  1. Enable use of GPS (phone only) for location

    Currently, Grindr stupidly insists you have you location settings on the battery draining "high" accuracy setting, which is GPS plus the Google data gathering machine of Wi-Fi. This needs to be changed to allow GPS only. GPS gives high accuracy anyway so there is no need for anything more which offers no improvement except for Google's finances. Having your location data from an app such as this move outside Grindr's or your phone's realm is a terrible risk, particularly in countries where homosexuality is illegal. We also have the right to determine how location is determined, this should not be…

  2. Photo Verification

    Loads of scambots and postitutes use this app.
    They use screengrabs that are not them.
    A 2 key, photo verification system would reduce this problem to nothing.

  3. UNLIMITED BLOCKING

    Give all users, premium or not, unlimited blocking. Sometime someone is harassing you and there nothing you can do because you ran out of free blocking. That most of time results in the members deleting his account. I know they can report but until you guys review it one already had to go to a lot of harassment.

  5. Verifying every user when they first sign up- too many profiles with NO pictures!

    For verification purposes. Like tinder and MOST other dating/hookup apps have some sort of photo verification system to prove that it’s actually who you say you are. I am SO SICK OF ALL THESE USERS ON GRINDR WITH NO PHOTOS! in my opinion, I think it should be a requirement that if you want to be on Grindr then you need to have a clear, visible unaltered face picture of what you look like, so other members can see who all is in the room AND it’s especially annoying when those exact people with no pictures on their profile go…

  6. Disable distance displayed if user hides his distance

    If users choose to hide their distance then they should nt be allowed to view the distance of others. What goes around comes around. It should be fair for what ever reason a user wants to hide his distance even though Grindr isn't acurate he should loose the option to view others distance.
    Trust works both ways.
    Allowing users to hide their distance but view others means they can see without showing their. This is Not equal.

  7. Make this a safe space for male identifying bi and gay men. This is no longer a safe space with the curious straight men looking for women

    Make this a safe space for male identifying bi and gay men. This is no longer a safe space with the curious straight men looking for women. In an effort to be “inclusive” you have ostracized the very people this was created for. When I get old enough, I’m totally going to change my name to powers.Please give gay and bi men (male or male identifying) the safe space it once was. I am now surrounded by “straight” men that are looking to experiment with women. Cool the straight men and women have been allowed to take something that was…

  8. Allow Mock location again

    Allow mock location again
    I'm using it for 2 reasons
    1) to use Grindr at my job using my location of my home because I don't want anybody knowing I'm gay at my job
    2) when I know I'll be in another city for one or two nights to make pre contact with gay there

  9. Restore “Report a Recent Chat” feature

    You list “Report a Recent Chat” as a security option, but your instructions are outdated or inaccurate because ”Report a Recent Chat” is not listed under Settings, as you claim it is. Someone is currently trying to extort me that I met through your app, and I should have the ability to report him. It was a recent chat. Also, in general: require a verification for everyone (even DL guys, which this app caters to too much in lieu of safety). Ban people who are known cat fishers from creating multiple accounts.

  10. Trackers need to be Abolished

    Stop using 500 trackers when you pay large amounts of money for paid membership. It’s a huge invasion of privacy. Despicable. If people really understood what their data I was being used for not a single person would be on this platform.

  11. Blocking

    Right now, blocking is a four step process at its very least. Most people block more people than they speak to. And it’s a pain to go to each and every profile to do what needs being done. Many times, you may get viewed by a profile that’s not on your radar, and you may want to block it for privacy concerns. My idea is one step, multiple blocking. The same way one would select multiple pictures to delete in one go.

  12. Safety and privacy of gay men.

    This isn’t to bash anyone or discriminate against any gender or gender identity, but this used to be an app where gays could come to meet, hookup, chat, etc. But now with trans and CD’s making profiles on a site that wasn’t created for them, they’re taking away from the grid space that gays would otherwise have to interact. I also don’t believe that straight guys should be allowed to make profiles on grindr because I honestly believe that half of those profiles are fake and used to extract personal information from the gays that attempt to interact with them.…

  13. Verified profile option

    Allow users optionally to verify their profile and show that on their profile. As tinder and other apps do. That will reduce catfishing and will create safer place for people to engage.

  14. Expiring photo spam

    App should automatically Filter blank profiles that send only an expiring photo. I typically get a few a day. Blank profile messages nothing but an expiring photo and it's always advertising a porn site like NSAsex.net or something like that. Profile usually disappears after a few minutes as well

  17. +1 (424) 587-4735 This belongs to a profile that threaten to expose me to my friends and co-workers he wants $1,000 gift card Walmart. HELP!

    A user is trying to get me to give him $1,000 Walmart Gift card. He is threatening to so call expose me with the pictures I sent him and the messages I sent him. He blocked me before I could screen shoot his profile. We did exchange cell number, he called me to threaten as well. I told to go ahead do it. I wasn’t going to give him nothing.

  19. Mandatory Verified Age/Face

    The fact that there are so many blank profiles or profiles held by much older men targeting younger men is unsafe. This leads to predatory behavior, and makes it easy for bots to invade the app. There should be some kind of way to make it mandatory to send a photo ID to verify the person is real.

  20. Promote awareness of monkeypox

    Urgently post information to users helping people spot the early symptoms and rash characteristic monkeypox. This recent outbreak is in the early phases, appears to be heavily focussed on the MSM community, has potential to spread and harm, and may already involve people unaware of symptoms (Gay cis-man, Pandemic Scientist and Doctor). Email me an I will hook you up with relevant authorities.
