Bring Back Block Feature—A Critical Safety Tool
Grindr's recent removal of the 'block' feature in favor of 'hide' poses a significant safety risk for users who rely on clear boundaries. While 'hide' allows users to remain visible to potentially harmful individuals, the 'block' feature provided a much-needed, stronger barrier against harassment and stalking. For many users, the ability to completely sever contact with dangerous individuals is not just a convenience—it's a vital safety measure. Reintroducing 'block' would give users full control over their interactions and enhance their sense of security while using the app. Prioritizing safety by bringing back the 'block' feature will demonstrate Grindr's commitment to…

Bring back the old blocking button. The Hide function is ridiculous. It doesn't even work, the profile stays on the grid, taps + messages.
The old block button was much safer and user friendly then the new hide option. The hide button doesn't even work. If you hide a profile they stay on your grid, there taps and messages are still there, if they were in your favourites list they stay in your favourites list. So it's a completely redundant option as it doesn't actually hide anything.
Removing the option to block people, makes Grindr unsafe. If it's not returned I'll be deleting and never using this app again. We should have the option to block people for our own safety on a social…

Bots
This app is full of bots taking up spaces on my timeline then there are the messages from fake profiles promoting porn sites My view is these are from Grindr to push users having to see the adverts for crap apps It really is making Grindr unusable

Remove audio greeting that force plays even in silent mode when you open the app
You are not allowed to force play a damn audio file when I open your app, with my phone on silent mode, announcing that I just opened Grindr to the whole room. In what alternate universe was it a good idea in anyone’s head to announce that someone is opening the Grindr app? An app that is known worldwide as the place where married men go to cheat on their wives with slutty gay dudes? No one is proud to have this app. Especially not now it has become such trash. This is a violation of the App Store and…

Spammers
Block Spam by introducing spam control measures! Spam bots don't register a in the viewed you tab. Silently introduce an anti spam feature where you cannot tap, message or do anything until you've spent atleast 5 seconds viewing their profile, or enough time that you would have atleast registered as 'viewed me' in the event they are 'incognito'. Additionally, introduce a feature where you can't tap or message a new profile within 60 seconds of tapping or within 3 minutes of messaging someone.

Right now feature
There is a map now inside the right now feature?! Why? Leaving it on the grid type or list worked fine. No reason the map needs to show my location or anyone else’s UNTIL both parties agree to meeting and they can swap locations as we have done before.
I get that updates are needed but this is ridiculous. HUGE SAFETY RISK9 votes -
Add face verification and blue tick for verified users to improve safety and reduce fake profiles.
Add mandatory face verification and a blue tick system for verified users to ensure authentic profiles, reduce fake and timepass accounts, and improve safety and trust on the platform. Currently, genuine users with real profile photos often still need to repeatedly prove their identity. With face verification, users can verify once and then get a visible “verified” label or blue tick on their profile, similar to Tinder, so their authenticity is clearly shown without repeated proof.

Enhancing User Safety: A Proposal for Trust Features on Grindr
En Français plus bas.
Context: Recently, there have been several serious incidents reported in Belgium and France where people have used the Grindr app to lure victims into homophobic traps, leading to tragic outcomes, including scams, theft, severe violence, and even, in some cases, death. While it’s impossible to completely eliminate risks, it is crucial to enhance the safety of all users.
Proposal: It is urgent to implement features that allow users to assess the reliability of the profiles they interact with, to better protect themselves. This could include a trust score, based on various criteria such as account age,…

“Optional profile verification with blue tick badge to reduce fake profiles and improve user trust.”
An optional profile verification system (selfie/ID based) should be added to the app, after which users receive a blue tick/verified badge. This will reduce fake profiles and catfishing, and real users will not have to repeatedly prove their identity.

Please get rid of the AI
I understand the desire for AI functionality. I’m not even telling you to delete it altogether. However, the feature feeds off my private information that I would like to be kept in between me and users I message. Yet it’s going to use my data to sell whatever back to me. I don’t want it and I opted out clearly. However every single time I open the app it gives me the choice to accept or decline. Probably 30 times by now. I’m tired of having to decline every time when I know if I accept, it’ll never pop up…

Bots/fakes
App is essentially useless because 90% of messages are from bots/fakes. The only remedy would be authenticating new users at set up. Till then I’m canceling my paid subscription and deleting my account.

only fans and trans prostitutes
90% of the pokes I get are either trans prostitutes or only fans content creators begging and scrounging for people to pay to look at their junk. They are poking, but not viewing my profile. I automatically report all profiles as spam that poke without viewing. Grindr must have a way to quickly isolate all profiles that poke without viewing and block their IP address permanently.

Mon compte banni
Bonjour,
Je viens de constater que mon compte a été banni (Erreur 28).
Je respecte les règles et les conditions d’utilisation de Grindr et je pense que ce bannissement a pu être appliqué par erreur.
Je n’ai jamais eu l’intention de violer les directives de la communauté.
Je vous serais reconnaissant de bien vouloir réexaminer mon compte et me donner une seconde chance si possible.
Je m’engage à respecter strictement toutes les règles à l’avenir.
Merci d’avance pour votre temps et votre compréhension.
Cordialement.5 votes -
Better safety and privacy for verified users.
Please add optional verified profile badge (photo/ID verification) so real users can show authenticity, while keeping unverified/blank profiles allowed.

Fake accounts…Subscribe to my onlyfans
The biggest pain point I’ve had on Grindr is the constant flood of fake and bot accounts. A lot of them use the same bait phrases like “subscribe to my OnlyFans.” These profiles are misleading, contribute nothing to genuine connection on the app, and honestly make the platform feel cheapened.
My short-term solution is to report and block/ hide them, but that still means wasted time and energy that I shouldn’t have to spend. The real issue is that Grindr doesn’t have a strong enough system in place to filter and prevent these accounts from being created in the first…

Maybe fix your total lack of safety measures
It is beyond horrific that this app is infested with fake profiles and bots. Even your damn ads consist of viruses. It is so hard for a normal person to create a profile and yet scammers have no issues getting access to this app and YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. The last six months have been a bot hell and when you get a report you never react to it. It just says awaiting moderation. What in the lords name do you even spend your money on? You want people to pay... but for what?

Request to Review and Remove Account Ban
Hello Grindr Support Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I am writing to kindly request a review of the ban placed on my account. I was surprised to find that my account was banned, and I honestly do not understand the exact reason for this action.
I would like to respectfully state that I may not have intentionally violated any of your community guidelines or terms of service. If I did anything that went against your rules, it was not intentional, and I sincerely apologize.
Please could you review my account again…3 votes -
Do something about all the fake bot accounts!
So many fake bot accounts using the same 4 pictures. How many spam reports need to be received before something is done. Maybe some sort of verification needs to be put in place. Like getting a code texted to you or something when you make a new account. This is getting really ridiculous having half of my feed covered in bot accounts. I mean what do we pay for xtra or unlimited for if all we are seeing is more of the same bot accounts?
