Make Friends in Stockholm — Mingle
Mingle is a free swipe app for meeting people in Stockholm — fourteen islands, one archipelago, and fika as a social operating system. Set your city, choose Friends or Dating mode, and swipe profiles from Södermalm and Vasastan to Kungsholmen, Gamla Stan and Årsta. You must be 18 or over, and matching stays at city level: Mingle never uses precise GPS, so your exact address stays private. When you match, plans fit the city — fika on Götgatan, a walk through Djurgården, a swim from a Södermalm beach, or a winter window-seat coffee on Kungsholmen's Strandvägen.
How it works
Sign up with a first name, your age and Stockholm as your city, then pick at least three interests so your deck leans toward people you would click with — skiing, saunas, indie music, island hopping, whatever suits you. Swipe right to like, left to pass, up for a Super Like, and back if you change your mind. Likes that come back become a match, and chat opens with suggested conversation starters so nobody has to open with just "hej". Filters cover age, distance and shared interests only — no race, ethnicity, nationality or religion filters — and the app runs in your browser, installing on your phone.
Is Mingle free?
Yes. Profiles, swipes, matches and chats are free in both modes, with nothing to cancel and no card to enter. Mingle stays free on clearly labelled advertising and a few partner links on the "Plan the hang" screen. On first open you choose whether non-essential cookies are used, and "Essential only" never disables a feature — the consent choice Swedish and EU privacy law (GDPR) expects.
Safety first
Meet in public for a first hang — a busy fika spot on Götgatan, the lit paths of Kungsträdgården, or a weekend crowd in Djurgården — and tell a friend where you are going and when you will be back. Keep chat inside Mingle until you are comfortable and never send money to someone you have only met online. Every profile carries a report button 🚨 with specific reasons, including "Under 18", plus a block button 🚫. Mingle is 18+ only, underage accounts are removed, your data is handled under the GDPR, and location stays at city level.
