Give all users the right to turn off their location
Whilst Grindr doesn’t give your exact location, people can triangulate where you are. I don’t think it’s fair to charge $20 a month for the safety of users. In the last month I’ve been approached by three men in public who have seen me on Grindr and worked out where I am thanks to the distance feature. It has made me feel extremely unsafe. I’m staying in a hotel and a guy discovered this and booked a floor above mine and then tried to coerce me into coming upstairs or giving him my room number. I don’t think it’s much…

Allow people to opt out of being seen by profiles with no pictures
It’s really annoying to constantly get berated by profiles with no pictures because I’m not interested in discreet men. Please add a setting that would allow users to opt out of being seen by these profiles. Totally OK if it’s a premium feature for extra

Deleting messages on block is illegal
When grinder deletes or hides messages because someone clicked block user is harboring evidence from illigal activity. If a user failed to disclose their hiv status before engaging In sex that is illegal. For that user to have the ability to just click block and have evidence erased from the victim's view sets up major grounds of lawsuits in various countries such as USA and Korea.

Grindr should very urgently launch a profile verification function because the amount and level of dangerous fake profiles is overwhelming!
There are many fake profiles especially in cities like Zurich where the percentage of fake profiles is overwhelming! And what is worse is that they go very far in trying to get personal data for fraud etc. By not having a verification function Grindr exposes its users to a lot of risks that the current features just do not properly cover or solve.

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,

Alternate chat colour screen
With Grindr’s distinctive orange and blue chat bubbles it is very clear to another user, but specifically also to people with ill intent, exactly what app the person is chatting on.
For the safety of all users can we please have a choice of chat window colours to either something user set, is bland and nondescript or at least appears like a chat window that mimics Messenger or WhatsApp colours.

Unban people
A lot of people are banned unfair.
Grindr support is not fair. They don't took time to investigate what happened. If you send: when I will be unbanned. They always answer the same: sorry to hear, we know banned can be really upset, unfortunality we can't give any info about your ban for privacy reasons. This decision is final the case is closed.My idea will be too unban me!!!!

block
like other users had already stated: we have a problem with people creating new accounts in order to try once again their luck or even harassing those who blocked them.
I suggest the possibility to block users like in Tinder: ''block any new user with this phone''.

Fake account
To get rid of fake accounts, the application should require verification with a video and additionally a photo, and only then create an account for the user. There is such a thing as being verified on tinder.

Profile creation time / Verification
To minimize catfishing, fake accounts and abusive people, I suggest seeing how long ago a profile was made.
Or adding a badge if someone is new.
People that get reported and blocked just keep creating new profiles to continue harassing others and I’m tired of it.8 votes -
Privacy - Grindr Trackers are sending your full name and email to 3rd Parties!
I have a tool that tells me what apps on my phone are sending information about me elsewhere (trackers). While common in many apps, what is quite UNCOMMON and ALARMING are the number of 3rd party trackers Grindr enables in the background (even when the app is not running) and the sheer variety of personal information it is sharing to anyone that will pay them for your data. Your first and last name, your email, your GPS location (at all times). If you are someone attempting to be discrete, maybe you are an elected official, etc - any company can…

Fakes & flakes reduction via legitimacy verification
An option to be verified or some way to ensure legitimacy because there are entirely too many flakes and fake accounts. It makes the app a joke

Make unsend massage free or editing possible
Ever sent your location to someone or phone number and turns out the guys a creep or catfish or worse.
Unfortunately it's not free. IT SHOULD BEThere's also just editing a message that as typos because it can happen that would be nice.

Restrict who can see me by age filter
Make it so we can restrict who is able to view our profiles based on an age filter. E.g making it so no one under 25 can view my profile.
This would be great for professionals who may work with people who use the app *e.g people who work with queer youth, teachers, counsellors (me) etc.
it would be great to make it so my clients can’t see me/cross boundaries etc8 votes -
Modify the blocking and reporting feature
Many times I get abusive messages from someone who instantly blocks me without any ability to report them or to block them.
I cannot report abuse if they already blocked me. I also cannot mutually block them. So often they will unblock me and start the abusive messages without my ability to block them.8 votes -
Automatic spam flagger
Automatically scan each chat message for words like gift, steam, card, cash, etc ....
If a word is detected, whoever sent it has their profile secretly flagged. Then, somebody at Grindr can block accordingly or whatever they need to do.
If you want to pretend you care about privacy, you can have a pop-up come up saying we think you received chat message from a scammer, may we have access to the chat you had with them.8 votes -
Present a stern warning to underage users for profiles claiming age 18 (or < 21)
If there’s not going to be any real verification, Underage users need to be informed of the serious risks to their own safety, and the potential to destroy lives of the adults they contact. Advise them that their parent/guardian will be notified and held liable for their behavior. AND that repeat offenders can be charged as adults for endangering the lives of those they contact. sometimes minors may reach out because they have suicidal thoughts or their lives are in danger. Remind them to seek help from parents, counselors, teachers, relatives, neighbors, or call 911.
There are many legal and…8 votes
