Some apps, like Ok Cupid, have this. Others like Tinder give you the option to set “intention” such as short-term or casual, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to non-monogamy. Apps like Hinge allow you to specify that you’re non-monogamous, but don’t allow you to filter by it.
The apps are, by and large, very aware of these audiences and simultaneously averse to catering to them. Which is odd - the major shift to subscription-based Boosts, Super Likes, etc, is all geared towards keeping people using your dating app. The people most likely to want to come back are either A) those not finding a lasting monogamous relationship, or B) those who are open to finding more than one partner.
As a man, there's enough poly people to notice, but not so much it becomes an inconvenience. Is it way worse for women on these apps? Not a woman so idk what the # of poly guys is on dating apps.

There should absolutely be a filter for non-monogamous users. If you can filter by age and height, why can't you filter for monogamy?
