Watermark on album
Adding a watermark feature to private photo albums on Grindr could be a game-changer in combating photo theft and identity misuse on the platform. By incorporating a watermark displaying the date and time of album access, users would have a clear indication of when their photos were viewed, deterring potential misuse. This not only enhances security but also fosters a safer and more trustworthy environment for users to share their photos.

Do Not Allow Private Folders Available on computers.
I just was blackmailed by a person who was using Grindr from his computer. I shared my album with this person and they recorded my photos and videos from their computer in his phone. Later he asked for money or was gonna send it to family and friends.

Ads and Evolving Technologies
About ads: make sure that ads shown on the app are not allowed to enter full-screen or even half-screen as this poses a security risk. Hi, my name is Ahmania, and this is just a heads up. Soon, more and more devices will be equipped in handling, storing, and processing biometric information through the digitizer and screen, with potential access under-display cameras that use infrared data transfer protocols or under-display finger-print scanners. This poses dangerous opportunities for bad actors to use ads as a means of data harvesting or data collection of sensitive biometric identifiable data. Please take this very…

Prohibit the screenshotting of any photos or videos in convos, inside and outside of albums.
The ability to screenshot/record photos & videos should be prohibited outside of an album, just like it is when included in an album. This is with the exception of original photos, videos, or files uploaded. You can do it to your own, but not others.

Photo Verification
Having had my photos used on fake profiles as well as having been tricked using faked photos more times than I would like to admit I feel a photo verification process similar to Tinder’s is very necessary to the safety of users.

Verified users
Social media sites often offer verification to users to ensure authenticity and safety to other users when connecting.
Grindr is often used by people that are closeted, shy and discreet, therefore even a profile that is verified without a picture would increase the chances to users to connect.42 votes -
Photo verified
Hi,
I noticed an increase of fake profiles or scams on this app leading to a not safe community/environment.
Would you consider including a photo verification process like other apps e.g Scruff, Tinder, Hinge?
Would be great to have a symbol in the profile showing it was verified.
I understand that some people are discreet or prefer to have a blank profile, maybe include an option to verify without having the photo in the profile too.
This will help to build a safer environment for people using this app.
Thank you for the consideration
Regards,

FIX MOCK LOCATION
THIS FEATURE WASTES SO MUCH TIME AND REALLY SUCKS BECAUSE IT JUST ALLOWS FOR BAD POOR PEOPLE TO SCAM WESTERNERS.
But you know that bc ur a really crappy Commie BS company spreading disease, psychological harms and ripping off gay men AND WORST OF ALL helping turn all of normal relations into a giant exercise in marketing and sales.
Basically GRINDR is now nothing but an advertising location for scammers and whores.
Oh and you massively violate privacy and charge insane money for the privilege of getting endlessly SCAMMED and defrauded by FRAUDULENT PEOPLE.
There is ZERO. I mean ZERO…

Scam button
Most recently there have been more and more scam artists on Grindr wanting to find people who need help financially with credit card debt or college loan debt when all it is is another one of the gift card scam artists it's ridiculous I fell into one a couple of weeks ago and lost about $5,000 to this jackass who I'm now taking to court. Just wanted to point this out to other guys beware.

Avoid iconography/ labels that indicates drugs/ or sexual services
Determine a component enough capable to identify when a user are using this iconography/ labels and take action (tbd)
The main proposition is to avoid as much as possible profiles that are actually selling drugs and offering sexual services, this are easily identifiable with emojis or specific words,

Block chats print screens and/or don't show tapped album photos' thumbnails in chats
It's no use to block print screens of album photos if the other person can tap the album photos and make their thumbnails appears in the chat, because the person can still print screen the chat window.

Vaccine Lists and DoxyPEP
It would be awesome if Grindr would add a place for Hepatitis A & B vaccinations as well as HPV vaccinations. As both of these are STIs, it would t be far out from necessary for Grindr to add these to the list.
Also, adding a DoxyPEP place would be awesome too. As it is becoming more mainstream to use it to prevent bacterial STIs, it would be appropriate to have a spit in the Grindr profile to show we use it. Plus the awareness would help more people get on it.
It’s all about improving these things and using…7 votes -

Mock locations prohibited
Guys please allow the use of mock locations again. If this means we have to verify through a phone number like with scruff then that's fine. I can't date for almost 3 months now via grindr cause you guys are blocking the use of mock locations. I get the whole safety stuff but this is not the way to deal with that. Please guys 💔
