Put a fetish section in your profile that lets you see what you’re into and what other people are into. Like kissing, dominant ***, small dicks, big dicks, chaser, feet, ect.... just to show what someone is into without asking about it.

Set location in a radius around your actual location for safety/privacy. So neighbors/family/co-workers/unwanted 3rd parties can't tell exactly where you are

There should be a poly option for Tribes so individuals and groups can see who is receptive to that dating style. Putting it as a Tribe instead of a relationship status would allow users to specifically identify as polyamorous and still choose options such as single or partnered.

To prevent scammers, I think Grindr should verify the identity by using a new live camera verification along with picture messages each person puts in the profile. There have been increased scammers in the area recently. Please take more steps to verify each person who is creating a profile than blocking accounts after people report. This would help people who are unaware of scammers to fall in trap.

Make distance part of normal setup. Not an option.
offer " no distance shown" as an option

I have had numerous spam profiles contact me with external web links. The majority of them use photos that have already been used for other spam profiles, each showing different distances away.
Being that there is now facial recognition software being utilised in social media etc, could you implement this software or something like it to automatically flag duplicate images being used? Especially the duplicates of already reported profiles. These image matches could then be flagged automatically and accounts deactivated.

We should be able to click a “remember me” box so we don’t have to always enter our entire email and password (which gets tiring) every single time. In that case all users should hold full responsibility for the security of their accounts as they should be already by properly securing their devices. Implement Face/Touch ID for Apple devices, following in suit with Chase, Verizon Wireless, and many other applications and businesses.

A integrated program to be added along side the apps messaging interface. Programmed to recognize specific typed words in messages to remove advertising bots. Prevent fake profiles, and provide better connectivity to user on user interaction. The program is already developed and easily integrated into any program. I've collected several pics/SS of messages received from ad bots, fake profiles, and scammers. With those I created a document file containing the most used words in their sequences used by these profiles. It's not going to recognize anyone that is real. And it also has an IP tracer and MAC tracer.

Add user verification for paying members. As part of this, paying users May block Communications with all non verified users

Please add profile position NO AN@L for those who doesn't want that.

Why not allow search of HIV status. I am poz and it would be nice to search for other poz or on prep guys without facing all the rejection, stigma, and ignorance of some people. Feels like Grindr is discriminating against HIV positive people.

Add a FWB (Friends With Benefits) tag to the "looking for" section. Not all of us want simple one night flings, OR a serious relationship. It would be nice to be able to find people who want to be friends and hang out, but without the immediate requirement of **, but to know that it's an option without having to wade through hundreds/thousands of users who are only interested in ** only or PG-13 only. FWB would be a great middle ground for users like us.

i think grindr needs something like a verify badge with influencer to earn money and not with ads commercial

There currently the feature to add notes to Favorite profiles, but sometimes I want to add a note to non-favorites. Either as a reminder of something we talked about, their name, or a warning that I didn’t enjoy talking to them.

Add tick box to indicate and search for NON-smokers!

If you do not want a certain or certain users to know you are actively on Grindr, you have an option to select which shows you as not active or offline to those users

The profile section needs far more categories (cut/uncut, size, hairy/trimmed/shaved, kinks, etc. ) and we should be able to filter using ALL categories. And yes, this should include gender and status. It’s great that you’ve made the app more inclusive but that inclusiveness shouldn’t prevent us from searching for what we want.

I would really love if Grindr added a feature that outlines ****** orientation; like Gay, bi, curious, pan (TS/TV), etc.

I just think it’s an important aspect to point out and it can save a lot of issues if it had sexuality defined and to be able to use as a filter. I promise it will serve a lot of users.

When I share my location it shows the pin right on my house, which is way too accurate if someone in the city just wants to know if I’m nearby. There should be an exact location and nearby radius (block/0.5 mile) option.
