Move my location when sending location.
My location is not accurate and is requiring me to enter my personal information in messages like telephone number or street address to arrange hookups. Would be better to allow me to move the location on the map to where my location really is.

An increase of scammers
I have recently noticed an increase in scam accounts messaging me. Most of them are for websites advertising adult content that you must sign up for by first giving the platform your credit/debit card information, others are trying to be a little more sophisticated by trying to get users to sing up for external "social media" platforms, such as a website known as "dreamguydatesandfun", found here: dreamguydatesandfun.com (Please do not sign up with real information as you will be scammed). I have done some research into the website and domain names, alongside similar reports such as this one from a…

Allow for customizable sounds
Allow for customizable, personal notification tones for chat, taps, etc. The Grindr tone is too well known and using custom tones would increase privacy & security.

Not knowing if somebody is signed into my Grindr
There should be under settings how many devices are signed into your Grindr account because some people have crazy exes and they like to hack into your Grindr and you don’t get all the messages they go to his phone and my phone so I would like the option to sign out of other devices that are signed into my Grindr

Please give indication where someone is exploring from
When someone is messaging you and they’re using the Explore feature, please give an indication of how far away or their general location (not exact) - this should ultimately help weed out spammers and scammers out of the system.

Allow me to appear offline to specific users.
Sometimes people can be way too persistent, and you'll want to feel free to use the app without making yourself available to those people. And while blocking people may be an appropriate course of action in some cases, there are other cases in which you may want to stay in touch with someone on only a limited basis. Blocking people who know you personally and to whom you may be subjected in real life can also create conflict which this feature could easily help people to avoid.

Remove Women
Remove women from the app...the gender option. It's insulting AF. Straight people invading gay spaces is not cool; you are taking diversity a bit too far.

Make albums automatically unshare after 30 days
I don’t realize how many people I don’t talk to that still have my album. And even if I forget it should still just automatically unshare it after 30 or 60 days. Either you have to reshare it, not that hard to do if you are actually talking and meeting up possibly regularly.

Unsolicited nudes
Before users can send photos there should be a reminder, "The person you want to send a photo to has selected never/not at first for NSFW pictures. Is the picture/album you wish to send compliant with their wishes and compliant with laws against cyber flashing?"

block email
if you ever fix the block problem... when we block someone it blocks any new account with that same email forever. that truly is a safety concern since you don't require real photos or verification.

Pic validation
To reduce the amount of spam accounts/catfishing and stealing of others identity it would help if there was validation of profile pics to ensure they are who they say they are. This could also be done for pics in albums or uploaded pics for guys who do not want a pic on their profile. There is too much catfishing these days. It's becoming a off-putting to the extent that it seems pointless at times as your aren't even aware of who is real or not.

Face verification like Tinder
Make an AI that verificates face photos with your face to have verificated profiles, just like Tinder does. It would make the app safer.

HSV (Herpes) and more disclosure options on profiles
I would love to have an option to disclose being position for HSV 1 without typing it out in my profile.
That sort of disclosure being “Grindr-sanctioned” would take a huge weight off the shoulders of so many who suffer from the shame and stigma of this virus, even though nearly half of Americans have HSV 1 and one in five have HSV 2.
Grindr has led the way in normalizing disclosure of HIV status and reduced so much of the stigma and shame associated with that virus. Can it please do the same for HSV (Herpes)?
I can see…

Link valid cell numbers to get these fucking druggies off the app
Make it so to make an account you HAVE to have a phone number that is valid and not from text now linked to the account, so when people are reported for prostitution, drugs, etc. And get banned, they can't just make a new account, and be right back online, my town is flooded with drug addicts and people selling ice and despite repeated reports I see the same people back on the next day, the app has turned into a toxic hookup and party play app, not a dating app, be more strict I don't feel safe on the…
