible jokes until Daddy gets his belt out. ๐
๐ฃ We've deployed a better and improved version of Matches (no app update needed) to bring each user more relevant matches while prioritising those closer to you. We're working round the clock to continue to improve the app for all of our 13k active users and counting. Thank you!
๐ฃ NEW UPDATE v1.0.9 OUT NOW (we skipped v1.0.8!)

NEW KINKS! We've just added ten of the most requested kinks to
@SwitchedApp
, including Sneakers and Sports Kit, Diapers, Boots, Biker, CG/L and more. Update your apps and tell us in the comments which ones you're most happy to see!
Our 4th update since launch only 2 weeks ago will be available shortly. This update addresses many issues with messaging, makes weight and height optional, and allows users to hide their age if they wish to. Weโre just waiting for final app store approvals. ๐คฉ
Huge congratulations to Julien, Mister Fetish France 2024. A well deserved win ๐๐ป We are proud sponsors of the contest and wish Julien a great year ahead!
๐ฃ Apologies for the last minute notice, but we need to performance some maintenance work on our servers for the first time since launching. Itโs possible that the server will be down for a short period of time. Weโll provide an update once completed.
as a kinkster it is important you follow the same rules as a vampire: shun daylight, avoid mirrors at all costs, be careful where you pass water, and only come inside when you are invited
The SwitchedCore has lots of kinky categories, so put yourself in a box. Or multiple boxes. All the boxes. Destroy the boxes. Get locked inside a box. (that last part is up to you)
๐๐ป Weโve addressed an issue that prevented a number of public profiles from rendering correctly. This change is now live.
Thank you to everyone who has downloaded Switched and continues to use the app and believe in us despite the issues. ๐ซถ๐ป
Switched is now available in 28 more countries across Latin America, Asia and South Africa, from Argentina to Venezuela (check the list below). We are so excited to meet more international kinksters. Please retweet!
๐ Exciting News Alert!
Switched is thrilled to announce the launch of our very first podcast episode, "Navigating Kink in a Digital Era!"

๐ข The server will be unavailable for a couple of minutes at around 4:35pm UK time for a rollout. The app will not work during this time, but it will be quick! We have 500 active users on the site right now, but really need to update the site.
We were two months old this week! Thank you to all 17k of you that have created profiles, uploaded pictures, and posted on the timeline. We've come a long way in 8 short weeks and look forward to the coming weeks, months and years of building the kink app you deserve!
Phew! We launched the Beta and have been getting so much amazing feedback weโve realised itโs not quite done yet. The team have been working nonstop but needs a few more weeks to get Switched ready for you all. Thanks for your patience! We hope to have it in your hands very soon!
๐ฃ๏ธThe Beta is out! Weโve sent instructions to everyone. You should have also received an email from Google Play/Apple App Stores. 5 testers emails werenโt valid or didnโt provide an alternative contact email. Get in touch if you think you are one of them so we can fix it for you.
๐ Let's Give a Big Round of Applause! ๐๐

Thank you for being so patient! Since our Indiegogo finished, we've been working hard to get the last few features ready for the launch in the coming weeks, and we hope to give you a launch date very soon! Stay tuned!
We've grouped kinks into 7 groups: Basics, Restrictive, Discipline, Sensory, Power Exchange, Attire, and Lifestyle. Kinks can be subjective, but we did our best to make the options work for everyone while making yours unique.
๐ฃ A new release v1.1.2 is out, removing the square crop restriction across the app (big code change), and includes bug fixes and improvements. We're still working on new galleries, but we wanted to share an update!

A long time coming!
Finally: a modern app for gay kinksters today. Switched is a social network with matchmaking. Match, Chat, Post, Interact, Discover. Launching in January 2023.
We are working on a big update to galleries at the moment but it's taking a little longer than expected, Please bear with us, we are sure it will be worth the wait!
Switched wishes all you Kinksters a wonderful International Fetish Day! We are all about raising awareness of the inclusive, consensual and fun fetish lives we live!
Switched is bringing you a chat between CEO Eddie and Mr Leather Europe 2022 Stevio, as they discuss what makes Italy tick in the fetish scene.
@DomTopLad
Stevio talks about the history of the club and itโs leather events!

#switchedapp
We've grown really fast, really quickly, which is not NOT a size fetish thing, but is also thanks to you for putting some trust in us! With your help, we're here to stay.
We've just released an updated Switched Core to our Beta Testers, and we can't wait to show you the new, easier-to-read designs. We are on the home straight now and will be able to give you a launch date very soon.
We're proud to announce that Switched has partnered with
@BLUFclub
to bring your BLUF # into Switched and vice-versa. BLUF was founded in 1997 and is the de facto home for men into breeches and leather uniforms worldwide. Show off your verified BLUF # on Switched - coming soon!
We asked our Beta Testers to give us a one-word review.
@Gazgagged
said we're 'Needed', and we agree, which is why we made Switched. For too long, the kinky community has been underserved. We aim to change that!
