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…

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,…

Blocked Chat Retention
Recently was assaulted by someone met of Grindr. After the incident I was blocked by the assailant and I no longer had the chats as evidence. If someone blocks you it shouldn't delete the chat stream. Delete media and pics maybe, but leave the chats.

Block is no longer available
The block option is no longer available and was replaced by the hide option. Blocking a user is an essential safety tool in Grindr that can protect us from violence and harassment. Disabling it put in risk the safety and privacy of Grindr users.

Verify account to reduce Ghosting and fake profiles
It appears Hosting and fake profile to solicit pictures and to raise user emotions before ghosting them is becoming more common than not.
Not only does this impact the mental health of users who are being ghosted, but it seriously impacts the user and makes them question their existence without our community.
Fake users are getting off on getting attention but never following through, nor ever going to meet, but lead the user on before blocking them 2 mins before meeting.There needs to be some facility within the app to verify the user, or a 'commit to meet' option…

Turn Off Grunt as default!
Keep grunt off as default. There were several times this went off & I thought my phone was hacked. It was alarming. Keep usual tap sound not grunt. This grunt will definitely cause issues with privacy & anyone trying to be discrete. Not ideal for ppl in the closet.

block "For you" chats
I do not want Grindr to recommend chats, and I'm certainly not going to pay for the feature. In fact I would block most of the profiles that are listed (first two in list were crossdressers). If Grindr can keep all of its AI profiles in this area and off my grid then it's useful. Otherwise it's waste of space that I don't want to see.

Roll back roam
Are you fucking retarded? Your platform is already flooded with scammers and roam will just help facilitate that problem. Your management has already driven this platform into the ground, now you cater to scammers over real users. Typical corporate idiocy. Sorry your investors want a bigger pay day. Maybe if you provided a service that helped users rather than putting everything behind 15 layers of subscription you wouldn’t be circling the drain

Camouflage Features for Safety & Privacy
Give us the option to change app name from “Grindr” to something else like Calculator or Browser (to safeguard users in anti-LGBTQ environments). And also if possible an option to change the app’s default yellow and black theme which almost everyone can recognize from a distance. This will increase safety and privacy for users

The new "grunt" sound overrides custom sounds - fix this
Please make all sounds customizable.
I used to be able to customize notification sounds in Android. Now the "grunt" sound won't allow itself to be overridden.
It's creepy for a human-like sound to come out of my phone randomly, and it'd be even creepier to hear it coming out of someone else's phone.
Fix your shit plz. I dislike having to turn off all notifications but it's not a realistic option to keep this sound on.
The divide between grindr not working well and sniffies just working is growing and growing...even reddit is better for hookups at this point.

Fake profiles
Get your IT department to get rid of all the fake profiles currently plaguing Grindr. I have just blocked about 7 located nearby. It doesn't matter how many times I block these fake profiles they keep reappearing. Please do something about this.

Contact me only if you have a face pic
Even if you put on your profile that you only accept contact with a photo, many people without a photo don't read the profile and continue sending messages. A feature that allows you to only accept contact with people who have a photo. Preferably, face photo

Identifying scammers
Hey guys. Not sure if you guys have been told about this or not. This was an idea the members came up with and it’s been passed along from member to member. There’s been such a huge onslaught of scammers on the site as you undoubtedly know. It’s almost impossible to maneuver around it. So what people have been asked to do if they’re suspicious is to ask the guy to do a selfie and instruct them to for example hold one finger up. That way you can see if the actual person matches the picture. The first time it…
