YouPorn has decided to create a TikTok-like app, but for porn.

The app, YouPorn SWYP, basically offers you a scrolling collection of short previews to the adult videos on the popular pornography website. If you swipe up, you’ll move to the next preview. Find something you like, swipe left, and you’ll be taken to the full video.

“At YouPorn, we are always trying to help our users discover their ideal adult entertainment experience,” YouPorn VP Charlie Hughes said in today’s announcement. “Now with the addition of YouPorn SWYP, it is easier than ever for users to explore content based on their specific interests.”

Hughes hopes the new app will offer a more “visually enticing” way to enjoy the website’s videos. However, YouPorn doesn’t want you to scroll through the previews endlessly. As you find videos to select and watch, the app will try to guess your preferences, and suggest others videos you may like.

“In this mode, YouPorn provides a clean interface free of visual distractions, as only one video thumbnail is shown at a time. In addition, video previews play automatically once displayed on the screen, so no need to click play time after time,” the website said.

The bad news for fans is that YouPorn doesn’t have a standalone app on Google Play or Apple’s App Store due to their strict policies against pornographic content. As a result, the website created YouPorn SWYP as a web-based app, which uses the Chrome or Safari browser in your mobile phone to launch the service.

You can access YouPorn SWYP with this link. Despite being a web app, you can still create an app icon for the service on your phone’s home screen. The app will also let you sign in with an existing YouPorn account to save your preferences.

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
