You guys should verify users' STD or HIV status by getting their report in pdf or whatever format.It will be very important for the users health as well as society.And also we can have authenticated partners who does not make random fake profiles by matching their profile data from backend (set limit to 2-3 profiles per person).

The app needs to work on blocking minors.
Recently a friend of mine was arrested for meeting a guy he met on your app. The guy turned out to be underage so my friend is facing jail time for unknowingly having sex with an underage person. The guy lied about his age on your app. I believe a copy of a drivers license or id should have to be scanned as authorization of proof of age. This might deter people from lying about their age.

Fake profiles, escorts, etc.
Fake profiles are not being handled by Grindr. I get guys who I've reported creating new profiles EVERY DAY and contacting me again -- there needs to be verification like a government-issued ID. If a profile with that ID has been reported/blocked/banned, they obviously should NOT be able to just create a new profile with the same ID. Also all the escorts need a separate category - any "regular" guy who asks if we're "generous" is an escort. The word "generous" if used should generate a pop-up warning. These escorts waste everyone's time pretending they're looking to hookup and only…

warning for ads
Ads pop up without warning which means you accidentally click on them, this is unsafe and can lead to being scammed or hacked. The App Store generally cannot find the apps too which I would imagine means they were removed from being linked to scams. Grindr should test the authenticity of all ads and should display a warning timer before the ad so people don’t click the link mistakingly. I actually wanted to complain but could not find the function.

Make it possible to report someone who block me
After someone block me, I can't report him. I think that is a big problem. In some cases, someone who block people is selfish! For example, we agreed that exchanging pictures but he blocked me after I send him pictures. I understand his right but that is rude and make me occur trust issue. I can't feel comfortable to use app.
I wanna report him but can't because he block me. Please make it possible to report someone who blocked me.13 votes -
Report Cyberflashing
There should be an option to report Cyberflashing (sending nude photos without consent). The "Accept NSFW Pics" category is set to "Not At First" on my profile, but people don't always respect this. An option should be available to those people who don't respect this.
As a preventative option, how about at least show a warning within the app before sending a photo, depending on what option people have selected for "Accept NSFW Pics"?

Block freature thet works
Blocking needs to be unlimited for everyone, it's a safety issue and personal security issues, I believe it's illegal to not let us block someone online in many countries including mine, grinder out back unlimited blocks or face legal action.

When you get a warning from grindr. It tells you nothing about what it was. You do not need to know who or when. Avoid false ones.
Some way, when a warning is issued you should get an email explaining the issue. You do not need to say from whom. Being subjected to a false allegation is not right either. You should not have to wait till the banned pops up because someone does not like your profile especially if it does not violate TOS, I realize moderators are there on a "complaint report", but that does not necessarily make the report Correct. A person should know the particular violation "if there is one.

Herpes status in profile
Herpes is estimated to be carried by around 20% of adults. Surely that percentage is even higher amongst Grindr users. As with HIV, once a person contracts herpes, its presence is permanent. Grindr should include a place for herpes status in profiles as it does with HIV to increase safety and awareness amongst users.

All Album Access
The whole purpose of introducing albums was to be able to control who has access to your private pictures. However, by only allowing access to a handful of albums at a time, the purpose is completely defeated. We should not have to pay to be able to have equal access to privacy and photo control. Can’t even access albums that were sent to us through the individual chats. Says albums are empty even though they are not. Just a cheap cop out from letting us access the feature for its intended purpose.

Share Location with “Jitter”
When sharing location it is ridiculously easy to superimpose Grindr map over Google maps and derive the users address - from there someone like me can discover all sorts of info. Hell, I can discover you have a hot brother in-law - get his VIN from there license plate and from there track him via highway cam. (No joke).
Also a lot of people share location instead is just saying an intersection or neighborhood. So I propose when sharing location you have the option of adding distance jitter. Add x feet, Nearest intersection, 1/4 mile closer or further (line of…

Option to Disable Video chat requests

Profile Verification With Verified Seal
It would be very nice if the profiles could be verified and that the verified ones received a verified seal.
That is important for the safety of users.
I have a problem with that because many guys block me as soon as I send them my photo, because they think I'm fake, and I'm not, apart from being handsome (and believed hahaha) I have a good body, and I take good photos in very beautiful places too so they think I'm fake and they don't give me the opportunity to explain myself, they block me.

Don't ban someone for having "not into trans" in their profiles.
I'm gay. I'm not trans. There's no judgment, but I will never, ever be attracted to trans. There's nothing wrong with that. You give me the ability to find trans, but you don't give me the ability to filter it out.
Putting in my profile that I'm not into trans saves everyone time. It's not discriminatory to give someone notification that I don't like men in dresses. Again, no judgment. Live and let live, but don't punish me for being gay and wanting to meet other gay men.

Expiring albums
It should be possible when I share an album, that I can define how long it will be available to one person. Or that it was defined as a default that the album would be available for a certain period of time. That way it wouldn't be necessary to keep revoking albums access, when you've reached the sharing limit.
