Profile creation time / Verification
To minimize catfishing, fake accounts and abusive people, I suggest seeing how long ago a profile was made.
Or adding a badge if someone is new.
People that get reported and blocked just keep creating new profiles to continue harassing others and I’m tired of it.8 votes -

Privacy - Grindr Trackers are sending your full name and email to 3rd Parties!
I have a tool that tells me what apps on my phone are sending information about me elsewhere (trackers). While common in many apps, what is quite UNCOMMON and ALARMING are the number of 3rd party trackers Grindr enables in the background (even when the app is not running) and the sheer variety of personal information it is sharing to anyone that will pay them for your data. Your first and last name, your email, your GPS location (at all times). If you are someone attempting to be discrete, maybe you are an elected official, etc - any company can…

Modify the blocking and reporting feature
Many times I get abusive messages from someone who instantly blocks me without any ability to report them or to block them.

Automatic spam flagger
Automatically scan each chat message for words like gift, steam, card, cash, etc ....
If a word is detected, whoever sent it has their profile secretly flagged. Then, somebody at Grindr can block accordingly or whatever they need to do.
If you want to pretend you care about privacy, you can have a pop-up come up saying we think you received chat message from a scammer, may we have access to the chat you had with them.8 votes -
Present a stern warning to underage users for profiles claiming age 18 (or < 21)
If there’s not going to be any real verification, Underage users need to be informed of the serious risks to their own safety, and the potential to destroy lives of the adults they contact. Advise them that their parent/guardian will be notified and held liable for their behavior. AND that repeat offenders can be charged as adults for endangering the lives of those they contact. sometimes minors may reach out because they have suicidal thoughts or their lives are in danger. Remind them to seek help from parents, counselors, teachers, relatives, neighbors, or call 911.

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.

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.

show the registered date to prevent the user from having a fake account or a con artist
there are too many fake accounts from con artists. that wastes people's time and makes people take risks. showing the registered date of the user could let people know who is more likely to be real. thank you very much!

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.
