SMASH is a dating app that emphasizes appearances over detailed profiles and personal information. Instead of traditional bios, horoscopes, or names, users focus on dressing up and taking a selfie, which becomes the main way to communicate and attract potential matches. The app promotes a casual and straightforward approach to meeting new people by letting looks do the talking, making the process quick and simple.
Once you upload a selfie on SMASH, it is posted for a brief period of 69 minutes, during which nearby users can view it. If they are interested, users are encouraged to start flirting and make plans to meet up. This limited timeframe creates a sense of urgency and encourages immediate responses, ensuring that interactions are spontaneous and lively. After 69 minutes, the profile and chat history vanish, prompting users to start fresh and keep engagements dynamic.
This ephemeral nature extends to the entire experience, as users' profiles and conversations automatically delete after the allotted time. The app is free to join, and user anonymity is maintained to protect privacy. Only those who have recently been online and are nearby are visible, eliminating fake profiles and ensuring authentic, real-time interactions. The rapid cycle of posting and deleting encourages users to act quickly and confidently in pursuing matches.
SMASH caters to various relationship preferences, whether users are seeking casual encounters, friends with benefits, or simply want to meet new people locally. It is particularly popular in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Additionally, the app offers a premium service called SMASH FIRE, which provides benefits like longer connection sessions, higher visibility, and unlimited chat reactivations.
