Ma Baoli started Blued as a gay dating and social app and grew it into one of the largest in Asia, with a user base counted in the tens of millions. The company behind it, BlueCity, listed and later delisted in New York; Ma left in mid-2022 and Newborn Town, which runs a portfolio of social and gaming apps for international audiences, took control the following year. The app was still shipping updates in June 2026.
Blued does more than match people. Profiles and proximity search work the way anyone would expect, letting you browse who is nearby or look at another city before you travel there. Around that sits a feed and a live streaming layer, so the app functions as a social network for a community that in many places has few other gathering points online. The interface runs in English, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese, and an international version alongside the community brand HeeSay serves users outside the original home market.
That breadth explains why people stay after the dating part stops being the point. Someone moving to a new city opens it to find where the community actually is. Someone who watches a stream ends up in a chat with people who share more than a postcode. Availability is uneven and shifts with local rules: the app disappeared from some regional stores in late 2025, and availability shifted again in Malaysia in March 2026, so where and how people reach it varies by country in a way that does not apply to a shopping app.
Registration confirms a phone number by SMS, and this is a category where the choice of number carries real weight. A profile here says something personal about you, the audience includes strangers, and in some places discretion is not a preference but a necessity. Take the confirmation on an additional number and the account keeps a line of its own. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your profile, matches and conversations stay in Blued.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Blued
Pick Blued from the service list on 5SIM. The countries currently holding numbers for it load next. Choose one and the operators serving that country and service pairing appear.
Every operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate together. Weigh all three rather than sorting on price. Low stock behind a weak recent rate usually means a second attempt, which costs more than the cheaper line saved.
Your number lands in the active order as soon as you buy. Enter it in the Blued phone field, request the SMS, and the message arrives in that same order window. Orders stay live for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing comes through, cancel the unused active order and the payment returns to your 5SIM balance right away. An unused order left to expire refunds on its own.
